I'm thinking about scratching an itch i've had since about 2009!

Looking at getting a 1078RR. Any owners here? anything special to look for?

I have owned mine from new and covered 9200 miles in the almost 9yrs. There are a few weak points and a few areas that are not weak but can be improved upon. Rear hub bearings need keeping an eye on. Running temperatures are high. Chain adjustment is something to get right.

Mine has all the areas and more sorted. It can be yours for the right money.

Happy to chat on uktrucks@msn.com

That's an unloved tatty leggy one bought without mot or warranty and it still went to Italy and back.

I've dropped you an email.

I've been looking at all the main issues. Currently got a 900mile old one on the radar for very sensible money, how this appeals less, one with a xbikes ecu/mapped/cored exhausts/ugraded cooling etc.

Pm replied to. X Bikes supplied and mapped my Micro tec ECU. Along with some other work all carried out when it was about a year old.

Since then Iain Rhodes has looked after her.

Head over to MV Agustas Owners Club UK. There’a quite a few owners on there.

I do fancy one, but need to clear some space in the garage first.
