Here, here, I'm a very happy owner as well.
The bike is stalling but the most frustrating part is that there’s no immediate solution only patience until a real solution is developed by DNA or my tech.
The bike is the best looking thing on two wheels. It was the same reaction when I first saw the MV but it's a twin so it's sexy on the inside too. The design continues to grow on me every day. I sat on my checkbook for years because I didn’t care for the 999 and can’t stand the boy racer neon-laser beams on most Japanese sport bikes. The style is clean, simple, aggressive, but 100% performance. No need to add laser beams and zig-zag zipper strips to the fairings to make it look faster.
The burbling back pressure coming from the pipes when you chop the throttle is the most magnificent sound I've ever hear from a machine - even dwarfs the sound of most 60’s muscle cars. Maybe because the sound originates from somewhere between my legs - but that’s all I’ll say about that.
It handles, like a superbike. Not easy – but the better inputs you give the bike it returns with exponential performance. If I wanted easy, I would have bought a VFR.
I honestly have so much fun on the twisty turns that the discomforts and nuisances of riding through the city, or in traffic, or trying to see anything behind me, or filling up every 120 miles, or having second degree burns on my arse, are instantaneously removed from my memory every time I hit the starter button.
Happy indeed,
