[Jim]

hey everyone, new RSV owner here

have just bought an 2002 RSV Mille, see pic, i pick it up on saturday 18th august :D can't wait!

http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r182/jim19sport/mynewbike.jpg

it has a power commander and an akrapovic can, any idea what sort of power its putting out??


im 20 years old and live in the U.K, hopefully will get to meet some of you.

i also drive a subaru impreza if you're interested :D

[carpe diem]

Howdy Jim and welcome, i am sure when you get your bike you will have no regrets super machine, as for power it will put out at least 20bhp more than a black or white one (forum piss take :biggrin) keep us posted...:thumbup

[Jim]

black or white one? me confused haha

yeh, i had an aprilia rs250 whne i was 17, loved it! V-Twin 2 stroke heaven
then i had a honda cbr 600, hated it

i just have to have something with character and aprilia's certainly have that!!

i will put some pics up of my actual bike when i get it.

[Badger]

Welcome Jim, once you get used to the Red Mille you can progress to the faster Silver model:thumbup

[carpe diem]

Hmmmm...:eatcorn

[davesoimtold]

so if its the RED AND SILVER ONE IT MUST BE THE FASTEST OF THEM ALL

Welcome to the site Jim, good choice of bike too.
Loads of knowledge on here if you get stuck with anything, lots of banter too

[little1uk]

Welcome jim, about 70 miles from ya so will meet sometime, oh and i think the official manuals say its black and red that are the fastest:biggrin:biggrin

[carpe diem]

Yep you said it,smart like a donkey...:devious

[millekid]

you will see which is fastest when you meet the white one :hail

[carpe diem]

so yer blata 4.2 is a white one then eh milliekid...:devious

[little1uk]

Leave it Carpe, Millekid is an Evil Twin now, ya dont know what ya dealing with :scared:eek:

[millekid]

yes carpe the evil twin :mad1

[carpe diem]

ok dont rub it in, i know my one finger typing is slowing me posts down...:roll

[Badger]

Jim, that 250 is just lush, i am tempted to buy one of them actually, that is soooooooooooo pretty:thumbup

Silver Milles have and always will be faster, like a speeding silver bullet, not red, not white, not black, but silver, that's


SILVER

[millekid]

yeah but most silver bike owners self impose their pictures .. ayy badger :devious

[carpe diem]

SILVER ,with a dash of red...:biggrin

[little1uk]

And a big splodge of blackfor speed:thumbup:thumbup

[millekid]

white and gold gives you speed and handaling
but black , red , silver maybe fast in a straight line but it is the twisty bits that count :devious

[millekid]

hey come to think of it little1 has a good bike black and white but the red slows you down mate bout 60 mph i would say :biggrin

[carpe diem]

You are young but you will learn...:biggrin

[little1uk]

Ill pull them stickers off first thing mate :thumbup:thumbup:thumbup

[millekid]

You are young but you will learn...:biggrin

[millekid]

Ill pull them stickers off first thing mate :thumbup:thumbup:thumbup

havent you learnt anything badger :mad1

silver really slows you down luckily you have not got to much jim :thumbup
and you have more black and white so you will not feel the loss that you have sustained from the silver :devious
:lol

jim níce mille
ps red is nice :thumup
dont tell carpe diem :blush

[Badger]

black and white are Ford double cab tipper shades(and we all know how fast they are), they are not even colours FFS:slap_TLS

[Jim]
