Which Gen 1 Mille R to buy?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Im currently looking to buy a Gen 1 Mille R in black. My favourite model cosmetically speaking is the satin black Playstation R with polished frame and swingarm. I have found though a very nice earlier 2000 gloss black R. Id welcome any advice re the differences between the Gen 1 R's or a pointer to a thread if this has been discussed before (I did have a quick look but nothing jumped out) as Im not sure the extent of the differences. Thanks very much

	They got a facelift in 2001 with both cosmetic and mechanical changes. ( engine got bigger valves and bodywork got a redesign ) I would personally get one of those over a 2000 model but the differences aren’t night and day if you find a lovely earlier bike. From memory it would need to be a 2003 model to have the black swing arm etc so anything earlier you should be happy with.
