Carbon everything... ANd he's already bough shedloads more like the key surround, the exhaust covers on the side of the bike etc.. Basically, the only silver stuff left will be the titanium exhausts..

Not quite as visually stunning as the Benelli, but he's got a superb deal on this bike, which retails at over £16k... Baggsy 2nd go after him :lol:

[El Saxo]

:love:

'Nuff said.

[GregK2]

That's an absolute stunner, much better looking than the benelli IMO.

I want one!

[Jdubya]

Nice...

[Skip]

That is fappin' gorgeous! :shock: 8)

[kwak zzr]

That is fappin' gorgeous! :shock: 8)

=P~ =P~ =P~ want one :shock:

[Demonz]

Ace bike 8) - I hope you aren't tempted to borrow the keys when he is out...

[Jdubya]

There were quite a few nice ones on display at the MCN show as well...they really are nice. I'm looking forward to seeing them racing on the BSB circuits this year... :D

[Grinch]

That is fappin' gorgeous! :shock: 8)

=P~ =P~ =P~ want one :shock:

I'm not sure I could, bloody uncomfortable to sit on. Looks lovely though.

[Cloggsy]

Obviously too much money :roll:

I'm not at all jealous :smt016

Think the one above was actually on show for RedDogs stand. He's not picked it up yet and has allowed him to show it (might still be in the showroom, but will be at a show).

Thing is, with the money he's going to get (silly amounts with his injuries, loss of earnings etc), he may even buy a Benelli as well, so thats me sorted for the weekend rides :lol: Him on the MV, me on his Benelli :lol: Im trying to perswade him still :lol:

I don't live with him, got my own place so can't "borrow" the keys :lol:

[K]

Meh, I prefer the Benelli.

I just don't like the lines of the MV, or the tank, the slab of a fairing, it's midsection, or the headlights...

... I love the exhaust...

... just not on that bike.

Everything seems just ever-so-slightly mismatched or out of place. :?


Technically, or ride-wise, it may well be the bee's knees, the dog's danglies or any other animal's parts - but to look at, it just doesn't do it for me.

[Daimo]

You know what, i totally agree... MV is ok, but i don't think its "special" like the Benelli. In fact, i think the Benelli is one of my favourite visual bikes ever now (new 1130cc model has put green at the top and silver at the bottom, it just doesn't look right). Everything matches, triangle footpegs, lights, mirrors, frame etc etc.. Its stunning.

He wanted to get the white + red MV, but I said it looked really chavvy IMO and i've not seen a dark one yet. As it happens, he got a bargin on the dark one anyway :lol:

[kwak zzr]

I love the MV, looks to me that everything is where it should be :wink:

Bah, perhaps your eyes are wonky - or maybe too close together or something. :P

He just wants one to clean and look at!

lovely bike, I love the exhausts and single sided swingarm.
