Here's some more pics and the press release about the '04 Mille.

maybe the airtake is very Sp2 ish but the rest of the bike more than makes up for it in my opinion... i wonder what the retail price will be?

and what about the EXTRA tricked up 'Factory' edition?!? RSV-R just doesn't cut the mustard in 2004. Maybe Simon would donate his machine to one of us (um..maybe a bikeless one) as he upgrades?

I could use the same line on the 04 Mille as I would on a fine woman: "nice ass!" - and not receive a slap, even!

Cold cereal indeed !, turncoat

But the 999 isn't as gorgeous as the 996 !

Interesting stuff about the mille. 25mm lower (like that), front and tail ...don't like. As for the engine; it still has the same top speedish despite being lower,slimmer, and making more power.....and it's max revs are now 11,000 instead of 10,500, but peak power comes in at 9,500.....so why raise the rev limit?

Also the factory is just taking the place of the R...the 2003 RSVR has radial brakes, but the 2004 RSVR doesn't....only the factory version...so they've just rebranded, cos the factory also gets the OZ wheels and carbon fibre a the R used to have. I may have to hang onto mine for a little longer.....maybe even till I learn to ride it properly
