DID I BUY A FAKE APRILIA RSV MILLE SP?

Perkins took a punt on an ultra rare 1 of 150 WSBK Homologation Specials - the Aprilia RSV Mille SP and took it up to Griff at AP Workshops for diagnosis and hopefully the seal of approval!

Griff is literally a walking encycloaprillia

[robevans]

Halfway through this video and wanted to stop and say: Pay this man whatever he charges. This is the guy you want working on this kind of machine. A perfectionist who knows all the details. Amazing knowledge and recollection for something 20 years old.

[roadrasher]

Griff has serviced and worked on every Aprilia I have owned, Griff is an absolute legend and wouldn’t have anyone else work on my Aprilias 🤘

[brokenbiker]

Get it on the road with new tyres and let that man take it for a blat. Anybody enthusiastic enough to notice the mudguard screw is wrong deserves a chance to ride it. Putting a smile like that on a mates face helps justify the purchase price!

[briansteele]

Griff should definitely be a honourable member of the team, he is well spoken and knows his onions, and has some classy banter ‘pissing like a puppy’…etc🤣😎👍

[neillthompson]

@44Teeth you have to offer Griff a proper ride out on that. A man that passionate about a particular bike needs to have a good go!

[Howling-Mad-Murdock]

“That screw’s wrong!” Haha, love it. Bike is cool as fuck and looks seriously great in that paint scheme. Can see why previous owner had it in his living room.

Fantastic stuff!

[PeteToken]

Loving the amount of videos coming out recently!

Bike looks great in that livery! All the time and expense to take it back to the factory paint just to make it look worse would be a bitter pill to swallow. I would leave it as a period-correct custom that looks fantastic. Hopefully you can piece together the full history on the bike. Nice work, Grumble! -Tim

Just remember it's only original once so why bother re repainting it back to standard looks sexy as is.

This guy is great. Another great video as well, Chris. Cheers!

Griff is a legend in his own right, take him up on his offer and film it for us. The road version and your SP comparison. I remember being given a ride on a full factory race team 851 Ducati back in the 90’s . I could still tell you exactly how it felt to ride nearly 30 years later. This is how Griff would feel about a ride on the SP, Some things just mean that much !!! Thanks for sharing such an awesome bike, great content.

[EarthToSean]

I just LOVE Griff's enthusiasm for this bike. It's contagious!

[ZondaF]

This is the type of moto vids I personally have been longing for. Unique insights into unique earlier bikes. This should be a 44Teeth special segment going forward. Love it!

[PiGnarSquared]

The two of you have single handedly made me an Aprilia fan. The genuine stoke throughout this entire video and the giggling and grinning going on shows there is truly something special about that machine. Can’t wait for the ride video. Congrats on the purchase!

[jammykane]

This is bloody awesome!!!! Would love to see more nostalgic bikes with history like this!!

[stepseldinski]

I love this bike so much. On my 2000 RSV mille I had these pipes running and even the Arrow manifold for the street legal bikes (because the cosworth heads have different manifold mountings). Only the 2-2 connection to the mufflers were missing and I planned to let me make some, to be able to enjoy the real 2-2 sound and power. Unfortunatelly there was an accident distroying my plans..

The sound of these two pipes (Aprilia SP Titanium) is so good.. not even too loud, but so so deep and crisp!

I am really happy for you to get such a good pick with this bike. Enjoy!

[henrikforsberg]

That grif-guy seems to know his stuff! Always cool when technerds get going! 😁🙌
