Hi Lads,
I remember joining this site some 2 or 3 years ago wanting a Aprilia rsv mille r, and been in Ireland its safe to say these bikes are very hard come by. So after all this time ive actually Finally purchased one yesterday.
Its a 2002 rsv mille r with 17000 miles on the clock.
Its very clean, but has the odd small scuff..i insured it today and WOW..its so different to my Bandit 750.
I can seriously say here and now these bikes are just amazing to drive and that sound is like no other and im hooked on V-TWINS after only 2 hours of driving it.
Now the next thing is some advice on what products you guys use to give the big beast a good cleaning, and is there a link someone could share with info on how i can post a picture to show you guys my new pride and joy

Excellent niceone chuffed for you they are mega bikes. As far as cleaning goes check out nooj's website he has some amazing products the link is on here. Put your photos on a hosting site like photobucket then use the little pic of the tree and copy and paste the URL code and should work. I managed it with a bit of help.

nice one bud, best mods with great bang for buck are the redratbike collector (modified exhaust collector) 16/44 gearing instead of the 17/42, also get Griff to give the beast a once over and balance the throttle bodies, it'll be a different machine after

This is a good view of what Mols gap is for anyone of our neighbors who don't know.
