To be fair, I couldn't give a st what it looks like, I don't buy bikes anymore To look at, I just love riding, I inow lots of people want a pin up bike, but I don't have time to go t the garage and look at it, I do a lot of enduro riding and people buy those types of bikes because they like the look of them, You do a enduro and it looks fked about 10 minutes later!
The mt10 looks good to me, purposeful etc, it's such a lovely thing to ride, that engine is amazing.

Opinions are like aholes... wink

They are also the opinions of somebody that has an MV and a TVR; I'm obviously attracted to loud, brash things that break down a lot...

No wonder German bikes don't really appeal to me hehe

I think TVRs and MVs seem to go together, I can only think the owners like something a little more out of the ordinary and dont mind the risk of breakdown with long lead time on spares with little factory support smile

...still if MV go the way of TVR then the service, support and warranty will be supplied better from a fantastic network of specialists rather than any factory offering that existed before...and the vehicles sold to date will be become depreciation proof, even gain value ...fingers crossed, who needs a loss making bike factory anyway ? wink

(MV and TVR fan too)

Everything German that I have had has been far more unreliable than the Griffith I had for 3 years.

I'm pretty sure this is the case already; there are loads of guys on MVAgusta.net that keep the parts flowing around the world. There are even two guys that supply improved remaps for MVs (for free) and a guy in Australia that sells uprated rear hubs that are far better than the MV OEM.

I love the MV network, there are already so many similarities with TVR owners. The advice available is fantastic.

Looking good!, is that a arrow can with a arrow link pipe? Are you running with a baffle in and how does it effect the way she goes?

yes, agreed, I think its the niche vehicle community appeal. The MV community online is really helpful. Reminds me of PH when it first started out as pretty much a TVR focussed web forum smile

Yes Arrow can and link pipe running with the baffle in (way too loud without in my opinion!) not noticed a huge difference to be honest but I have been running it in 😜
