Re: MV adventure bike
It looks very vanilla. I was expecting something a bit more, I don't know, MV.

15% heavier than the Tiger 900, and looks just like pretty much everything in that sector imho.
You'd expect an alloy frame perhaps, and some of those neat little MV style touches.

Re: MV adventure bike
Apparently it's a reworking of a QJ Motors bike that has also robbed a few parts from Benelli along the way.....which probably doesn't bode well.

Re: MV adventure bike
It might be a few kg heavier than the Tiger but it's got 50% more power.
This is the prototype test mule. I don't think MV have released any official photos of the final product.

Re: MV adventure bike
So did I.
I just read an article that seemed to say that MV designed the motor & QJ Motors were building it.
But the article was bouncing between the two bikes (9.5 & 5.5) and I may well have misread it.
And now I can't find it again. Grrrr!

Re: MV adventure bike
Does this sort of bike appeal? Purely from an aesthetics point of view. I'm open to the looks of most bikes but I struggle with this one.

Re: MV adventure bike
I quite like it....at least in black. It gives off a kinda cool retro vibe.
But if they start painting it in naff faux Paris-Dakar color schemes they won't be doing it any favors.
