Hi!I´m a happy owner of an 2002 RSV Mille-R,had it scince 2006.But from may 2008 till this days not done a single mile on it,been stopped in the garage for many,many years  .It´s a Long story...I´m restoring the bike now,should be ready for august.Only 17.500 kms on the clock.Well the bike starts,cost me lots of sweat to make it running again,changed a "few" bits to do that,still have to do the suspension,new wheels,MOT,and some more stuff. Hope to learn even more stuff and buy some beats and pieces in here. I´m one the first memebers in the Spanish forum v60.es ,I think more than one of the Spanish guys are in these forum ass well. Riding a Husqvarna 610 Supermotard in the time being... I´m stan The-Man in Facebook by the whey. Best Regards from the sunny Spain!

Welcome in Stan. Top marks for posting a pic on here. Most new folks find that as difficult as bleeding the back brake. Chortle, guffaw and titter  Enjoy the bike ------------- I'D RATHER A FULL BOTTLE IN FRONT OF ME, THAN A FULL FRONTAL LABOTOMY |

Welcome,my Mille although it was originally supplied by my local dealer came to me via Spain where it was laid up for several years. The strange thing was when I got some Oz decals from Ebay it turned out the guy I bought them from in America happened to be the origin owner who took the bike to Spain in the first place. Talk about the Global Village. ------------- www.apworkshops.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk Looking forward to the next track day |

All true,it turned out he used to live local to me and I probably knew him by sight,he rode over to Spain for a holiday,met a girl there and stayed for years. The bike was garaged and forgotten about till he decided to move to America,hence him selling it to a mate of his who vanned it back to the UK and spent nearly a grand on it tarting it up. He put about 500 miles on it then fell in love with a 'busa so I bought it. I never twigged when I bought the decals on ebay,it was only when I told my mates that the seller knew my area and asked about the local dealer that they told me who he was. ------------- www.apworkshops.co.uk www.apriliaforum.co.uk www.apriliaownersclub.co.uk Looking forward to the next track day |

Haaha...what a story. My bike has a boring story.I am the second owner.Bought it in 2006 in the hottest place in Spain,Seville. It was about +45 cº that afternoon  But it was the best morning in my live,20 years old and driving my own RSV-R  I live south east of Spain,close to Alicante,about 220 kms south of Valencia.Not that hot down here.
