    Man if they could fix a lot of internal issues, the bikes are fucking great!!!

    Being a dealer is a pain in my ass!

    Ducshop in Marietta is now a dealer. Ask for Mark. Tell him Stan sent you. (I’m part-owner at Ducshop)

    My local moto repair shop (not mv dealer) has a nice Senna on the floor. Consignment it seems. So choice.

    From what I have seen watching youtubes on driving in Russia. Most of the drivers are batshit blind and drunk. Or both. Unbelievable how bad they drive.

    cha0s#242 Ignorance and prejudice and fear walk hand in hand

    All their ridiculous special editions lose a shitton of value as soon as they exit the dealership. I saw a used one on a showroom floor that was initially worth $60 000 being advertised for $23 000 with 2000 kms on it lol. But I must admit that black and gold looks bitchin'.
     
  12. Looks exactly like every MV F4 for the past 20 years, except painted black and with uglyass wheels.
     
  13. What am I missing? What is so good about that deal?

    It is gone now, but it was an almost 5 year old bike, selling for almost $9,000. Hell, you can get a brand new ZX6R for damn near that price.

    they were brand new. and Kawis are made out of melted down children's plastic toys... so there's that. and they don't look like a bag of dicks, so there's also that. may some BMW headlights be thrust upon thy house!

    Yeah, they've been looking gorgeous for 20 years. Why should they mess with it?
     
  16. I will admit they were beautiful when they came out 20 years ago, especially compared to everything else. Back then, motorcycles looked like glued together boxes on a set of wheels. The MV actually looked like art.

    But fuck. At some point you should consider coming out with some new shit.

    Ducati has made multiple different gorgeous bikes over the 20 years the MV has looked the fucking same. Its like the damn "one hit wonder" of the motorcycle world. It was badass when it came out, but shit.

    I’ll give Broome and Papa one point each.

    Valid points on each account.

    Deduct one point from Mv for making the same shit for 10 years and still not having most stuff in stock.

    because you don't even change your own oil... i think its hard for you to fully appreciate all the little CNC machining of even the most minute stupid bracket or part that's buried under 3 other things so you hardly ever even see it on an MV that shows the attention to detail and quality that they operate under at the core of the company. lesser so in the more recent years, but still. i appreciate the craftsmanship of the thing in of itself. bike still looks the bee's knees irrelevant to that factoid. i guess porsches suck cause the shape has hardly changed in 50 years. aston martin should get rid of its grill shape...

    it ain't the lightest of its bunch ever, but its damn pretty. every time.

  19. They could still do every damn bit of that with a different body style.

    Nobody said you have to let your quality and/or attention to detail go to shit just because you changed styling.

    Of course a car from 20 years ago is going to have the same basic shape as a car now. Just like every truck is shaped like every other truck. They all have the same number of doors in the same location, the trunk or bed, etc. But they don’t look EXACTLY the same.

    Hell, MV hasn’t even moved or changed the exhaust.

    There is something to be said for living shit alone when it's right. And I'm just talking about the way they look, here. The quest for always changing stuff (again, just talking about the looks) is the reason abominations like modern GSXRs happen.

    Anyway, I don't even get the complaints. Thanks to them, there's stuff on the market for everyone. For people who love beautiful objects, and for people who want new stuff all the time.

    Ricky-Bobby, how many points for this?
