My gawd - so he's spent a fortune on an MV, now spending another fortune replacing almost every single part.
Geez
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.

Its usually the slow guys that go and spend that sorta money, in the hope it makes em' faster.

Hard to tell though if they're slow cos they're just slow, or if it's cos they've spend $200000 on a machine and are shit-scared to bin it.
Then again - GPXTim spent a small fortune on his too and you wouldn't know it to ride with him ;)

If you spent that kinda money would you want to push it hard - just in case?

I'd rather spend the cash getting a big bore kit, high lift cam, big bucket valves, have the head gas flowed, polished and ported. K&Ns and a stage 3 dynojet. Maybe full exhaust system rather than slip on can, and have it mapped accordingly. Throw on some decent shocks and if there's enough left have the diemag wheels (lowering the unsprung weight is a good thing).

Leave it looking average, makes people wonder why the lost 8)

add some braided lines, and your done. Far better to spend it on stuff that actually works and improves performance/handling, than making it look nice....... :roll: , will imho anyway....
