I've now got all the YB model Bimotas I want, also got an FZR400 SP, and an NC30.
I'm thinking of buying another bike, should I? Discuss!
PS. It's not anothor Bimota. _________________ Bimotas, Yamaha FZR 2TK, Honda NC30, MV Agusta F3 800, Aprilia RS250 |

Got to be the little MV! It is one of the few new bikes that would tempt me as well. _________________ Pomps

If it was the little MV you should have seen it race at the TT, came in about 7th on its first outing and everyone but everyone loved the open pipe sound, even the radio commentators would go quiet when it went passed the grandstand so everyone could listen to the sound !! |

I was watching on the ITV4 coverage... looks amazing, sounds better and is a proper little racebike. Love it. Might not be as easy to ride and have a few faults in the first year but sounds like they are getting them sorted. Shall we all get one Vort! _________________ Pomps

It is the MV
I watched it at the TT on the ITV coverage. I'm in Portugal and watched them in the supersport race, lovely. I get back next week and might be going to have a demo ride. They are supposed to be a bit tricky through town and slow speeds but great when they get going. It'll have to be red/silver in traditional colours. _________________ Bimotas, Yamaha FZR 2TK, Honda NC30, MV Agusta F3 800, Aprilia RS250 |

F3 800cc version would be just too good!
MV 675 or 800 (uber pretty) or Benelli - both lovely.

I think 8 is a good number, one for everyday of the week and a spare! When I sold one of the 851's the other week there was a miserable space in the garage, so I filled it.
