    There is a black/silver MV F3 675 for just $18k.
    It is worth a thought and the extra money.

    Hey dude your dream bike 2001 MV Agusta's price has dropped to $11k. Are you gonna "seal the deal" now?

The only problem with them was the factory suspension and that has been taken care by Robert Taylor and he's no.1 in NZ when it comes to suspesnsion so thats one thing out of my way. The other thing is the part availability and they are available throughout nz through MV Agusta Dealers ( most them are Red Baron in Auckland, Wellington and Tauranga ) so like the previous owner I would shop around to hunt for the parts my self to save money and then provide it to the mechanic at the time of servicing. There are few other things which needs changing from time to time like any other motorbike are the chain & Sprockets, a compulsory oil change ever 6000 kms and valve clearance around every 10,000 kms and most of the things can be done own you own by following the service manual or by looking up the video tutorials on MvAgusta.net and for the rest the mechanic will come handy.

    The other thing i found that needs attention on this bike will be failing of rear hub but there's a permanent remedy for it, a Mv Agusta specialist in Australia makes the custom ones will last for ever than the factory ones so that'll be the first thing I'll buy once I have the bike and it cost $1000 but I'll be worth it in the long run.

    one more thing is to check the the fuel filter regularly to make sure the fuel hoses in the tank are all ok and the last thing would be to ckeck the fuses and relays if spmething goes wrong with the electronics and luckily I have a Auto electrician mate who will do this for free if need be. So yeah in other words its a simple MV Agusta being one of the oldest model cos the newer ones are more complex and their parts are way too expensive

    Yeah mate, have already signed up on Mv Agusta. net forum and Mv Agusta owners all over the world have supplied me with enough info in terms of maintaining the bike ( parts and servicing etc . ) Some of them are also parts manufactureres themselves based in states and Aussie so getting parts would be piece of cake and they are heavily discounted for members so that will be convenient also.

    Na mate I have been analysing the bike since ages. I was a noob when I first started but now I've become a guru in theory anyway

    I understand where youre coming from bro but this Italian bike is like a Japanese bike in disguise, trust me on that I have done heaps of research to make me say that. Even a guy like me can easily do some of the basic things ( changing oil filter, chain and sprockets etc. ) by following the manual. The only other thing that I will have to get them to do for me would be the valve clearance and checking the bearing for the rear hub and keeping them lubed etc.

    I did all the research using my head and now I'm above to buy it with all of my heart and no regrets, i don't wanna be that guy who ends up buying a bike and than mourning after couple of months. I have done enough research so lets see whats destined for me in the future. Will keep you guys updated anyway or you guys will find it out anyway , i.e when I start winging about the bike on here. Haha

    But he's done "all the necessary digging about this model", "done plenty of research", knows how to get a European-manufacturer rear hub for $100 and even "signed up to MV forums".

    He is now MV guru, I'm sure he is ready.

    There must be something I need to learn, I'm on page 19. Although if anyone asked why I had persisted this far I'd be hard put to come up with an answer.

    But he wants a pretty bike, so the busa is out.

    I vote get a $5000 bike, get a $1500 flash suit, and spend the rest of the money on strippers.

    For $12,000ish you can buy a dirt bike, a nice road bike and a ute.
