I've got a 99 Mille , owned for 24 years and it's going down the hole with me, 98,000 km , immaculate and has never missed a beat, only failure was a side stand switch that crapped itself years ago and a tip over switch that stuck when it fell over in a major earthquake in ChCh New Zealand in 2011.In my 70's now but can manage 500km day rides on it still .
Great Video. The 2002 RSV MILLE R Troy Corser Replica in Yellow its a forgotten Classic Bike I absolutely love mine. I always wanted an Italian Superbike but the Duke 916 was too uncomfortable for me (but is still a great bike) I've had my Aprilia for ten years and it's still amazing. Cheers Romano
I've a GSXR600 K1 (though it has hot cams, a Yoshi system & Power Commander) and the RSV which is bone stock. Flat out I don't think there is a huge difference. The RSV is a good bit heavier but it doesn't feel it once rolling. The GSXR feels like it's going faster than it is because you really have to keep the engine spinning, by comparison the RSV is effortless. On the road the torque from the big twin really makes itself felt, you don't have to drop gears or slip clutch, I'd say it's noticeably faster almost everywhere. On a track or nice B road, the RSV still definitely has the legs but it's a lot closer.
119bhp, that aint right, the Mille R has 137 to my recalling and I know bhp aint the same as hp or ps but than still it's only a 0.01 difference per 1 so 119 is not correct.
Exactly I don't know where 119 comes from mine is around 139 ish but feels more than that it can easily get on the back wheel so think the SP is about 150bhp standard
Yeah should be 137hp and the sp145hp. If you have one thats a very rare machine you have, treat that monster well. I had the exact same bike you are driving here in this vid, great bikes, that was 14 years ago and now looking for one again but the tuono version, getting old you know my back and wrists can't do it anymore hah.@@PXCBIKES
It’s 2023 and I still love mine.
They are the best bike ...I won't let go of mine either 😁

I love the yellow one mine is an 02 matt black mile R but I would like a yellow one also.... absolute brilliant bike
Great vid, absolutely love my Millie 😊
I love mine also best bike ever for me 🍻
I absolutely love mine, same color scheme and all!
The yellow ones look awesome for sure
Keep these videos coming !!!
Oh yes and I have a rare ZX7r review video too to upload
This is not a 2001, This is a 2002 Model Year. Every year on the first gens the decals were a bit different.
Yes... The video is from 2001 WSBK they where testing the 2002 range bikes at the time
How does the 119,bhp stack up against the 600s of the same era?
Think the mille r is around 130bhp but a 600 wouldn't keep up with it there is way more torque with the mille
@@PXCBIKES yes I was just curious, I meant to write 128bhp not 118
I'm looking at a 929/954 fireblade or an rsv...I've never rode a twin

I helped restore the SP and I Painted it but sadly it wasn't mine 😔 but it was great having it here in my workshop
