better looking than the new Monster 1200 IMHO....
Love how they used juuuust the right amount of plastics to hide the radiator.
wooof!
skeet
mother make the beast with two backsin'
skeet
[drool]
What's the small ring around the front axle on the left-hand side of the bike? ABS?
I also would like that rear stand!
ABS for the europeans, Americans get it next year.
Local dealer (Moto Forza) has the Rivale in stock already.
That 3cyl 800 is a beast, fast revving with tons of power, coupled with light weight.

go the $$$$$ ?
Awesome looking bike. However let me be the first to say it, that fender has to go. I like the concept but I see a lot of potential here for the aftermarket folks to make something much less bulky....
still [drool] [drool] [drool]
Pretty sure Moto Forza has those stands in stock, try calling and talking to Kris.
Although, the pin won't fit a Ducati.
Wow, that thing looks awesome. I agree that it does look better than the new monster. DAMN.
Gad. Looks like Transformers on LSD... :P

Too bad they couldn't get some hard-edged music to go along with the sedate video.

Definitely not a bike for old men.
(Ooops, sorry I'll get off your lawn! :D)
The bike is obviously awesome...but, I just can't get myself to like those small little 'wasp' back ends.
I'd still love to have one. [Dolph]

What does 'religion' have to do with it.
Pretty cool. [thumbsup]

Had to google that one. ;)
what a beauty...now if only they had a better dealer network I'd know what toy to buy

Agreed!
Proportion is all wrong, the Monster 1200 is pretty bad but the Dragster is worse.
Looks like a dog that is scared with tail between his legs :o :o [thumbsdown] [coffee].

recently one of the best dealers in FL started selling MVs. If they continue to come out with bikes like this, I'm sure the dealer network will increase.
I hope the 1200 designers are taking notes. This is a demonstration on how to properly icorporate the radiator to the bike. I like the look of the docked tail! Real agressive like a Doberman or a Boxer.
I definitely like it... [thumbsup]
Talked to my dealer today, strong possibility I will be buying one soon……. [evil]

That also describes the personality behind the 800 triple. [evil]

Sounds like a winner to me.
... I wonder if my wife would kill me if I sold the monster and picked this one up as a "replacement" bike
:o
Gotta see it in person, man there are so many small details.
[thumbsup]
The problem here is the lack of dealerships, so we'll be waiting for later this year before seeing it in person.
The Dealer near Philly is having an event this saturday. Trying to get out there to co check it out. If I make it out, will take pics!
Exotic looking bike, not my cup of tea though. I'll take a cafe racer looking bike anytime [thumbsup]

Test rides?

You have to provide your own snow chains... ;)

With the 13 inches of snow we got yesterday mixed with rain and sleet; and the inch or two expected to come tomorrow you will need more than snow chains!

I'm guessing its more just an indoor eat some grub and drool kinda event [drink]
I feel for you guys in the snow and ice. We were ballooning the last two days in fairly warm weather. Yesterday when we landed we had several police cars and a couple of fire trucks show up within a few minutes.
When you do a fast vertical spot landing the balloon drops out at 500-600fpm. When landing like that you have to go long and hard on the burners to flare to a soft landing. So someone saw a balloon crashing, on fire and called 911. Everyone was pretty cool about it though and I think we may have even ended up with some firemen taking their gals this season. [thumbsup]
Tomorrow? rain.
Wasn't able to make it out last week with the rain and ice. Went up today and here are some pics. It looked pretty sweet in person! Sticker price was $14,798

Were you at Ferracci?
Yep [evil]
A Brutale was my first bike choice but of course no dealership near by at the time. I now have a local mega dealership that carries MV, and they are fully stocked, but they are asshats to say the least, customers usually purchase there only once.
Last week was my first time seeing the MV 's up close. Beautiful! The dragster is cool but their upcoming sport tourer, the tourismo veloce, looks like what I'm needing as my next bike.
danaid, have you tested the HyperStrada? Give it a try . . .

I have not tested the new hyper as of yet, Definitely i'm wanting a smaller tourer. I had a chance to ride a friends BMW R1200 that he is selling, and it was lighter and more nimble than it looked, but it still was a big bike. loving the looks of the MV tho...
Wait for the MV Turismo Veloce if you're after a tourer. The dragster is not that.

I keep eyeballing the Hyper as well. I would like to compare one with an f800
