OK. I have an idea. The first one to mention the MotorCompany in a non-MotorCompany related tread gets banned.

Fair enough ? (o_O ) ?

It looks like your insecurity is shining through here Steve. It is an insecure person that would try and build themself up by knocking others down.

Practically every comment on the MV somehow finds a way to bad mouth HD. This is small minded. Let’s ridicule the motor company for the entire global economic crisis..really not applicable to MV building a halo machine for a very small segment of RICH enthusiasts. If the new management can make this business model work, that’s good for the hobby. If not, then blame Harley again for selling their company too cheap to a company that builds bikes that the haters can not afford.

re: “Never could understand why Harley bought MV Agusta in the first place???”

it was a “sound” purchase however it happened on the back of false economy that wasn’t (ie. sound). if the bubble hadn’t burst, HD would be looking like geniuses right now for having diversified. did i mention the bubble burst…???

All too often the lowest common denominator in the human equation rises to the top, if only because the cream of the crop avoids that particular equation. Thus it shall be that BMW and the Japanese makes will outsell this bike and their respective owners will whine and moan about how much better and faster their chosen mounts are and all for less money.

To that I would proffer this suppostion. If you had the money, you would own the bike. For now, it merely owns you.

A bike such as this is not only about “bragging rights” but also about a passion for quality, a touch of originality and of course style.

To those mental eunuchs that belittle Harley-Davidson, keep this in mind, oh you of little mind. Sans HD’s money, it is likely that MV would have assumed room temperature. For those of you in Rio Linda, California, that means they would have gone out of business. Coupled with that fact is yet another that I would share with those of you so obviously amongst the extra-chromosome set.

What imagine to be your rapier-like wit, is nothing more than an emotional spasm. The flatulence of a pre-pubescent mind. In a word, you are idiots. Doubtless boy-racers that deem the public roads their personal racetrack.

I suspect that the majority of you ride like you type. Note that I did not say “write”. What you foist upon the world is nothing at all like writing. You are the oft mocked simians banging away at keyboards in an attempt not to write the “Great American Novel”, but rather a simple, witty observation.

I dub thee, “Humanzees”.

re: “I think he may be referring to the fact that if the MoCo didn’t pay off MV’s $70million debt, this bike doesn’t get built.”

exactly, the sale back to “la familia” only came AFTER willie g. infused it with capitol to begin the revamping process (which yielded the F5 you see above and the forthcoming F3 triple). other than some tweaks here and there, remember the F4 sat “embarrasingly” stagnant for over a decade since it’s introduction in ’99 (by-product of no money). they saw a like property with growth potential that could easily be rectified with a serious infusion of capital (standard business practice). MV was certainly bought for the longterm, but the economic downturn forced them to focus back on their core business (it happens). a reoccuring theme even in industries 10x more robust than the niche business of motorcycling, so naturally hd was not immune.
