200k off carbon fibre MV Tamburini

[dangerous]

Well.... fark me, how awesome is the MV Augusta Tamburini... farking awesome, now I dont like my 4 cyl engines hell they belong in cars right? but I love the F4. Ok so maybe its a Itialian thing but hey let me tell you about my ride on this $200k bike.

Reaching for the key and I notice the badge with the bike number and the owners name ingraved by the factory, turn the key and the ecu checks itself out the speedo reads 320kph the tacho... cant remember but it was around 17g hit the starter and theres a very unusual sound from the induction kinda rough but sweet the note out the pipe is horse and loud.

The Tamburini is an all near carbon fibre bike with engine mods like the torque shift system which gives amazing grunt down low, to the point where I thought i was high up in the revs yet I was only at 5g out of 13g the power was massive I never got he chance to wind it out due to the heavy winds but this bike was like no other 1000cc 4cl I have ridden.

The bike is so well finished from its suede seat to immaculate paint finish over carbon fibre.
The 1st thing I noticed on riding off was the horendous sound from the induction it soon overwelmed the exhaust note and was like nothing I have heard before, I swear it was a twin down low transforming into a high reving 4 the seat was hard but that soon become a non issue as the bike is so easy to hang off and fall into one with.

Well what more can I say I was stoked to have been offered the ride see here http://www.mvagusta.it/_vti_g2_mod3a...d=3&rpstry=27_ for details on the bike in the mean time heres a few pics.

Big thanks to the KBer for the ride... what else ya got for me

PS: did i say this bike has 22 carrot gold hex bolts on it

added due to questions later in the thread
ok... here ya are this isn't a standard Tamburini, they dont come with gold bolts...

New was about $110, carbon Dymag wheels $6, titanium full race system $12, race engine(220hp at the wheel) that'll make it about $200. Oh and the carbon tank which is the only body part that is not c/f from the factory. If you wanted to buy the torque shift system alone would cost 50k.

Well I was going to let you try my $6K Italian bike but somehow I don't think I'll bother eh?

fuck 200k dam thats a lot, i'm still dreaming of an 8k DR.
That MV would be a dream alright theres just something speical about those wog bikes.

$200K - you are kidding??????

I am glad it is being ridden. I'm thinking we should get together (for motorcycle rides ya perverts) as you appear to be a good chap to know with friend like that

Only one thing bothers me (apart from the apparent need for a small step ladder).

WTF - everyone knows how heavy gold is!

Yep them pushrod things are so yesterday. Ask Rashika she is considering jumping over to a bit of technology. With the dollar so high should get a good offer for that gozzie thing, weights quite a bit, scrap prices like they are. Should do well , Good luck.

Wog = Western Oriental Gentleman...i.e. a person with black or very dark brown skin (African, Arabic or Indian) derogatory rascist term in fact...since before Australia and New Zealand were discovered....the word you are looking for I think is Wop. which is a dreogatiry rascist term for an Italian.

I suspect some silly Australian made this mistake a couple of hundred years ago and common misunderstanding has perpetuated it amongst the thinking Australians we are proud to call brothers today.

I dont normally look to close at fulled fared machines, BUT that is sumthin!!!!
Reminds of the two nice MV's parked up in The Museum Hotel in Wellinton last time I was there, and they had me drooling.

I think with that one I would have been


Very nice.
