well, as some of you may remeber, i was looking at a mv f4 1000 that was listed on ebay a few weeks back. the listing was odd in that the bike had only 106 miles on it. since it was located in san diego, i had a chance to check it out in person.
well, it was a legit deal. the bike really had only 106 miles on it. i even sent an email to cagiva-usa with the vin and they confirmed the purchase date, dealer (gp motors), and warranty coverage.
only one problem - the ebay listing showed the bike was a 2004, but cagiva told me it was a 2005!
well, a quick look at the title and yeah, it's a 2005. the ebay listing was incorrect.
so, now it's mine.
brought it home last night. wow. what a machine. if my r6 had feelings, it would be of deep envy, and jelousy.
it really needs some miles on it. the tranny is rough. kinda cluncky and notchy. but i'm sure after i get 600 miles on it, that it will be fine.
i don't have a lot of mods i plan to do, but i will be installing a phantom tracker. it's like a lojack system, but better. here's the web site with some more info on it: www.phantomtracking.com
i'm really looking forward to riding this absolutely stunning machine.
