The Edwards Replica was a 2003 Mille R in a livery inspired by the RS Cube MotoGP bike ridden by Colin Edwards, black with orange and rainbow-stripe graphics. Underneath it was the Öhlins-equipped, forged-wheel Mille R, supplied with a race kit (titanium Akrapovič exhausts, a higher-pressure airbox, a revised injection chip and throttle bodies enlarged to 57 mm) that was not road-legal.
