Hey Stinky, has to be you, there’s only one Stinky. It’s a hoot isn’t it? We’ll have to go do it again before the white crap starts falling. Bring the Duc, we’ll go play.

Motorcycling would be so much duller without folks like Giovanni and his father!

just rode a friends Brutale last month. I’m a twins kinda guy, but that thing made my blood boil as no four had ever done before. I was hooked before I even sat on it. If their triple can inspire that emotion I’ll have to think twice about my Street Triple purchase.

@Tom, I read an interview a few months back in which Giovianni was asked about additional models beyond the F3 and Brutale. He said they were a small company and needed to concentrate their resources on the F3 and Brutale. So it didn’t sound like other new models were in the pipeline.

1st and foremost I LOVE the passion Giovanni has inherited from Claudio.
Sure you need to be practical and methodical to succeed in business but without passion
and commitment you’ll just be producing boring motorcycles.

The infusion of the HD cash flow helped to generate the current evolution of the current inline 4′s and to develop the middleweight inline 3 cylinders BUT in it also cost MV on the passion and styling side with the loss of Tamburini. The original iterations of the F4 and Brutale were Tamburini’s vision and their styling was original, unique and timeless.

I hope the best for MV, keep your hand buried in the throttle and your eyes over the horizon.

Godspeed Claudio and be strong Giovanni!

“Two concepts for new models were formed by him during the fight against his illness…” Is that two new models beyond the new F4, F3, and Brutales? This will be exciting. Lets hope they succeed beyond their dreams.

…makes me want to run out and buy a new MV – if only my banker would return my calls (if only I had a banker).
