    I love MV's, but that is simply horrible. Just makes me want to yawn.

    I sure hope somebody here buys one and can suggest new tires. Those look dangerous.

    Since nobody will like them maybe the dealers will drop the prices. I figure aboot 1500 pesos ought to get one OTD.

    High degree of air brushing or photoshop on those tires.

    The greatest motorcycle designs have already been done. This is definitely a reach in the wrong direction for MV who have given us some of the best looking bikes in the past.

    MV Agusta have been building bikes since 1944. Their main biz was the Bell Helicopter franchise. They kept building bikes because Count Agusta liked bikes. World GP champs for years with Agostini aboard.

    Damn, it looks like the world didn't just begin when most of the peanut gallery were just peanuts.

    This is not a plug for MV Agusta or worn oot tires that have been photoshopped.

    Don't forget that Mike the Bike rode for MV also. I actually got to see Agostini ride the 350 and 500 MV in the German Grand Prix in 1968. I missed seeing Hailwood on the 250 cc six cylinder Honda by a year. I did talk to some guys that saw it run, said it was an incredible sound.

    Everybody is focusing on MV Agusta when it really Zagato that designed the "looks". Zagato has designed cars for just about every high end car manufacturer.

    Another review:
    But that bodywork sure is different, eh? It's red and silver, as is traditional for MV Agusta machinery, but past that it looks absolutely nothing like any MV Agusta we've ever seen before. That's because it was designed in partnership with Milan-based design house Zagato, which is better known for its enviously beautiful four-wheeled vehicles. Is the end result good? Bad? We're not sure, so let's settle for now on "different.""

    I forget a whole bunch of stuff like most of what is said aboot styling from the peanut gallery. Zagato like any other outfit has come up with some winners and some not winners stylewise.

    One other that floats around is that Willy G.,had a hand in styling the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile..

    Honda brought one of the 250 six bangers to the Sacramento Mile one year in the 60's. They fired it up and Joe Leonard did a couple of laps on it. Yep,
    on the dirt..

    Hailwood also rode the old Willow Springs one year. Some say it was on the Honda.. The bike was a Manx Norton..

    I may start a small outfit that specializes in hip waders for the bike crowd..
