I seen it but not to the end, he loved it. I loved it, even tried to buy an F4 312R in July, came up at 4k from Copart as a finance snatchback- was a black one mmmmmm.

Telling you though, my Benelli despite its issues at first is still the best bike i’ve ever ridden. If you get chance- get your leg over one and enjoy.
F4’s are very very similar but quicker.
Apparently the engine in the MV is very aggressive... Wouldn't mind a spin on one

Would still like a ride on a Benelli Tornado too

Sisters fella is an avid biker, track days etc etc 550bhp bmw 1 series.
Bought an MV F3, rode it 4miles, threw up and sold it.
Said it was the most frightening bike he’s ever ridden. Frightening in terms of sheer instant speed and phenomenal handling. Rode it on the M6/winwick/m62 link way and papped himself.

Bought a much tamer RnineT to get over it.
My Brutale RR was very much the same, would wheelie and power slide in every gear upto 4th riding over crumbs on the roads- scary.

A Panigale v4 might not be the ideal choice then, lol... They sound like they're going to be a (beautiful) weapon

Ahh to be a millionaire, would need a big garage!

If I win the euro Friday you can take your pick out of any bike in this thread boys
My V4 panigale will probably ride itself lol
ABS, Map selection and traction control and active suspension so I wouldn’t expect to be too scared of it.

Does it have launch control? Seen a fair few new sports bikes with it now- i’m sure i read somewhere that in a car your clutch is ruined after a few goes, beggars belief why it is even a thing.

Looks like I got in just in time to keep the daily advent bike treat going, only a few more days left!

I thought I'd better try and post something that isn't Italian.. Nearly went with a TL1000R as I used to crave one of those, but let's go with something I'd still really like a go on...Image
