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 Cry .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! Tongue

Hi Stan,

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.

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.

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  Dead But it was the best morning in my live,20 years old and driving my own RSV-R Smile
I live south east of Spain,close to Alicante,about 220 kms south of Valencia.Not that hot down here. Wink
