Am thinking of buying a bike - I had a Ducati 748SP when they first came out, - ready for another special.
Nothing wrong with the Porker - apart from being slow?
The MV just looks stunning............

As someone who knows zip about bikes , how does it steer and why have they done this rather than normal forks.

The idea of hub centre steering is to separate out steering and braking forces to make it steer more neutrally and not dive so much under braking. BMW had a similar telelever system and Yamaha made a (different) similar system in their GTS 1100 for a couple of years, but it never really caught on or delivered any useable benefits in the real world.
Love the F3 - a real work of art.....but I've never been a Bimota fan. They seem to just make expensive versions of other peoples bikes just for the hell of it - often the stuff they do doesn't really work it seems.....

Yeah that suspension set has been around for years,but never really took on proberley cos its more expensive than the norm,and no real handling benefit.
The MV is beautiful,love the exhaust they keep coming up with ways to exit the pipes just like the previous model four pipes exit from under the rear light
This is the bike I would have brought rather than the RSV,but the dipsticks at Guzzi only made it as a track bike

I had a 1984 GPZ with anti dive as my first bike and didn't know why other bikes didn't. (It worked too).
