I love my 1098 standard, completley happy with it. I'll never buy another brand of cycle ever! I was driving to Dunbar Motor sports today to pick up some oil and a filter. I finally had the chance (after the break-in) to open the bike up a bit on 495 (hit 166 mph today), it's un-real how much torque the bike has. Up around 8k rpm there's a powerband that I felt unlike on any of my other bikes..............and the exhaust note????????/ Boohyaaa!

Would never pay up for the Tri-color though. I'm not even crazy about that paint job, I've always been partial to red.


Cheers,
Yeah I love my MV. As for the Tri-colore it also comes with a race exhaust in addition to the street legal one. I almost bought one but the MV fit and finished had it all over the Duc
