Features and handling differ by generation. Use this overview to find the right version.
Years
2001 - 2003
RP facelift (2001–2003)
GenerationThe RP facelift gained sharper bodywork, revised intake and engine calibration, and a smaller tank. It remains the first-generation Rotax RSV and should not be confused with the all-new RSV 1000 R from 2004.
Years
1998 - 2000
ME first generation (1998–2000)
GenerationThe first RSV Mille combines the 998cc Rotax V990 with an aluminium twin-spar chassis and analogue-digital cockpit. Its ME type code and rounder early bodywork distinguish it from the 2001 facelift.
About the Aprilia RSV Mille
The Aprilia RSV Mille is Aprilia's first large-displacement sport motorcycle, built from 1998 through 2003. It is powered by a 998cc 60-degree V-twin from Rotax producing 128 hp at launch. Aprilia developed the RSV Mille to compete in World Superbike against the Ducati 996 and Suzuki TL1000R. Alongside the base Mille, an R-version with Ohlins suspension and Brembo brakes was offered, plus the limited SP homologation special. The aluminium twin-spar frame with the fuel tank routed centrally lowers the centre of gravity and sharpens steering. Twin headlights, the dry-clutch rattle and the bassy V-twin exhaust note give the bike a unique character.
This RSV Mille suits the experienced rider who values character over outright spec-sheet performance. The riding position is sporty but not as extreme as modern supersports, making longer rides feasible. On track the bike truly shines: the torque-rich V-twin pulls hard out of corners and the Ohlins-equipped R offers excellent feedback. As a used buy it suits the enthusiast deliberately choosing an Italian twin from Aprilia's golden era rather than someone looking for a fast daily commuter. Expect dirty hands and patience during maintenance.

What to check before buying
- Check the water pump for leaks; the drive shaft commonly fails at high mileage
- Assess the dry clutch condition on R/SP versions; rattle is normal but worn plates need replacement
- Ask for service history with valve clearance checks every 20,000 km; deferred V-twin maintenance is costly
- Inspect the plastic tank breather system and fuel pump; ageing causes hot-start issues
- Look for corrosion on the cast aluminium frame and swingarm, especially around welds on bikes stored outside
