2004 Aprilia RSV Mille R Specifications

Although the 2004 Mille has the identical chassis geometry (rake, trail, wheelbase) as last year, it has somehow been injected with newfound agility. Quick steering transitions are less work than previous while remaining on the safe side of twitchiness. Also helping reduce lap times is the new bike's reduced tendency to stand up in the corners while trailing the brakes, perhaps a byproduct of the Mille's new frame that is claimed to be 5% stiffer.
