Heh, what a rip off that thing is.

I'd still love a Veltro though.

That bike is not priced for people who look at price tags.

I could see throwing down for the Duc GP bike. Arguably that's not a bad value.

But not for this one...

Is it just me that thinks that everytime the MV guys muck about with the paintwork they make it less attractive?

The original was stunning. Tidy, pure, beautiful. This just looks like a tarts handbag.

I think that paint is ugly.

For the specials, I like the Tamburini, I like the 07 "R", and the SPR is OK, the Senna tolerable, but this is ugly.

Re: Time for an upgrade, LTL
This is the Tamburini way. Slowly tweak the existing design.

Worked good for the 916 platform, and considering MVs are starting to do well in racing, it seems to work on the F4 too.

I think it's telling the 1098 stepped back towards the 916, and everyone likes it again...

I think that's more a reflection on how ugly the 999 is.

I know the 2 big Cs are for the model but take them away and I think the bike would be aboslutely perfect. I'd still have sex with it though.

In the Motorcycle Daily, third paragraph, it mentions that the frame has been improved, strengthening the seat mounting studs.

The new MV paint jobs remind me of the old black and white CBR1000F. The "regular" F4 1000 and the Brutale 910 are both the same color.

I know the Duc is ~60k. What's the price on this thing.

LTL is right. 60k is almost a bargain for that Duc.
