2003 Aprilia RSV Mille review from New Zealand
"So much raw POWER!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Only problem I've had, is the bike began to stall and display would go crazy. Restarted the bike, then it would be fine. Traced the problem to the battery being on its way out; replaced and the bike has been fine ever since.
General comments?
This bike is great. It has so much power and torque; around 130 bhp.
It handles so well and can go lower than I can.
If you want something fast, torquey, that handles like a dream with reliability to match, then the Aprilia RSV is the bike for you. I love it and that V- Twin sound is so amazing; I had to buy an aftermarket can to unleash the sound, but I'm so glad I did. What a bike!!!
