I don't know yet.

It's the best looking bike I've had. I smile each time I see it. It's the fastest and best handling bike and the sound is intoxicating. But I've not spent enough time on it.

I need to do more miles, sort out the suspension and do a track day on it.

MOT passed so she's good for another year. Let's hope I get to ride it a bit more this year.

I've ordered a radiator protector for it. £50 for an R and G one. A lot cheaper than a hole in the radiator.

I gave Perkles the benefit of the MV Agusta fly past so he could hear it on full chat.

I've been using the MV a lot recently and getting to gel with it. It can be hard work on the road but it's very rewarding when you're on it. It's very planted and easily goes where you want it to. I forget how nimble it is and tend to go far too slow on slow corners as if I'm riding one of my adventure bikes.

It's fecking fast, sounds awesome and looks stunning.

I've sent emails off to MV and my local dealer about bubbles in the paint on the tank. By all accounts some bikes around the same age as mine have had the same issue. They start to appear well after the warranty date. MV have changed a few tanks in the States but seem to dig in in Europe. I'll have to see what the dealer says.
