So does my 195 hp MV Agusta F4 1000 R. What's your point? Do you own a BMW RR1000?

Nope.... I sure don't. The point of the post was to point out how utterly redundant this entire thread is," Oooo my Porsche is faster than your M3!" and vice versa......... stupid, 2 completely different cars that serve 2 completely different masters, for 2 completely different purposes. Who really cares? I get thumbs ups from Porsche drivers, just the same as they get thumbs up from me. Both are awesome autobiles in their own rights.

Inflating numbers to look impressive on an internet forum is just hilarious. That bike does not make anything over 174HP at the crank.Not only that it can't cold a candle to the new BMW S1000RR in handling,brakes and acceleration.The beemer is in a league of it's own in the inline 4 category. But gotta give you credit,you got the ideal poser bike, |

Ideal poser bike? Typical comment on this board of hate. I didn't buy it to impress anyone. I was replacing my Ducati and always found it very cool. I knew if I bought it I would not need to do much to it. I did't feel like sinking more money into bike as I did with my Ducati. But wouldn't you know it had a nasty torque stumble right at the start of the midrange (very annoying). The race exhaust system and ECU cleared it up. Sounds like a F1 car now. I would like to ride the BMW. BMW has a very good military buying program. If I lived in Germany I'd have one.

Don't let what happens in America make you blind to the rest of the world. MV is a very serious bike. It's an evolution like Ducati. And many people race them in Europe, especially Italy. If the Aprilia was out when I was shopping, it's the bike I'd have. But I enjoy my MV. It's quite different from most inline 4s in terms of sound and power delivery. I don't ride around thinking it's the king of the road. But it's damn powerful.

MV:
2006 Italian Superstock Champion 2008 Italian Superbike Champion They also did quite well in World Superstock in 2008. As I recall a crash while leading at Brno kept them from taking the championship. Superstock is more of an indicator of a bike's actual performance than classes which allow wholesale changes of componentry. But ultimately they don't have/put the money into racing as others do. It's as simple as that. Generally speaking, rules have a lot to do with whether manufacturers participate in racing programs. Rules can decide competitiveness. A great example is the throttle body size racing governing bodies levied on Ducati for the 748 in Supersport. With the throttle body restriction, the bike was uncompetitive despite the larger displacement. You have your mind made up so no point discussing any further. Cheers!

Quoting those two champinships is laughable dude.NOBODY gives a shit about the Italian superstock championships,but maybe some italians and bench racer like you.Are you serious?
The truth of the matter is MV can not compete with other bike manufacturers from around the world.The japanese bikes will dismantle them and so will the new Italian bikes.Lets not start making excuses about throttle bodies.They can easily make whats required to enter competition.But they know better. Lets see... AMA Racing..No MV WSBK Racing...No MV Moto GP...No MV Serious race bikes bike manufacturers do not shy away from world class racing and their competitors. What do they call their bikes again? Motorcycle Art? Give me fuckin break.No serious biker is paying 20K for a bike that does not perform to the level of of at least the much cheaper Japanese makes.And sales reflect that year in and year out.They have sold the damn company how many times because of financial troubles.They have to understand that in order to sell bikes,they have to make bikes that are on per with the Japanese,go out there race them and beat them.Maybe then they can sell a few bikes. Motorcycle art=Poser or getting passed lap after lap at the track. |

Racing and winning=big boost in sales.It's been proven for decades and any competent CEO obviously knows this.What part of that is not valid?
Getting bailed out by Harley Davidson indicates their ability to sell bikes.These are not $50K bikes were talking here,they are $20K bikes that other Italian manufacturers sell successfully, because they RACE around the world,not just Italy,and generate huge interest along with sells. As far as the age thing..You should make new thread complaining about not being able to see peoples ages.Maybe the mods will give in and show you some love. |

I like threads that wander a bit. Luckily the mods are very loose on letting threads wander. However, the motocycle debate here is getting really far off in to left field. Might I suggest the Off Topic section of the forum?

I said this in another thread, I'd much rather have a CBR1000RR or a 1198 then a S1k, simply because the S1K looks hideous and has aesthetically incorrect headlights.
