My word, its nice.....
The old MV is a bit timeless, like My Nelli, it still looks fresh today. The styling was well ahead of its time (IMO) and it was a fantastic loking bike.
We had a new MV in the shop the other day, a customer had already ordered it. My god, its stunning.
Not seen a mag picture that really shows its lines properly, but when you have the new and old MV sitting next to each other, well it makes the old one look REALLY old and dated. Even though they both look very similar, when put together, theres some huge differences.
Exhausts, far better than the old round ones. They just look better on the bike.
The dials, oh my word. Stunning. You would want to ride it at night just to see that stunning blue.
At £14.250, it really makes paying £12k for an R1 a bit lame. For a few extra k, you can have some styling, soul, passion, THOSE dials (with stupid amounts of settings).
So, who's ordering one. They wouldn't let me take it out for a test ride as it was a customers. Hoping if they get a demo bike I can take it for a bimble.
Also, did you know, the MV Brutale is one of the fastest motorcycles in the world (production) between 60-140mph. Another bonus for the nakeds being built today.

Some people arn't keen on the nake bike looks these days.
But realisically, they are so much faster on the public road than a sports bike.
I can ride my bandit much harder and with more confidence than I can the Nelli, even if its worse in every way (bar fuel  ).
They are both MV Augustas Ones the F4, the other is the Brutale.
MV are working on an 800cc triple as well

 Naughty bikes do it for me these days... used to prefer the sports bike looks, but prefer the ride of a more "sit up" bike.
Bottom picture is just screaming out to have it's front wheel pointing up high and held there

Stubs, that bike will easily hold the front wheel up as well
Steve, venoms  Yeah, if Venoms weigh bugger all, cost £2k, made of magenesium, and don't stick out, or actually look like venoms

Not going to knock it, they are a great motorcycle.
But if I had £14k to spend on a bike, i'd still be going to the MV.
MAtt, as an italian car owner, im ashamed that you think a 2001 Aprillia is hotter than this MV.
Until I saw it for real, i thought it looked too similar and nothing special over the old one. Pictures don't do it justice.

Im not sure tbh, anyone know?
Bet its the best part of £12k+
Lovely looking bike, esp in full white. The bigger engined model is meant to be a much better bike. They think (Never ridden myself) that its not got much umph mid-range, but who cares..

A mate of mine has just purchased an F4 and I must say it is the most sexual thing I have ever seen on two wheels

i mean the original RSV looks better than the current RSV, the MV August is better than both put together

I am determined to own an F4 one day. Amazingly engineered and just so sexy.
Daimo, have you seen the series on Discovery Turbo called "Twist the throttle"? If not, watch it, there was an episode all about the MV factory the other week.

MEGA with a different pipe, just like a slightly less fruity MotorGP bike. I've sat on a few RSV4's though and I just think they are too god damn small. Im not a large bloke but im not keen on tiny bikes. My friends R6 is the same, its like riding a 125, its tiny!! I like to have a little bit bigger of a bike with so much power to hand.

I love the look and the fact it's small.
I actually would do my bike test if I knew at the end I could have one, but for 14k it's far too much for something that doesn't have electric windows.
