The Appeal
Italian motorcycle manufacturer Aprilia has enjoyed a long association with motor racing and using this knowledge, has developed some immensely capable sports bikes. The RSV Mille R Factory is one such machine, with a high specification affording it lightning fast performance.
Here we have a beautifully presented 2005 example which has been part of a private collection. The vendor assures us that it benefits from full service history and indeed a maintenance booklet is included in the sale. The bike is in excellent order both mechanically and cosmetically, riding brilliantly with no faults to report. If you’re looking for a distinctive high performance motorcycle, we can heartily recommend this Aprilia.
