Awesome, just awesome, a mate was in town yesterday on his Moto Morini he brought into the country and he said 'take er for a spin' so I did and heres my thoughts.
HOLY shit this thing has some snot 140 ponys I think and in 1st gear its just nuts, 2nd and its almost as loose 3rd and its still pulling power whellies and from there up ya just hanging on for dear life.
The brakes are typical Brembos pull ya up as if to hiff ya over the front, corning the bike feels very light and nimble.
The finishing of the bike is rather hand done where you can see the masking lines and paint seepage but thats part of a rear Italian bike no two will be the same. The bike had a few wee oil leaks nothing major but I wouldnt think it should leak at all.
It has a very Iti clunky rattly engine and the exhaust tone is lumpy but quiet, its so Italian I love it.
All up I did the longest wheelie under power (more so than a GSXR1000 etc) this bike is a completely different bike to a Tuono, Buell and other V2's in fighter set ups, its just so crazy, bring on the Buell 1125R I cant wait to see how the new generation of V2s ride if this MM is anything to go by.
