Anyone own an MV Agusta?

[5v3d3b0]

Does anyone here own one, or know anyone who does?
They are SOOOOOO expensive! What are you really paying for?

[dodsi]

Thats like saying "what are you really paying for to own a ferrari/lamborghini etc"

[GearboxGeezer]

What does an MV have that any other modern litre bike doesn't?

A certain "style"

its an italian thing.

[tomkapsalis]

Its not a style it's a bade. It's the brand name that costs you money.

Its the 'exoticness' that counts. Go to a race meet, 50% GSXR, 35% YZF, 10% CBR, 3.8% random Jap, 1% Ducati, 0.1% obscure brit and finally, 0.1% exotic*.

I would say in the main that its the whole owning something different and expensive part that make most of the sales, same reason I'd buy a Bimota.














*totally made up random crap.**















**except the bit about GSXR, especially if they are blue/white.

The frame is better, the suspension is miles better, the brakes are better, each of these improves the bike in it's own way, as a package they add up to a whole lot more that the jap bikes. And of course the design is distinctive and unusual. Personally I wouldn't pay that much extra for these improvements, but many would.

A friend of mine is an MV dealer, so I could say yes, I know someone that owns one, but infact he owns 4 at the moment

In all honesty, he thinks that the Tornado is a better bike on the road as it's a bit less sensative to the road surface.

isnt the mv engine just a tarted up k2 gsxr 1000 engine?
guy at work has an f4 and it looks nice and sounds good.
but on the road its down on performance on a k5 gsxr and a lightly modded 05 r1.
pehaps with better riders and a good track the mv might show some class.
but with normal people its just expensive
