Title: I Finally Have Seen One. MV Agusta.
Post by: Tom H on October 19, 2016, 09:57:36 PM
Never seen one before. It was an F4. Tiny and compact little bike for a 1000cc (I think). Nice if you into the little canyon bikes. Should have shot a pic, but was in a hurry.

So they do exist on the west coast!

I see mine everyday when I open the garage and hop in the car :grin:.  Actually found it to be on the larger side of the sport bike spectrum and is one reason I chose over others so as to fit my over 6' frame. For really compact try out an Aprilia RSV4

There is a guy that rides a Senna Edition F4 to the Guzzi breakfast sometimes. What a beautiful motorcycle!

I used to get a Brutal 800 for a loaner when I was having my Stelvio serviced at Newport Italian.  That is one hell of a bike!!!

I see a lot of bikes go zipping by on the freeway, can't always make out what they are. Once they are close enough the center divider makes them hard to see.

This one was in a parking lot next to my EV Touring, maybe that's why it looked so small.

Maybe I need to get up to The Rock Store again? :undecided:

My favourite bike shop gave up a Honda dealership for MV this year, super nice bikes, my missus is hinting she'd like one. Seen here trying one for size with the old T3 sneaking in the pic (https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kocHUKCXabg/V5T_Om4tEpI/AAAAAAAAJEA/YDoP9weXntMvBWEcVRMn8OXtKhnvZZLsgCLcB/s1600/a1.JPG)

Compared to an EV it would look small and they certainly are not large by any stretch. I have a 6'5" friend who rides mine at times and although it`s not roomy he does enjoy riding it for 30 minutes or so without in crying out in pain. Truthfully most Sportbikes are good for an hour before it`s time to get off and drink a coffee or water.

Mine was an SR which had the SPR motor but my rear wheel looked different than yours. Are those Marchesini ?

They're the standard star wheels of the first generation, originally painted grey, but a previous owner went bonkers at the chrome shop and chromed about a third of the bike including the rims.

They got the name right!  I'm really enjoying mine, but the 1200Sport is better suited for backroads at semi respectable speeds.
