Sad sad news. This makes me never want to ride again.........said No One!

There's only room for One Italian anyway.

Awww, come on. The 916 and the F4 were both immaculate concepts of Massimo. That makes them inextricably linked from a design perspective. MVs are keeping the steel trellis alive too.

I loved my MV F4 1000 Senna for all the same ways you love your 1199s - it is torquey, thrilling, and a beast to ride that demands to be whipped. So despite their radical differences in approach the F4 and the 1199 had a version similar emotional component while piloting. Obviously the F4 design is woefully outdated at this point, but the F3 is at least interesting.

That said... if ever there was a poster child for mismanaged motorcycle companies MV is it. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if it was nothing more than a series of bureaucratic errors that led to this state.
 
I'm just bein a .......

I actually am a big fan of the f3 800. That would be my middleweight bike of choice just to have something different from a Panigale (899) but my next bike will more than likely be something along the lines of a speed triple/brutale/fill in the blank. Basically something more upright for longer riding n comfort.
 
Wow, how in the hell did MV let it get to the point of being suspended from a huge market like that?

I'm guessing some heads will roll, this shoulda been sorted long ago.
 
Haaaaaaaa"¦ Keep it up Democrats.

What happened"¦Did they discover it had "evil assault rifle lookalike tailpipes" or something ?

MV forget to pay off the right ECO bunch ?

Did it not have a child lock safety feature ?

The 40+ MPG on a motorcycle not offset the carbon footprint of going over 100mph ?

They lacked the prerequisite "gay pride special edition corse model" ?

The instruction manual not have the spanish language insert ?

WHO would live in that totally ...... up state ? Is there anything that is still normal there?

NOLA

Liberal tactic one : Change the subject
Liberal tactic two : Call the person you disagree with names
Liberal tactic three : Reassign blame
Liberal tactic four : Throw the race card (Can also substitute gender)

At least you went for a combo score of two and four.

TBH, to state that this issue has anything to do with Democrats or Republicans is both speculative and a change of subject.

So by these rules you are guilty of #1 and #3 yourself.

Anyone want to talk about religion next?

Haaaaaa"¦..How is it a change of subject ??? I STARTED IT !

Garage mate at the track last week had a F3800 - engine blew up at 800km! I mean blew up too - had to get a complete new engine ... months waiting :( New engine seems to have settled in ok, but 800km is a worry

Pray for me brothers! The Lord came to me last night and told me I need a new Ducati to speed 'The Word' to everyone at my local track!
 
You mean to tell me that the liberal wet dream of Commiefornia has so much buerocratic red tape ........ that it inhibits FREE TRADE?

Well, nobody would've even guessed that! Lol

Who the hell would ever want to live in or do business in CA or NY anyway....

Nola, can we meet half way and I buy you a beer?
They never get it. I'd sooner start smoking crack before living/doing business in California. I'm in NJ and the red tape is no better here.

As we all know, the DMV is the biggest money pit in these liberal states.
Kinda like the liberal run Port Authority in NJ/NY. Can someone explain to be how they spend 1 MILLION DOLLARS PER HOUR?

To all you Californians: how you enjoying that nanny welfare state? What a dump.

Knowing California all too well, I'd put money on this somehow involving their bikes emission control system. Just another way for California to try and TAX TAX TAX everyone.
