So my first MV - 2012 F4R will be delivered in 3 days! Super excited! My question for some of you who have had or currently have a whole stable of these exotic bikes (gary behr) - Why MV?
As I said I'm really excited but in the past few weeks have read a few articles and watched some youtube vids which have made me wonder a bit about this particular bike and MV in general.
I've wanted an MV for years I think I first saw MV back in 2008 or 2009 on the show Twist the Throttle and have wanted one ever since.
Back to the articles and vids - mainly the ones I'm talking about are the shootouts between MV F4 and other superbikes where in particular the 2012 F4RR finished last - up against a ZX10R, a KTM, a BWW, a Duck and a Aprilla. There's another one where my F4R was pitted against 4-5 japanese bikes and it again finished last.
They track and road tested them - they drag tested them and also roll ons. Track times weren't near the top, the 1/4 mile vid showed a bike that was jumpy and jittery.
Oh forgot to mention I've never ridden an MV and only saw my first MV in real life a week or two ago. That stupid to buy a bike you've never seen in real life or ever ridden? lol
Not trying to get anyone pissed or anything just looking for reasons again Why MV? Is it the look mainly? The sound? The fact that they are rare? Just curious for some feedback from those of you who've owned other exotic brands. Thank you!
