Lol that pillion seat must be about 5cm wide! Strange looking one. Lovely looking bike though. Don't Ducatis these days have similar looking dashes though (since it was being commented on)?

I have a feeling they might if you tipped up on your benelli.

Well, I won the euromillions.....but it was only £6.20!

Looks like I'll be keeping the SV for a bit longer!

I think if I had unlimited funds, one of these would definitely be on my 'to buy' list!

It is a small pillion seat, wonder if you could screw a top box to it?

It looks sharper / more angular than the original, which was very pretty but very heavy. Everything has been on a diet too. Aparently not as hard on the body as the older bikes. My Brutale was just that, brutal on my arms/back and legs!!! it was the most fun I have ever had on a motorcycle though.

Agree on the prices thing, why pay all that for an R1 when 3-4 years ago they only cost 9 Grand new and the MV has come down to almost match their price

Please, please, please spell the name correctly - it is MV Agusta, not Augusta

the MV's all look good!! My local dealer has had a few through along the benelli's and i personally think there some of the nicest bikes in production.
Realistically a ducatti 749 is what i would have (i am prepared for the pebble dashing)

It is really fast !!! So fast the throttle stays pinned back and accelerates from 100 when should be braking to 50 !! See this weeks MCN test ride ! I would still love to win the lottery to afford one though.
