wild - painful - sublime...... :wink:

the engine is wild, the seating postion painfull when "normal" riding is req'd and sublime when ridden in its element, ie on a twisting road that you dont worry about looking at the speedo :wink:
really? in the photos the MV seating position looks similar to the 10... but I guess its amazing what an inch here and there can do....
The world is round. It has no point.

The one MV I've swung my leg over was more stretched out than the 10, but also had the weirdest shaped seat I've sat on...maybe italians have different shaped arses to me :roll:

Very nice Phil - that 10 is almost as dirty as my 9 :D

So is an upgrade coming soon? or is your 9 safe?

If you have no fear, you're not going fast enough.
Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, then beat you with experience.

chalk and cheese, check out the current issue of amcn with the measurements in it, the MV is *completely* different to the jappers

Top stuff Phil.

I am in love with that new Ten. Ever been stuck with a woman you really weren't all that keen on, whilst the one you really wanted was just out of your reach....?

Based on your day of fun Phil, which of the bikes would seem to make the best trackbike? And are you going to get a chance to test them at a track?

i stand by what i have said in the past....the 9 is the best god dam *road bike* ever.

under 6K i reckon my nine would have them all except the zook.....above that, well i wouldnt even bother starting the engine. BUT in the real world you cant use them in the intended range without either A going to gaol or B going to the track. i dont intend going to gaol and I have the mono for track duties.

the fact i have not got $20K lying around is irrelivant

nah, they did the track bit with alex gobert, it was only a small bit as he's off the master bike VERY shortly.

best track bike - hard call, the MV probably would if you could get past the price tag :wink: the 10 and R1 feel very similar and the zook is just sooo easy to ride, in this company the honda sucked IMHO

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

Phill it probably takes a little while to get comfy on a proper sports bike but screw up the damper and take the weight off your wrists. :D

They may require the aftermarket sheepskin seatcovers as well. :D

And retractable gonads. :shock:

lucky bastard. 8)
If I rode my bike at the speed of light, what would happen when I switched on its headlights?
