Storm v Mille
Re: Storm v Mille
I have seen one on a advert but it did say 600 might of been 650 but it defo did state 600 not sure if thats the modell or cc
Any way my mates r6 is 130bhp he says and i told him mine should be around 100-105 so he says ill keep up then
But he couldnt not a chance straights, bends,coming out of bends all of it i pissed on his fire
I could here his slightly screwing up and down the gears and Im just taking it easy
Maybe diffrent on a track but im the winner GAME OVER

Re: Storm v Mille
If your buddy has an R6 putting out 130 bhp then it has received some serious attention from a tuner. The latest R6 puts out about 120-125 crank hp stock, which translates to 105-110 bhp (bhp referring to back wheel hp)....
As for the 600 cc Aprilia Mille, looking forward to seeing the pics, may want to post them along with those of Nessy or the abominable snow man....

Re: Storm v Mille
i think the ratio between 1000 and 600 and is bit like what ive told my missus 6 inches looks like.
3 out of 4 people make up 75% of the worlds population.
Re: Storm v Mille
Okay so the guy made a typo easy done, move on
The Mille is a Fantastic Bike, a big b8stard of a bike as well, a proper 'Man's' bike 60degree twin as a opposed to the 90Degree of the Honda's, Dukes and Suzuki
They go well very well, but i have herd of iffy bikes, i wouldn't use it as a day to day i dont think it or most things would cope as well as a storm

Re: Storm v Mille
This is my mates mille 600 below and you can see Mille on the bellypan and 600 on the tail. The logbook says Mille and 598cc.
He seems to have more at the top of the revs than me but I have more at the bottom and my VTR seems easier to throw around.

Re: Storm v Mille
Your mates are winding you up with their 600 stickers on their Milles
Aprilia RSV Mille 998 cc

The word "millione" was coined in Italy from mille (Latin, "thousand") to mean "great thousand" and this has given us our word "million.
The only 598cc bike from Aprilia is the Tuareg

Re: Storm v Mille
Are you sure that the sticker is not V60* as in "Vee" 60 degrees Image?
Have to agree with Wicky that I believe the only 600 Aprilia do is the "offroad" Tuareg.
Still strange if the logbook states 598cc.

Re: Storm v Mille
Nothing really wrong with the RSV Mille as far as reliability goes, suspension links ??, a few isolated cases around the world on the 04 onwards, people do have problems with the sprag clutch, but thats only because they don'tknow how to start them, they're a high compression twin, if they don't fire straight away give it a moment to take a breath and have another go, don't just hit the starter again, should have no probs then.
As for the riding the Mille's a single minded bike and doesn't do town work well and there's alot of heat right by your legs, and they're chomping at the bit, they live for the twisties although they're not that bad cruising on the motorway... The firestorm is probably the better allrounder but it's a softer bike.. But like most bikes it's usually the rider that makes the difference, there's many a firestorm rider who can see of an RSV and vise versa.

Re: Storm v Mille
What your mate has there is an rs250 with a 600 engine in it
Re: Storm v Mille
Thats a Mille frame and plastics. Also its a 4 stroke exhaust, I think.KarlosVTR wrote:What your mate has there is an rs250 with a 600 engine in it

Re: Storm v Mille
I am right
It's an rs250 frame and swingarm with 1000 plastics and my best guess some rotax 4 stroke single
