Used, they should be good value. Especially if you can find a 750F4. If one is paying nearly $45K for one in NZ then they are being ripped off. The MV Agusta USA internets claims an F4S model costs USD$21,795 excl tax. So it should be $NZD35K unless I am missing something..?

750f4 looks prudy....but its slower than your k6.....or is it the looks your after?

Owned & ridden all these bikes & have ended up on V-Twin & are enjoying ridding even more now , just like it was when I first hit the roads 27 ys ago . For the young Guns & racers there will always be a place for the Jap beasts but all good thing must come to an end sooner or later .

They're all good bikes and they do the business. Tribute to their makers and technology... I remember riding a GPZ900R back in 1984 and thinking that it couldnt get much better...Now I could probably go past the old Kwaka in third...

A naked V-Twin naked might be the goer - if I ever get over flexing my ego...

yea the F4S (s!!) costs about $36NZ. But the F4R, the one in the test, is upspeced quite a bit, and therefore is $44ish

Give me a thrashing on ur 810?? Phullease....haha. one off lap on that bike superpole style with tem mins practice each on the day, your choice of track, only it has to be a SEALED RACE circuit. Theres ma challenge...
OR we could do it on the WarPig i you'd prefer??

Yes it is slower. Less power all round and at high revolutions too. So I'd feel shitty if I had one of those. So it's the 1000cc model for me, but then I can't afford one. If I wanted looks, it would be a 748/749 wouldn't it? I think the 749 and 999 look better than the MV anyway.

You are worrying to Mr Poos. Very.
And I think your stick is hanging on the hatstand, where gramps left it....

Be interesting to take them all for a ride to compare as the Yamaha has the
highest power to wieght ratio with Honda lagging behind the rest going off that info.

next year when you trade up to a fuckin mobility scooter and a pension book it will be the "next big thing"

"I've had all of those bikes AND an RSVR Factory with Ohlins Underpants but nothing, and I mean nothing never made or ever to be made, will be faster or better handling or more comfortable than mah new mobility scooter, it's just the bestest."

GO SENSEI GO. you tit.
