For 1999 the standard Mille carried on essentially unchanged, keeping its 128 hp V-twin, Showa front end and steel fuel tank. The year mattered more for the range than for this bike, as Aprilia added the Öhlins-equipped Mille R and the SP homologation special above it. The base model remained the comfortable, road-biased member of the family.
