Hi guys couple of years back I advertised my friends millie on here and to be honest I couldn't stop looking at it. I've always fancied one ever since I passed my test. So with uming and ahhing for the last 2 years and annoying @Expat Jack and @bradders with countless txt messages over buying it I finally bought it off my mate. It's great I love it. Though not very quick compared to my r1 or pani R it's still good fun. It's no garage queen but I kinda like it like that. Here's the pics.
I chopped in my ZX6R and bought one brand new in 2001. It was slightly more comfortable than my 749S!
Glad it went to a good home... Always had a soft spot for Aprilia's, I think you get a lot of bike for your money. If I had space for a 3rd bike I'd fill it with another Aprilia
Your right Andy it's so much bike for the money, ok there not perfect but there's loads to can do to um which is right up my street.
Glad it stayed local, was really seriously tempted by this but ended up pooling my money to get the thrust on r as ultimately I already have a sportsbike
Must admit Phil your the reason I got my ass in gear and got it bought. thought if I let it go il kick my self. @Cream_Revenge I've still got most of my bikes mate not like me to change my mind
Good choice. I also bought one three days ago.. After a couple of trackdays on the st4s, I wanted a good, cheap sbk with all the goodies.
Great bikes, like it in the yellow aswell. I'm keeping my eye out for a 2003 bike which was the last of the mille and came with the radial calipers but don't come up for sale often.
deep down I had this feeling you would buy it in time lovely bike, I never crossed that one off the list.
I have a 2003 model, although not an R. It's now at 87k kilometres (54k miles). There are a lot of possible measures to spice things up a bit on the cheap. The original chip contains two ignition mappings, one for the standard exhaust/ air filter and one for "sport" exhausts and air filters with more flow. This is one of the best mods, as it removes the dent in the torque curve between 4 and 5 k revolutions.
