RSV Mille SP
2000 Aprilia RSV Mille SP Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Aprilia's sport motorcycle platform, the 2000 Aprilia RSV Mille SP utilizes a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 145 HP (105.8 kW) at 11,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 145.3 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the RSV Mille SP measures 185 kg (408 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.78 HP/kg (1.28 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 825 mm (32.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,405 mm (55.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 275 km/h (171 mph).
The SP version is the most extreme of the RSV models this year, being even more optimized for racing than the R version. As the SP is being used in the World Championship by Aprilia's team, only 150 numbered bikes are made this year.
