Aprilia’s RSV Mille is arguably the best value litre-sized superbike on the used market today. Faster and more powerful than Ducati’s 996, brilliantly engineered, uniquely stylish – exotic even, the RSV can still be found for less than half the price of its Bologna equivalent. Not bad for a booming V-twin with WSB race-winning pedigree.
Back in the late 1990s Aprilia were a company on a mission. The firm’s aim was to become Europe’s biggest manufacturer – the Italian Honda, and only a rapid expansion of models on top of the marque’s traditional 125 and 250 two-stroke offerings would achieve that. So the RSV was inevitable.
And it caused quite a stir when launched, especially when compared like-for-like with its then rivals, Ducati’s 996, Suzuki’s TL1000R and Honda’s VTR1000F. Aprilia had built a V-twin with its own unique, flamboyant flavour, that stood out from the crowd and yet matched or bettered its rivals for performance and ride. They’ve stood the test of time, too, proving reliable, extremely well built and engineered to last. If ever there was an Italian future classic in waiting it’s the RSV. Buy one now before everyone else cottons on…
