Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

As some know, my old mans into his bikes, his previous was a Benelli Tornado, someone hit him, knocked him off, broke his leg in 20 places. He bought his new toy, and while he's been unable to walk, has been buying and fitting lots of carbon fibre, new seats, fancy bits....

Not in the cleanest state, he's still yet to use the clay bar i bought him. He's just done about 700 miles on it, and already lost all the chicken strips (bar about 2mm :lol: ). Fruitcake...

When he got it, no carbon at all...

Dribble, Drool!
That is beautiful :cool:

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

:smt060 I want one :mad:

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

me really want your dads bike!

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

That is a good looking bike! Can your dad take mine for a spin and loose my chicken strips? :-)

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

Tut tut, its not used very often you say? Thats bad for the engine.

Give it to me, I'll ride it for 4 hours every day, get it nice and warm and well used.

:king:

I agree with Matt, We could do a tag team? 12 hrs each?

edit, I don't expect much payment, just fuel food and points paid for will do. bargain

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

I dunno, riding an MV for 12 hours straight? That'll do odd and unholy things to my posture :smt031

But, its a good idea...how about 6 hours, then change?

:D

Matt

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

well if your that worried about doing 12 hours i will step in, i don't like to see a fellow bike in trouble:p

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

Cracking Looking bike! I bet you hear Angelic Music when it gets wheeled out into the sunlight!!
ALSO, Your MX5 registration is showing on one pic.
Claybars are great aren't they? I've used a Zymol one on my car and the difference was amazing. Of course a proper wax afterwards is needed!
But anyways, Nice bike, bet it sounds lovely too!

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

Fap, Fap, Fap... :D

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

Are you doing what I imagine you are doing? :sick:

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

Ask if he wants to trade with your thou!....

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

I'll do it for you mate... :evil:

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

Cover your eyes, dear.

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

Thats stunning has he let you ride ;)

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

There we go, an endurance team set up to ride bikes people dont have time to ride :D

Matt

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

but of course we must uphold the law and put a 33bhp kit on it:smt041

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

You're assuming it will work for 12 hours! :cool:

Nice bike, not the best colour though. Red is my fave!

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

I think I've just done a sex wee! That is amazing, I'd almost consider p/x'ing the sv fo rone of those! Much nicer than any Ducati IMHO.

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

What a piece of junk. I wouldnt hand that to the local teenagers to blast around the green lane areas on.




















Haaaaaaa...I lied.Very nice.:p

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

motorcycle porn rite there! :cool:

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

Not let me ride it yet, but its his new toy so i'd best let him get used to it ha ha. I wanted to ride the Benelli till it went to bikers heaven. But, he may be buying another one, but an LE version (Radial brakes, better shoxs etc), so keeping fingers crossed for that one :lol:

Its heavier than I thought though, much heavier than the 1098 duke, heavier than my old SV, but definatly lighter than the bandit.

Pegs are too high for me too, trouble getting my toes to the gear lever, rear brake is fine though? Probably my feet :lol:

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

Anychance of you doing a video of it riding past, and or idling and then being rev'd?
Would love to hear it!

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

That is one cracking machine, I WANT ONE!

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

They sound like any four cyl on the throttle...

...but like a twin on the overrun

Well, the superstock racebikes do anyway :D

Matt

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

I'll give you 2 gran for it and take your old geezer for lunch. Tawk to meh

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

I love the F4, but since getting the opportunity to ride one I know I'll never own one, it's just too damned uncomfortable !

However, in my opinion, it's still the bestest looking bike ever, especially the new blue/silver scheme. If you get a chance to look at one close up, check out some of the detailing on things like the foot peg hangers etc, the work is fantastic. But that's why they cost around £14k I guess ;)


Someday you'll post something worth reading.... (actually, you probably won't)

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

Funny to see this post tonight, was drooling over one in West Coast (MV Dealership) in Irvine just 2 1/2 hours ago. Decided I'd need two, one to ride and one to display in my living room. Need your Dad's bank account first mind!!

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

Just read the UK magazine SUPERBIKE, think July/August edition , we get it a bit late over here in NZ. BUT, it had a review of the 1098s and the MV F4 ??

Both bikes got very good reviews. Think the overall winner though is the Ducati. Probably becuase it is BRAND NEW, and the MV has been around for a couple of years.

Both look absolutley horny though!

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

If your old man decides to sell let me know in plenty of time so I can get the house on the market ready to sell to get the funds! Aboslutely sextastic!

Re: Dads MV, finally see's daylight...
 

I've not ridden it yet tbh, but from sitting on it Vs a 1098, the 1098 is SO much smaller its untrue. TBH I thought the MV seemed quite bulky and heavy, need a ride to see if its lighter on the road.

It looks like it might be being sold already though. After all the accidents his had in his life, it seems that his body is starting to give up. It really hurts his shoulders due to the screen. Told him to go for a smaller screen to start with but he can't sell it with only 700 bloody miles on the clock. Give it to me i'll hack it into london every day :lol: Already offered him a few grand and my unbearing love, it got me no-where. Currently he's looking at a Cafe_Racer Benelli. Very nice bikes also. Got the chance to ride one of the 1100cc Benellis the other day, so much torque, so much growl, but not amazingly quick top end of the revs. Still a stunning machine.
