I'm a new member on this board, I've been searching for a good forum on MVs, and this is by far the best I've seen yet, and I hope it grows and grows.
I wasn't going to join, but the sheer friendliness displayed actually wanting new people to join is fantastic! Especially one post about people without MVs, who want one.
I, sadly am one of those people. I'm in love with the SPR, and there is one new one left at a shop near where I work. Apparrently it is one of 2 new ones left in Australia. It's too bad I don't have the money, or I'd buy it, even without a license. You see I haven't even got a license, nor started riding, I've a long way to go. By the time I come to upgrade to an MV there won't be an SPR left new, but it shouldn't be that big of a deal, I'll probably enjoy the easier riding of the 1000 over the more race-oriented 750 in the SPR, and the red and silver is still very very sexy, not to mention less worrying about ruining a special edition if something went wrong.
I'm a guy who likes stock performance bikes. The R1, I love it in stock form, the undertail exhaust fits, unlike aftermarket cans, I like the "stuck on to make it road legal" look of the indicators on it, etc, etc. The same goes for the MV, but it is more refined anyway. I don't see a point in upgrading brake levers, etc, even if it gives better braking, I probably won't use the stock hardware to its extremes, but I'll enjoy myself. Not to mention that I've noticed I can do more with less than most people.
I've noticed this forum doesn't have the bitching, elitist attitude that a lot of forums do, and I hope it stays that way!
I look forward to learning more on MV, and hopefully one day being able to park one outside at work, on the days that the Fatboy or 69 Mustang sportsroof isn't there. (gotta work on those dreams too)
Cheers,
Brad
