Hi,

I'm currently making an effort to list all? magazines that have had a test with MV Agusta F4. (Sorry, not the Brutale). You are welcome to contribute with what you have/know. All languages welcome.

Greetings Nils- Let me save you some time. "Handles great. Needs more power. If looks could kill you would already be dead." There's all your magazine road test's in a nut shell.

Tim, that may be a little simplistic, but I understand the point. An alternative summary, which I agree with having just finished a long country ride of my Senna No. 246 with the RG3 exhaust freshly fitted, was given by Dario Franchitti of CART fame who goes 200+mph 12 inches from a concrete wall for a job in an interview at the Australian MotoGP this year when he described the performance of his MV Senna as "terrifying".

On the substantive point, two excellent articles providing a little more practical and test detail than the emotional ramblings of most "test" article writers come up with is the Superbike Mag article referred to in the threds on 2002-10-10/ 2002-10-11 and the excellent article with performace test results referred to in answer to my question "Performance figures on a Senna" 2002-10-20.

I look forward to the list.

Thanks Tim and Brian,

I guess I know how it handles (Just from reading) :) You can get a pretty good "picture" in the magzines.

But I'm one of those dreamers that right now are collecting magazines and everything with a MV logotype. Sure want a real MV someday. I guess I have to settle for a 2nd hand one.

And where I live there is a quite short summer so we need to read a lot during wintertime not to get mad. Hopefully the list will help others like me to at least be able to read about th F4.

Although I own one I love to collect these articles as well. just for the rainy cold freezing days next to my own pictures.
