Re: Honda VTR1000 SP-2 or Aprilia RSV 1000 Mille
i would opt for the mille mate. mate of mine had the sp2, very firm as a road bike, watched him loose the back end several times before it bit him and highsided. the rads are on the sides which dented the frame and wrote it off. allways prefered the look of the mille. cant comment on the ride of one though. sound the bo**ocks with a nice pipe.

The electrics on the newer ones are by Siemens... Its their fault.
 Aprilia's are generally more reliable than a lot of people say. Id be happy to say you'd have no real issues. |

Re: Honda VTR1000 SP-2 or Aprilia RSV 1000 Mille
sp 2 is a fantastic bike the millie is very good bike your choice. ive got an sp1 and for me its perfect no problems with seating position insurance is £200 tpft fuel mileage is 90 miles per tank sp2 is better on fuel bigger throttle bodies and evened out the bottom end but you dont buy these bikes for for economy. the sps engine is bullet proof not sure about the millie and there is nothing like the sound of geared cams at high revs

Aye the mille plant is bomb proof, the only time ive heard of issues is when they are over rev'd on gearing down. 14K rpm isnt so great for those valves
