MV Agusta F4 Series

[antonioshabirto]

Bro, I think I fully understand what's coolcat's friend concern.

 

You see, some people, quite alike me.

Would not go do research, find, ask about bikes spec etc etc and etc as they got more important things in their life to care about.

 

You know when I bought a MV, I have not even seen 1 in real life!

I just knew I wanted it and made the purchase.

 

What they/we want is their own dream bike to stastify themself. And if they don't like it, as in riding posture or some other inconvenient, they may consider selling it off and lead on their life. Simple as that.

 

That's exactly what I do.

Buy it, ride it... like it.. keep it....

 

When I get bored with it or something else caught my attention, sell it off and move on. Heh heh heh

 

Cheers!

 

Well ur an exception .... but i would really advise ppl to do some research first before making such commitment....

[coolcat]

Well, I agree with the research bit. It is just that the MV is a work of art, and practicality is another thing. Sometimes a rider will sell off a bike for his own subjective reasons, hence the question of reselling. One of the possible reasons for sale could be not-money related e.g. don't like the bike's power ranges, etc.

 

I appreciate the comments by the MV owners, it is just that it is hard balancing practicality with passion, or thinking between the heart and the head.

 

Is it true that the F4 750 got a snatchy throttle?

 

Cheers

MV 750 has surging problem and it runs on high revs ..... To solve this issue ... you got to change the, ECU or ur call it the Eprom, End can or slip on and not forgeting the midpipe and add a PC3 to tune it to perfection

 

 

 

I have to disagree with you on the power part as this bike has full power .....

Its not only an art but also a leading bike in the market now .....

[ayuluv]

juz to add on.. last time i had refer the price of spr and it cost some what more den the stock f4 1000 s in fact... its race ready actually.. top end of the 750.. (a must get if can afford)

 

actually dun get the mv bcos price is cheap as there mayb alot of hidden reasons in it. Its better to find out more by doing some search so that even when there is a problem, u can narrow it down and rectify it. The parts dun come cheap and easy so i guess if you happen to confirm which parts nids replacement, get them ready from oversea or from sporting.. and the fellow mv owners (not me) are glade to help you =)

So a 750 has to change to full systems to perform? Anyone rides a 750 stock? Could it be this 750 sucks on the streets but yet it's a dream in the tracks like my ex 748?

[NoLogicOne]

i dont need pictures to show my credibility ,..... those who knows me will know what bike im riding. i dont blame you even if you dont trust me..... btw i did not mention abt testing a 07 R1. At the point the argument was heating up .... neither 1098 or 07 R1 was mention. But lots of ppl assume lots of things .... cos i dont tell them what bike i have ... i believe thats my privacy.

 

true enuff i still have my monster with me ... and if they are keen to know what bike i am riding ...... its really obvious ..... its return everywhere in my profile

 

Yup, privacy...not doubting you, but at the same time, dun know you in person, plus this is a forum, so had to take everything with a pinch of salt. At the sametime also like to have the freedom to do my research and decide on what really calls out to my heart, for I stick with a bike for long, not mere months. Had to make it a careful investment.

 

My 748 was good off the crate...stock. Only change was brakelines and had on Power Race. A good rider did 1.52" on the bike riding for only 5 laps and "for fun" in PG. The MV 750 I hope will be like that too, good right off the crate, stock.

Rg3 slip-on, Mid pipe, Eprom and PC3

 

this is because of the Eprom mapping of the stock ..... Fuel has too rich mixture.....

 

No one rides a stock 750 as this is really not comfy due to the surgin and high rev throttle..... i am very sure its not possible on the street.

 

once changes are made as mention above .... it solve all problems and its a smooth bike to ride on the street .... from low end to high end .... its fantastic.

 

This is solve on the SPR and thats the reason they call it an all rounder bike .... both street and race bike

Unless u want to use 750 only on tracks by all mean stock would be more than enuff to perform ..... btw like i mention to one of our Bros here ...

 

Pls do some research before a commitment is being made.

Define full power? I mean... Which bike doesn't have full of its own power? Besides, in my opinion, there is not much benchmark today to compare the MV against. Considering the dominant inline 750s available today are quite only the Suzukis. But if you were to ask me, the F4 750 has quite a well-distributed range of power. Not exactly snatchy I would say, I think it's more of the tight grips and racy position. Infact I kinda feel the F4 750 lack punch, the "wao I'm going fast" factor.

 

Have no wish to offend the many MV owners and supporters here, MV is truly a work of art, but leading bike? Performance numbers? Championship titles? I don't smell any of them. Maybe leading in terms of pricing and aesthetic appeal.

Well no worries we wont get offended by ur remarks .... but in fact MV did won a number of Races mayb u are not aware of this. Do go to Mv forum to see how many titles .... i rest my case here for u to do some research.

 

Benchmarks are everywhere ..... so compare it at ur own space

 

Like i said ...... i dont think so u did rode the SPR before to feel the performance of the bike ... the 750 in singapore are considered the lowest series of the MVs and if you were to compare that of coz theres no way .....

 

To each its own .... MV is not only about Art but Its a Masterbike Champion.

Even when Troy Bayliss won the WSBK title last yr, I keep telling my frens that what we see on TV is not so true for us ppl, because first of all, it's expensive to get hands on 999R. Even if you do, you have no access to Corsa parts, unless you are talking about outdated Corsa parts. But definately you have no access to what Troy is using.

 

Plus it takes a crazy Troy to be fast on the 999F06.

 

Cold and hard fact, I told my frens that off the crate, the Jap bikes are better in performance. I dun wanna tell them Duc 999 is the best bike just because it won WSBK. But maybe we will see a comeback to the old days when they start the 1098 next yr, lol. Even KTM will be racing the 1200cc Twins too.

[GuiNNeSS]

I think the difference between MV Aguata and Ducati is, one is a bike of dreams and the other is a dream come true.

 

Let me explain. Try as you may, but its the fact that MV Agustas are overpriced candy filled specsheet machines that boast millions of top shelf parts on paper, but are seldom proven in the racing world. You buy MV Agustas because you want something special. Yes it may handle well, go fast (312km/h?), have the most power and all that.

 

But end of the day, its not on TV. Ducati is the one going head to head with the Japanese big four, and when you ride a Ducati, you can certainly feel a sense of belonging knowing you're sitting on the exact same chassis Troy Baylis is on. Put on a set of Termis and you have that exact Superbike sound. Its a dream come true.

 

If you trully appreciate technology, performance and exclusivity, then for the price of a 999R or MV Augsta whatever, you can get one of these :

Poggpolini NCR. It has the same lumpy engine as your good ol Monster M1000, but if you know bikes, you'd know what its capable of.

[GuiNNeSS]

Don't get me wrong, MV agustas have their attractions too, but I don't think the profile of MV Agusta owners include bragging about their machines. You don't buy a Ferrari and then discuss valve angles.

[coolcat]

Ya, will ask fren to do research, probably he will be keen on the EPROM upgrade thing. Sorry if I am asking very basic and sometimes vague questions, cos' I don't ride high end modern bikes, like older and more mechanical machines.

 

The F4 is a beautiful machine, no doubt about that.

 

Cheers

[NoLogicOne]

Yup, me too...just want a machine that works well for me, not too fussy about paper values (bhp, torque, WSBK titles, etc). So will still be very keen to try out a MV and see for myself if I could qualify as a pilot for one.

Few pages back .... there's news on Mv agusta as the Masterbike Champions

 

well read the post below ....

MV AGUSTA WINS MASTER BIKE 2007 WITH THE F4-R 312

 

http://www.mvagustausa.com/web-mvagusta/news/pix/07_masterbike_01.jpg

http://www.mvagustausa.com/web-mvagusta/news/pix/07_masterbike_02.jpg

 

 

The F4-R 312 won the title of 2007 Master Bike up against the best the competition had to offer. The riders included 18 specialist journalists and world-renowned riders like Randy Mamola, Jurgen Fuchs and Stefan Chambon representing the 15 best-known motorcycling magazines.

 

Unlike previous versions, the three categories were changed this year to celebrate the tenth anniversary. The twin-cylinder and four-cylinder Superbike categories were replaced by Japanese Superbike and Italian Superbike.

 

The F4-R 312 first won the Italian Superbike category by beating the Aprilia RSV 1000 Factory and Ducati 1098 S. The MV then took on and defeated the Yamaha R1 and Triumph Daytona 675 in the overall results. These machines had previously won respectively the Japanese Superbike and Supersport 600 categories.

 

The F4-R 312 allowed 4 riders out of 6 to complete their fastest laps in the final, while 10 riders out of 18 clocked up their best times during the heats.

 

 

The F4 has become a legend in the motorcycle history and this latest win confirms once more just how much this machine is appreciated by both journalists and riders the world over.

 

 

FYI : Most prestige Award

Duh.... so much review here about performance etc etc and etc...

There are different reasons for different people "TO BUY MV" and reasons "NOT TO BUY MV".

 

Here's my reason to get a MV:

I just want to own a bike call MV AGUSTA and I don't bladdy care how fast or slow it can go. I don't care how much petrol this fella needs to drink daily. All I want is to ride this sexy fella where ever I go.

 

Lastly, all I know is, I got a sexy bike and I don't care if others like it or not.

Heh heh.. simple as that....

 

Can we stop something like comparing "mine is bigger thans yours" etc etc...

There wouldn't be an end to it.

 

Cheers!
