RiderSite.com - Motorcycle Forums

Hello there, My names Matt i'm another visitor from Cov Bikers.

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 aboard Matt.
I'm sure you'll get all the advice you need here, and then some!

Welcome Matt, hope you get what you want, it's a brill bike.
Almost as good as a Falco, ask D-Rider.

While your in the bar i'll have a pint of the Old Peculiar please.

Welcome O Kidd of Oddness !

Just to put you in the picture, the Ridersite in itself is not brand specific and is there for all biking people.
It has a number of sub forums that are forums in their own right the strongest being the Apriliaridersite and there's also a fairly strong Kawasaki following on here too .... given the bike you've just sold you'll find other enthusiasts.

In the ApriliaRidersite we are strongly dominated by Falcos but we do have some Tuono, Futura and Mille riders on here too - and given the strong similarity between them all, the knowledge you need will probably be here.

Anyway - you are most welcome ..... now we can start wok on Steph to get her over here too

As for Cov Bikers on here ... well there's you, me, Will, Dalemac, Booshlite (occasionally), and Barking Frog ... though not seen him on either forum for a while and Growler just joined too.

Oh great.. who let you in

Pint of the usual please squire.

crap

they are breeding

if only i could get some of my locals to use a computer - the webbed fingers make the mice hard to operate.....

pint of Tullamore Dew please

All I can say is, the Coventry Aprilia dealers must be better than our local one! (Don't see a lot of 'em round here)

Welcome Odd!

from BG - Kwak owner!

LOL ..... what Coventy Aprilia dealers? .... I think the nearest is the far side of Birmingham

welcome, tis a good group here I've certainly learnt a lot

Used to be one called "Junction 3".. as it was just off J3 of the M6.. Now closed. Mate of mine used to work there.. Was also a MotoGuzzi dealer..

Welcome and that'd not be a bad choice for a second bike.....

Well drinks all round!

Aye i clocked the various sections D Rider and i'm sure a few of he Kwak fans will be devastated i sold my ZX7R.

I have to say i'm still considering an SP1 argh decisions!

I shan't be buying anything for a week yet though,

I know of a nice 01 Mille for sale not 40 miles from you with Evo kit and loadsa carbon and other goodies for around £2500.
PM me if you want a phone # Matt.

Hello there.

Do you know much about the bike? I'm being a bit picky with them to tell the truth. I've heard the reg year and model year aren't always the same, is it he model with the cheek pads or the one before. Is there any damage to the bike, has it been dropped at all?

Would the chap mind waiting a week for the cash as i've just lent the money i had for a bike to my parents so they could pay for a holiday and i shan't get it back till next tuesday.

Really appreciate you getting in touch. I am finding it really hard to find the bike i'm happy to part cash for.

I know the bike and the seller and would vouch for both.
I don't know owt about the versions.
I do know it has never been dropped, but has had some professional painting done because of laquer damage where stickers peeled.
I posted details a couple of years back but he changed his mind about selling at that stage. There were pics tho. https://www.ridersite.com/viewtopic.php?t=3784
He isn't desperate to sell, by which I mean I don't think tis advertised elsewhere so a week or so would make no difference.
I'll send you a phone number and suggest you ring him for any details.
