The 2000 Mille was the final year of the original design before the 2001 update reshaped the tank and bodywork. Mechanically it stayed with the 128 hp twin, Showa fork and Sachs shock, making it the cheapest way into the Mille range. It is the most road-friendly of the early bikes, with a dual seat and a usable fuel range.
