alternative big European twins - SV650.org

Afternoon all. Welcome to the foothills of the weekend.
Has anyone gotten a chance to ride or even have a good look over either the Motor Morini Corsaro series or the MZ 1000 S/SF v-twins?
Both look like very interesting alternatives to the more usual big twin choice of Ducatis, Aprilias or SV1000s. They would both appear to be kitted out with top-end components to manage the whole suspension and braking departments aswel, which never hurts the branding appeal.
I particularily like the fighter style of of the MZ 1000 SF.

MZ 1000 SF (Eur8999/Stg7130)

The Moto Morini looks stunning. There was on at the Ace a few weeks ago.

And don't forget the Benelli triples. The TNT looks cool!

Bike p0rn.

I'd be looking for one now if a) they weren't Italian b) could find spares for them c) I wasn't currently dribbling in the general direction of a 955i daytona and d) if I could find one, anywhere!

I prefer the looks of the normal Raptor, i don't think finding spares is too difficult, TL engine so plenty of spares for that, switchgear seems to be straigh from suzuki as well, Brembo brakes so spares shouldn't be a probelm there either as loads of other bikes use the same parts i.e rear brake master cylinder is the same on some Ducatis.
The Daytona 955i now you're talking

superb bike, fanatstic engine and a single sided swing arm

: cool:

excuse me, how many weeks to find a chain and not an original raptor chain just one that will cut to fit.
