Aprilia RSV Mille R - Onboard Erik Kjuus MGP Senior Qualifying 2019 - Manx Grand Prix Friday

[@Ironhorse41]

Brings back memories love the sound of the Aprilia Vtwinn

[@tristanader6928]

Great to see an RSV Mille on the TT course in 2019 !! Repping old school vtwins ✊

[@paul8161]

Anyone who can ride that circuit that well gets my utmost respect and has balls of steel trusting to gravity to keep them safe, great riding, keep it up.

[@jasongreen2179]

I had one of those. Awesome bike. The sound it made on the over run was like music to my ears. I would play with the throttle just to hear it. Super fast effortless power and dripping with superbike kit. Oz wheels, Brembo brakes and Ohlins suspension. Even an Ohlins steering damper tucked away. Not to mention the carbon fibre. Damn I should never have sold her. Right I'm off for a cry now.

[@reasonsvoice8554]

Still got 01 and a 04 blade the mille is such good fun got a spare engine for it to that I wanna make a off road bike with 😎😎 That's bound to be a riot

[@SuperWhiteBarry]

Miss mine to watching this...! I should never have sold her too...

[@Cybasty]

I still have one: 2002 Mille RP with 2 in 2 Akrapovic Carbon exhaust System (Colin Edwards Look a like) The Brembo Break is the best. Even without ABS the Break is Perfect and safed my Ass a couple of Times.

[@Mindsetcoach007]

Great story, i own an RSV MILLIE 2000.. Just epic sounding bikes. Il never sell her..😍🤞🏽. Move on buddy, move on🤣

[@woooster17]

Just bought a Gen 2 RSV Factory, was delivered Friday.. now I’m itching for spring to ride it!

[@thevoodoo57]

How on earthcan these riders actually see where they are going!!!???? makes my eyes water and head spin! Your a rare breed indeed!

[@fabiorsv2351]

Even the last of the drivers has all my respect! 👍👍👍🏍️

[@paul8161]

That bike and rider isn't slow and are great on the brakes and really reel them in on the brakes,, they certainly know the best lines around the circuit, beautiful riding 👌.

[@felixfeuerpfeil3394]

The mille is just awesome. Verry good ride!! Bought me an mille RP just a week ago. Can't wait to get an eargasm...

[@UnrestrictedIsle]

Such an incredible sound, like riding a thunderstorm

[@millie2079]

Such a good deep sound. Never tire of watching these superhuman fella's onboard the TT

[@christophbarthel6542]

Nice mate love the ride with the mille on the tt, have seen the video now for the 5th time 💯

[@UnrestrictedIsle]

Keep coming back for the noise? :D

[@patrickkerr6159]

That anticipation of getting onto the course is giving me goose bumps!!!

[@MrUrlawyer]

Well done, mate. I love to see and to hear the great V60-twin.

[@stud1168]

Well done!! Noticed your concerns over mountain, don't blame you either. Balls of steel, great viewing and good luck from Scotland. ATB.

[@ReferenceFidelityComponents]

Great footage and sound track. I had two of these bikes over 12 years...one was the gen 1 Edwards Replica. Took the first one over the TT course and will remember that ride forever. Regret selling mine but will have another one some day. These are becoming cult classic bikes...unburstable engine and gearbox and great chassis. A real mans bike...tall and meaty! Far better than any Ducati ever was back in the day! Edit: two years later now on 2021 and I have my 3rd mille! This time a gen 1 rsvr dripping with ohlins and carbon.☺

[@Dstructeur1]

My first liter was and still is after 6 years a gen 1 rsvr with forged OZ and everything, what a bike. Took a few days to get used to it but ever since I'm blasting past much better bikes on track, that thing just feels as wild as can be with titanium exhaust

[@philtoft3863]

Excellent stuff, Cheers to ye both for putting that up. Tarmac looked wet and shiny in many places!! Big Balls!

[@systempwn3d991]

loved it cant get enough of tt onboards, should all be posting absulute crazy skill! respect! what a thrill

[@Quickdraw_Punslinger]

Glad to see Erik back on the mounted course again! Wish him the best of luck from me!

[@Mindsetcoach007]

What the hell are these riders seeing? The whole track mapped out by timing, feelings, speed and PURE BALLS OF AND UNKNOWN HEAVY METAL 🤣😍. Love these guys, my 1000cc Millie can keep dreaming!!

[@martinscopes3914]

I have one now it’s red with red powder coated red wheels. All the stuff the last review said and mine has a lot of carbon fibre. All the dash is carbon fibre and red bulbs light up the dash board and a shop fitting satnav all the extras I’ve not rode it for 11-years. It all so has a track race exhaust system. The power it just lift so easy . Are not sell it not for years. The number plate says RSV .

[@simonplouvier391]

Where can we follow you? Need to see your bike and other for preparing the mountain course too

[@olavrnning3331]

He is on Facebook, but the page is in Norwegian. There are lots of pictures and films there. Just search for Kjuus Racing.

[@JJMac-tl3xg]

I have had aprilia's all my life starting with my red SR50 scooter soon got bored with that and graduated to a blue aprilia classic 50cc with a rear speedway wheel clutch and 5 speed gearbox at that time never ridden a manual bike so learned the hard way by breaking the gudgeon pin but certainly wasn't the end of the bike got her fixed up just coming up for my 17th birthday and then graduated once more to the racing pedigree of the aprilia RS125 2005 model and it was some bike I remember burning out my lightweight clutch with in a fortnight or so. I remember my aprilia dealership mechanic saying that must be a record and I should put the clutch plates on my bedroom wall which I did. The RS125/250 had such a great chassis I mean that thing could corner like a fly as I found out taking a blind right hand which seemed to appear from no where I thought that was the end of me going roughly 90Mph that month I had been learning to get my knee down through corners I tipped the screaming 2T left buttock hanging on to the saddle with my knee down which I rarely do on the road that bike was special saved my life it probably helped having freshly warn in new Pirelli's I was only 17 and under 5-5" in height but therefore after I gained confidence in the bike and felt like I could literally throw it into and corner without fail upside-down telescopic forks. Nearly 30years of pedigree evolution in that wonderful chassis and it proved its point often beating restricted 500cc's on windy roads that was a very common occurrence even sometimes beating boyracers 1.2liter tuned haha "supposedly" you know the type anyway that bike won many sprints at the lights also completely flabbergasting boyracers with there cheap tacky body kits and enduction kits cheap exhaust with a bore on it bigger than a football. RIP my darling RS125 I sure do miss you. aprilia's are still my choice of lightweight 2T bikes. Apologies for my little err long story hope you enjoyed and maybe reply if you have had similar experiences.

[@yamhonbiker1484]

Thank you from Australia very good.

[@derekbond3512]

Just superb, many thanks.

[@dtiom]

That sounds lovely, the sound track would make a perfect ring tone - a 20 minute long ring tone :) and I want my Mille back, biggest mistake ever selling it :(

[@Topper_Harley68]

The only thing I did not like about that bike was the price of the parts.

[@ryanbyrd3835]

Pushin' it on that pavement. Looks dicey. Big ol' cajones on these guys.

[@UnrestrictedIsle]

No doubt!

[@thatdude5477]

Stå på Erik! Utrolig gøy å se nordmenn som tør!!😎

[@33Riff-Raff]

Hi Erik. What mods have you done to get one of these ready for. The mountain course?

[@happydays1165]

That noise 👌🏻

[@pholloway999]

Love my Mille had one in 2002 sold it in 2005 just bought another 2002 and still just as good ❤️

[@geminiman7069]

Same here. Had one 3 years ago, two bikes 3 years later traded it for another 2003 Mille in Bristol, rode it home 120miles last Saturday. I was secretly looking for 3 years while riding round on those really. I'm back in the game too mate!!

[@tristanader6928]

Just bought an 03 😅 after having a 02 and 05 for 8 years - not had one for 2 years so I’m back in the game too lol

[@NudaMan]

That’s crazy I just bought a 2003 Mille with only 1,905 miles on the clock (I work at a Aprilia dealer so I got it for a steallll)

[@rhyscallister9085]

Great video!

[@reasonsvoice8554]

Very underrated bike fucking love mine don't think I'll be able to bring myself to sell it don't tell the Mrs tho

[@Mindsetcoach007]

Dont lol. Every 1 who sells it regrets it..😭 ive got a 2001 mille for £1200 last yr..im keeping her just as a show piece if i ever stop riding the queen bitch 😍🤩

[@motorcyclegarage2307]

My - That Millie is fast - do you know what the Sulby trap was?

[@UnrestrictedIsle]

164 I think

[@wales2wheeler686]

Thanks for this.

[@nicholasparry6987]

Sounds great!! :)

[@kenzie544]

Good video what camera are you using

[@UnrestrictedIsle]

This is a GoPro Hero 5 Black

[@andylau8962]

well done

[@davidemauro5705]

Lo sapevo che la Rsv non avrebbe deluso al Tourist Trophy, vorrei tanto che fosse un pilota italiano a vincere il TT con la Rsv4 🇮🇹

[@speedpower2740]

3:17 So a Mille is faster in a straight line than an R6 after all

[@UnrestrictedIsle]

I’d say so! Erik also has better exit speed from ballagarey 😁

[@edeciocastillo7089]

I don’t think is a r6 for the tail looks like a r1

[@Harro99]

@@edeciocastillo7089 it's an r6, if you listen carefully you can hear the engine.

[@romanoguttadauro9563]

Forza Aprillia

[@noelkeenan3364]

Iv had both a 2 cylinder can not Compete other a 4 cylinder they don’t have the legs

[@zsoltcsaplar8054]

Tis is it!

[@sheffun1ted]

Flying machine. Quite damp on the tops. Too nice a bike to throw away

[@SV-lp4oy]

[@flyfisherman3649]

Little to conservative. Wonder what the riders who passed him were riding.
