Hmmm, still looks like a half finished design to me. Although I'd rather have one of these than a 999 ;)

[wkid_one]

I don't like the headlights - the rest looks pretty good

[matthewt]

Full red just isn't my colour darling ...

Actually the fans out the back do look kinda cool, in a batman sort of way.

[Big Dog]

I like:2thumbsup

I would look better in the normal strip but:p

Do you mean the Green & Silver colour scheme ?? If so then kindly double the price :D

[Big Dog]

If money were no object...... sure u got a deal:2thumbsup

[bikerboy]

I agree the silver/green looks best for the Benelli.

I think the yellow 999s monoposta looks much better though :D

But the MV F4 is still " la piu bellissima moto da moda " :2thumbsup

Hey Bikerboy,

I just rode back from Neptune Mufflers with a new set of pipes (from footpegs back). Yeehaaa !!! I'll probably get the bike on the dyno to try out a few different eproms for the fuel mapping but it sounds very nice !!

Once I give the bike a decent clean I'll upload some photo's.

[Car Dodger]

Looks just like most other sports bikes to me.

I didn't think they would be using a chain anymore?

Dont like the front much,

But I'm sure it goes like snot. yeeeeeehaaa!!!!:2thumbsup

[Coldkiwi]

is it just my cold-filled brain playing tricks on me or is the front Dunlop 207 tyre fitted back to front on that bike!? I'm sure those tread patterns should be channelling water away from the centreline not towards it...

&nbsp;

as for the actual bike... DAMN! I think they do the Tre in green/silver too not just the limited edition Novocento (or have I got that confused as well?)

[bikerboy]

When I was looking for pipes they, Neptune, said they didn't do any for the F4.:argh:

I've got the Sil moto ones, very loud and came with a chip. :rockon:

[Liv, Norway]

Injection?

ABS?

Heated grips?

No, no and no?
No thank you.

:) Liv.

I think he did mine because I live locally and was able to give him my bike for a couple of weeks so he could do all the R&D on it. If someone else asked him now he'd probably say yes.

[Dave]

I was trying to figure out what it reminded me of-it looks like darth maul from star wars,.

[Jackrat]

That new dunlop is supposed to work like that,Or so I read.
I think it,s a nice enough looking bike but I just can,t get it out of my head what a total dog the first Tornado was.I,m talking about the 70s twin there.:puke:
