Btw among all these bikes, which one is more rare in the GTA? it seems to be the MV. It might be for a bad reason tho.
Help me choose, MV F4 or HP4 or 1199 Panigale R
- Thread starter cool
- Start date
EBR should be releasing a super-naked 1190sx.
When? For Next year I'm guessing.
What's it going to cost? Too much for sure.
How it will stack up next to competition like the Tuono, s1000r, SuperDuke etc? I gotta say it'll be tough for them, mainly due to price. Same problem they'll face with the RX. It's not alot of bike for $20 USD, and by that I mean components /electronics wise. It just won't have enough to lure anyone out side of the Buell loyalist's.
MV's triple was supposedly developed as an 800cc from the start, then they decided to shorten the stroke to get down to 675cc for world supersport. What all that means? Well apparently the engine is way smoother and more responsive at 800cc... along with the extra kick of increased displacement. Win Win Win
Is there even one in the GTA anymore?
edit: just went to their site. Looks like Royal Distributing sells MV Agusta.
I'm so bored I'm posting in a troll thread.
Anywho, if you have the dosh for any of these bikes, why is reliability a concern? Your dealer will probably be happy to take care of you.
In terms of increasing rarity, it will probably be Panigale R < HP4 < MV F4. You can just about count the number of MV Augusta dealers in the country using your fingers. Supposedly HP4s are hard to get due to demand, so you may need to grease a few palms. Maybe you like that!
I have seen someone in the GTA ride around on a Desmosedici, so be careful not to run into that guy or you will get shown up.

With all due respect, money not being a factor, you are essentially jumping from a honda civic to the top of the bike world with the three choices.
So many more choices in between to enjoy before you spoil yourself with the best of the marques.
With that said, obviously go with whichever you love best. Share some details with us and perhaps you will get a more qualitative response..
What kind of rider are you? What is your skill level like?
Would you rather a nice shiny bike, or a performance beast with scratched fairings?
....
That's quite a huge jump from 250 to 1000+, especially after only 1 season of only weekends. I went from a CB450 to a Ninja zx6, and for the first couple months, it was pretty scary. The amount of instant power available is a bit overwhelming.
I would vote for the HP4. I like the look, and like you said, it sounds pretty sexy.
Must be nice having $25k to spend on a weekend toy.
Notice a pattern here?
If you want a bike to cruise around on weekends get a 600ss. Not only will you live longer but it will be more fun on the street.

You should seriously consider getting a used 600ss bike for at least one season before you drop $20-32k on a flagship superbike. A rider at your level (hell, 95% of riders) wont gain anything from ohlins suspension or an akrapovic exhaust, except maybe for street cred at the local timmies :lol:
Get a used 600ss for $5000, ride it for this season and then sell it for $4800 if you really want to move up. Although if you really have to get one of the fastest most technically advanced bikes for the road as your second bike, get the HP4 simply because it is the most well rounded choice with the best rider aids to help you keep your new $22k toy shiny side up...
i loled
and good luck with getting HP4 this late in the season
you can almost cross that off ur wish list

I'm not trolling. I care about reliability because being broken down means less enjoyment, beside i can only ride during weekends. If i have to wait a month for parts then screw it.
A classic of jealousy from grade school?
Do you ask every GTR driver " hey do you have a driving skill to match the car? " I'm sure that would get you far in life. Stop dissing my skills because i rode a ninja250.
Who says I don't ride a 250. Driving skill and riding skill are very different. **** up in a car and you have a dinged bumper. **** up on a bike and you're dead. 1 season on a 250 is not enough experience to be able to handle a litre bike.
Don't these fancy bikes have rider aids and rain modes, abs and such? Sure they do. They've got stiff frames, great suspension, gumball tires, life saving mufflers and fully rotational throttles. They will only go as fast as you ask, what's all the sturm and drang about then? Ride it like you didn't steal it.
The sky's been falling since 1978 when, as a teenager, I got a Z1900 with 36mm damper rod forks, 4 inch wide skidmasters, noodle frame c/w hinge, no brakes, you know...1970's superbike. Riding impaired encouraged and applauded. Surely the 21st century man can do no worse.
