i love my rsv and think its shape lends itself well to the riding position yeah sure the back end likes to step out a bit in the wet but i run pirelli sc2's on it and its still pretty good so good infact im thinking of getting another one
The rsv has stood the test of time... the r6 whilst popular can develop serious engine problems such as cracks in the bores and the gearbox can be a bit fagile. My r6 had both these problems. My mille however has 4 times the mileage with no money needed to keep it going except normal maintenance. They are bomb proof.
R6 , 2002 on 46000 miles and still no problems. First generation have some prob with 2nd gear , but easy to fix for som 15-20€ . You can learn how fom some youtube video . Sorry , but Yamaha is made for track , easy can eat you on trackday 😉😉

Just bought one. Sold my Triumph Speed triple 1050 2010. Picked up a standard example Mille, Mint. Buy now before the prices rocket.
Superb fun!!
I just this weekend picked up a very clean gen 1 rsv mille, its fantastic!
Well I'm buying a 2007 rsv1000 and I'm hoping I fall in love with it
You will. I can't get away from these bikes. Love 'em.
Rec Pro, Likewise, it's addictive!
Did you?
"contorted yourself around the bike"???? if your 4 foot nothing maybe. That's not a review, thats a dwarfs point of view.... a little different.

The riding position on the rsv is a bit brutal but for me I solved this adjustable clipons.

Ive got a mille with nitrous fitted i actually want rid to get a r6 as my daughters started to pillion and want something a little more forgiving
Well, the R6 is peaky and I assume your daughter doesn't get the nitrous. I'd thing the Mille is the more forgiving bike.
How small is Richard Hammond? I'm only 5'9 and fit the RSVR just fine.
he is about 5'7 (170cm) he owns a gsxr 1000 himself so i think he compares it to that.
3'5
Me too.. haha. Hes 5"4, 5"5 max.. so sure they used a stand or stool. R6 woulda fit him better 🤣
I really miss my Mille...
i do hope the camera man was fired...
i currently own a 94 Harley Davidson Sportster 1200, and a Kawasaki Zephyr 1100.
On r1 ,5 valves system and rubbish gear box
my first entry into super bikes was my 84 fj1100 with 200 hp at 16. that was a big step from my honda rebel.
Bill Hill lol That 84 fj didn't make anywhere near 200 HP, unless you had A LOT of work done to it....
