Philfingers- 8 is a good number . I used to have a zxr750h2 in red. I've got the seat cowl if you want it. Also got a ZXR750J standard exhaust.
It's proving tricky to get a reply from the dealers about the MV. I've sent emails asking for a cash price but nobody has replied. Maybe they don't want to sell me one? _________________ Bimotas, Yamaha FZR 2TK, Honda NC30, MV Agusta F3 800, Aprilia RS250 |

Ring them up - they'll answer the phone but read emails first then maybe reply ... _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

Yeah, I'm in Portugal at the moment so will ring around when I get back. Also plan on visiting a dealer with a demo bike and try it out. Tbh I think I want one anyway*

Hi
One for every day of the month is possibly about right.
All the best

I reckon I've changed my mind.
I've moved onto the F3 800! Asked for a test drive and delivery _________________ Bimotas, Yamaha FZR 2TK, Honda NC30, MV Agusta F3 800, Aprilia RS250 |

Holy fook... that's the sexiest thing i've seen in a while! I'm guessing the factory purposely left some bits off for the photo's? No pillion pegs, no mirrors, no indicators.

I can't wait for the call to say it's time to collect it. I've never ridden a bike with traction control, or slipper clutch/engine maps/quick shifter/etc.. it'll be a new experience. I've read that the throttle could do with a bit more resistance, it's a drive-by-wire system rather than a cable.
Here's an image with the mirrors, indicators, and pillion pegs fitted.
