9k MV?

[psycledelic]

it looks and sounds sweet, but with little support on this side of the pond, who will service it?

Harley Davidson, of course.  Oh, uh, never mind!

Tamburini has retired, so I'm not holding my breath for a bike as beautiful as the f4

The F3 has been in the works for at least 4 years. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a hand in it.

MV please build this bike

looking forward to seeing leaked(purposely) photos of the 3 cylinder baby brutale.

What about the EVO? Did they upgrade anything there?

The Evo has a number of upgrades over the previous 848s.  First off, it comes with the DP race cams and a slight bump in compression, both of which add up to a touch more power.  Now for the con though; it actually brings the power in at a slightly higher point in the rev range, so those looking for more grunt or a punchier mid than the older 848 might be a touch disappointed.  Also, the Evo comes with the monoblocks from the 10/1198 as well as a frame mounted steering damper (same frame as the big brother).

I used to have a 675 Daytona (an '08 model) and will say now that I REALLY regret letting it go.  I haven't owned an 848, but have spent a fair amount of time riding them, both with stock and highly upgraded suspension.  The 848 does have a touch more scoot to it, but given the two bikes to equally competent riders and I think you would find them neck 'n neck almost anywhere.

I'm really eager to see if this new MV makes its way over here.

I don't see the lack of support structure as that much of a problem, especially for MV. Any person who is willing to pay a premium for an MV knows this. There are plenty of resources online to find parts too. mvagusta.net is just like the DMF and bikes are always getting parted out there. It will be no problem finding parts down the line. I bet you can go on there right now and find complete engines for sale for both the 750, 910 and 1078.

if it's a cheaper alternative to the 848, without being japanese... count me in.

Yeah, MV is known for cheap bikes.

Go take a look at the Daytona.  They started using a fair number of "race kit" internal parts as part of the stock configuration with the '09 model year transition.  They are seriously competent bikes, and all for about 10K brand new.

I'm planning on getting one. I LOVED my last Triumph 675... 3 cylinder engines are fantastic. Sound great, good power... just fun.

Our local Duc shop also sells MVs.

There's an 848s??

Any person that is paying a premium for any bike also expect a certain amount of support. Getting on a website trying to find parts from parted bikes is no way to support a product.

That's much better, but how hard is it for them to get parts from the factory? I know that Ducati had some mayor issues back in the day getting parts out. I did not personally have to suffer through these times, but I know many people with more patience than I do having to wait months.

So, is this this the Daytona motor?  Based on it?  There are not many 675cc triples out there, so it seems unlikely to be coincidental.
