2005 Aprilia RSV Mille

Description

I’ve got a 2005 Aprilia RSV Mille sitting in my garage in Market-Drayton, Shropshire — it’s been stood for a few years now, so it’ll need a fresh battery, some fuel, and an MOT to get it back on the road.

It’s one of those classic V-twin sport bikes that really sings when you turn the key — that roar is still there, and the handling’s sharp. Came from a guy who’s downsizing his collection and has owned it since 2022. The bike’s in pretty standard spec, with a seat cowl and a rear hugger added — nothing flashy, just a bit of personal touch.

Full UK V5, two keys, original owner’s manual, and part service history are all included. The frame number is ZD4RPU02235000252, odometer’s at 20,900 miles. It’s a 997cc liquid-cooled V-twin with a 6-speed manual — same engine as the Tuono and a bit of the SL1000 Falco.

I’m not expecting it to be road-ready straight out of the box, but it’s been well looked after and has a solid service record. I’ve only just got it out of storage, so it’s not in a great state of daily use — but it’s still a lovely bike to look at and hear.

I’m selling it through Manor Park Classics, who run auctions in the North West. I’ve seen the photos and videos, and it’s a solid lot for someone who’s into classic bikes.

No warranty on condition or roadworthiness — always good to check it over before you go any further. If you’re interested, I can point you to the auction date — September 5th, 2025 — and you can see it before you commit.

It’s just sitting there, waiting for someone who’ll actually ride it. Not for show, just for the joy of riding a proper classic.
