suzook12 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 trouble with the italian bikes is that unless you are a bonafide racing snake, they are just too small, and can be very single purpose, like the 916, making them almost unrideable. The MV was never really aimed at people who were going to ride them, so may as well go the whole hog and get a bimota..... Kwak generally make better street bikes than the others, without going over the top...... H2R excluded of course.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MV was built around the gsxr750 engine. Which makes it an awesome machine in its own right. Who cares if early arthritis sets into your wrists??

Andy135 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 So, we've gone from deck lights to Ducati's then... give me strength! 🙄 What we need is an Admin to do a thread clean up.

suzook12 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 You would think, that something like an MV with all that racing pedigree would have a powerful motor in it tho instead of a girly 750, even the thou aint all that. You would think that they'd have stuck a busa lump in there and gave it a bit of a rework to find those extra ponies.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great for when you are back on the mooring etc, but you may need to fit some subdued lighting under the gunnels for when you are fishing etc .............

Have had plenty in the past though. a 60mph smack into the rear door of a Clio put an end to that hobby though. that’s when I moved over to boats.

Yes. Intended use for this one is before and after a trip out, and when I'm working on her on her service rack in the dark. Head torches for night fishing to avoid draining the House batt.
