LTL is going to mess himself....

MV to race AMA Superbike....

from Soup! Soup :: Bombshell: Ferracci & MV To Race US Superbike In '07! :: 11-03-2006

Anyone think that this pairing will produce the results that we saw in the 80's 90's when he ran Ducati's?

My g/f is pretty stoked about it too. She's hoping there'll be more aftermarket stuff for the Brutale now.

The real bummer about it is that it is being done by Feracci. I'd put them on the level of Erion rather than a high level like Yosh where they make the stuff readily available AND support it.

Crash, that's been rumored for a while, nice to see confirmation though.

Yeah, Eraldo is a second rate hack, who is just trying to recapture the glory days when Doug Polen, Raymond Roche and Pascal Picotte and Troy Corser ruled the roost on Fast By Ferracci Ducatis.

Didn't MV win some races in the British Superbike? It would be nice to see some new blood in the races.

I didn't say that.

I said he's really really bad at serving mere mortals like you or I, just like Erion. Ergo, there probably won't be much trickle down from them to us. (Unlike Yosh)

That doesn't mean he can't build a good bike, it just means it won't help the rest of us MV owners much. What might help is more interest in the marque, but just like Duc guys, most of the MV people don't want to see the bike get cheaper or much more widely owned. They'd like to see MV sell just enough to stay in biz so they can maintain their exclusivity.

Do a look around some MV boards, Ferracci is pretty much universally hated and avoided like the plague.

He's so, like, 1991. Puhleese.

His shop has ripped off several people with phony dyno results, charging for work that was never done etc. He is pretty universally flamed on every forum I have read his name on.
