That does look good Lamie, and although that standard pipe looks like a work of art you need to get a straight though one fitted as the 675 one's at the TT sounded GREAT !!!!
We expect a full ride report in the next few weeks !! |

I did think about a DB5 or DB6, and even a Vdue. I've wanted a Triumph 675 for a while, and when the MV with three cylinders, Italian styling (even tho it was designed by a brit), and specification came along I was hooked.
350miles so far, it's like a rocket ship. I've never ridden a bike with quick shift and slipper clutch, but now I like it. I still like all my bikes for different reasons so the MV is a 'different' addition to normal. _________________ Bimotas, Yamaha FZR 2TK, Honda NC30, MV Agusta F3 800, Aprilia RS250 |

Cheers for the invite to the castle Lammie...looks FUN...I am assuming though that baby oil and wedish Nymphos are included?? Oh Er Mrs....
I'd love a MV Agusta but t'other half has a 750F4 S single seater...and t'wud be like admitting its better than Bimota..so that ones out I'm afraid....have many happy miles on her, girlie has done 25,000 on hers with lets say "minimal" maintenance..... |

Bimotas went to Manchester show again, a good time was had by all.
Practical sportsbike magazine did an article on Bimota ownership and did a six page spread. It was the first time I'd actually got all my Bimotas in the same place at the same time!
I lent my petrol tank to the Bimota race team for the Classic race on their YB6.
Bimota YB9 had a fueling issue. It would drop a cylinder at lower revs. A jet was blocked, carbs off, cleaned, replaced, and all's good.
MV is running well, rear footpegs removed and single seat cowl fitted.
what else.....
oh I bought another bike. (that makes it 10!!!, when it arrives. It's on a slow boat from Japan)
Aprilia RS250 - 2.5k miles, original everything A 2 stroke, I've ordered some Motul 2T 710 oil, as I've been told it smells the best. _________________ Bimotas, Yamaha FZR 2TK, Honda NC30, MV Agusta F3 800, Aprilia RS250 |
