I love bikes and heavy metal, that pretty much sums me up haha.

I've been advised i sign up because i want to buy an Aprilia (No D-Rider not a Falco) I'm well interested in a Mille, preferably a Mille R 2001-2003 model. So any advice on that matter will be much appreciated.

Other than that hello all i look forward to getting to know you all!
Welcome OK. You do know that Mille's are 10 a penny and, if you want exclusivity, you need a Falco :smt007 Ooooh looky.... there's a tasty one HERE
The ride is the reason ........ the destination is just the excuse.

There are already 3 soon to be 4 on Cov bikers. There is only one Mille on there.

GSXR 600's and R1's are more exclusive on there :smt019

LOL, I can vouch for the owner of the Mille too. He is definately one to look after his bikes properly. Always has since his AR125 23+ years ago! He didnt sell me that one either... :smt005

Welcome by the way !!

I'd have a nice Mile R over an sp1 any day. Oh and possibly Tweaker's Falco over the R if my own wasn't so similar.

Wecome to the site Matt. :smt006
The Mille and Mille R are nice bikes, bit more focussed and a bit more common than the Falco, but the Falco is more comfortable.
I'd go for Dave's Falco over a standard Mille, there nothing much to split them on performance anyway.
The early Mille R is a bit more special and certainly a good choice if you can find a good one.
Good look with your search.

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
