Hmmm. Sounds like a Laverda.

As spectacilarily beautiful as it appears, and as bristling as the specs are, we will have to see if it humbles the MV Agusta (The most beautiful bike on the planet, in my opinion), Aprilia Mille, Ducati 998 or 999, or even the S4 (which is the one I want)

[RiCE-DaDDy]

im still gon with mv agusta :poosie:

and the seat on the new benelli looks like it would hurt

[Neons4life]

I second the MV Augusta, sexiest bikes ever

[Marsh]

^---:werd:
those are in a league of their own:drool:

[mo_virgin]

ONLY The Brutale... the other MVs arn't that immpressive

[Ducati]

You want uncomfortable seat? Try the Ducati Monster or the Honda CB1, They slope and mash your balls into the tank.

:rolleyes:
why am i not suprised??
:D

[mo_virgin]

Hey man... you thought the same last time i knew you

[RiCE-DaDDy]

i think they are all awesome, but i think the m4 is better than the tornado

[mo_virgin]

No way man... i would take the tornado over F4 anyday... it drips with design... and i just can't get over those underseat radiator fans (if thats what they are)

Heres your precious bike man

[RiCE-DaDDy]

whateva man, but nothin can beat that under exhaust

[Ducati]

...unless you are the Meat on the Seat.
I can tell ya that underseat exhaust systems cook your ass.

[euro tang]

that first Benelli looks like a wasp

[Ducati]

Mo Virgin, you wouldn't happen to have a picture of the red and silver MV Agusta amongst your vast selection of bike photo's would you?

Oh, and thanks for stepping up to my back during all that bullshit with the pinheads on the Leo's forum. I owe ya!

[mo_virgin]

Yo man... it was my pleasure. You owe me nothing though... your points were right and what is wrong and right should be pointed out. Im not sure of the one bike you're looking for.. so here's a couple.

The F4-s

If it isn't the one PM me

[Ducati]

Yesss...thats the one. That bike is the exotic that all others should bow to. As outstanding a peice as the Benelli is, it is a brand new bike without an established reliability and performance record yet.
This MV was and is a masterpiece of both art and performance right from the get-go. If I won a lottery, the MV Agusta is the first thing I would buy.

I do hope that the Benelli does well, though. I am a dyed in the wool eyetie bike fanatic, and have the Italian Red White and Green tricolour painted on the floor in my garage.

My ugly old Kraut cars stay outside with the dog.
