For all those lusting (like me) after a 1098...

[Duke5]

Got my 1098 base from motomart a few weeks ago. One of the lucky few in the country. Followed a 1098s over the Rimas on Saturday. Decided i didnt need the ohlins and lighter wheels for 6k more, especially since im a road rider.
Last bike was a 998 Bayliss which in my opinion was just as good as the 1098.
1098 fits like a glove though compared with the rather cramped 998.
Overall a very nice bike but cant believe it has set me back 32k !!
Should be some well priced 999, s on offer as the 1098 becomes more available.

Well done. I'm keen on a 1098s but I'll wait until the 08 model.

Hey, were you on the NDR beginning of the month?

Yep. By the time the warranty runs out on the 750, I should be able to swap it for a pair of 749Ses....

Yuuummmmmm.that is beautiful

[Back Fire]

I don't like the current trend of some bikes to not have a red zone on the rev counter face.

thats an Italian thing... I don't know if they ever have had redzones on their tachos... I'm not sure about Aprilias but MV Agustas dont have a red zone, and neither did Cagiva's last time I looked

[Finn]

Why do you need a redzone? Amatuers.

But it wont look so good with all those stone chips its going to get in the wake of a MV Agusta F4R 312.

Still nice styling

If anyone watched last weeks SBK, they had another race called (I think) superstock. It had 1098's and MV's in it. The ugly bikes from Japan still won though. Just.

[Mr. Peanut]

Between $120,000 and $150,000 NZD depending on who your contacts are.

Not a bad investment really.

Wait and see... its a watershed year for MV. They have a point to prove & I think they might just do it On second thought, they will do it.

Finn: Badovini (Superstock 1000s) was fastest around Assen on an MV during Qualifying Session 1 this weekend... watch this space.

UPDATE (29/04): Sheesh!! Badovini living up to the first three letters of his name. That's the second race in a row the geezer has crashed in. From 4th on the front row to 31st!! Good bike, bad(ovini) rider.
