Wagner is a great dealer, they support racers and have a great service and parts department. Let me know when you are going to take a ride up there I will meet you...

Tell Mark I sent you.

while that bike looks sexy as hell from about 10 feet, as I got closer I was shocked at how bad some of the finish work is. The swing arm welds were AWFUL and the paint looked like orange peel. I hope it was just the one I saw

Yeah someone here just said the same thing about the paint and tank work, and he viewed the bike at razees

I viewed the bike at thw NY show and it looked a bit like the finish quality was off a bit. I put it down to the fact that thousands of people had been sitting on it and it had been crated and moved around to the various shows. Then I viewed one at a dealer last week and still was not impressed with the paint and general finish.

I have also seen a few dyno tests and the story that is emerging is definitely not one of 160HP. Wait and see time.

Cool, do you work here as well?

So Im gonna go see the 1098 and discuss some concerns about it.. then compare it to the new mv f41000r

[katana0215]

no I used to work there a few years ago (not in WG though I was in Coventry)

From what I saw from that Duc Im not impressed. If Im forking over that much money I dont want to be able to see imperfections in the paint, or sloppy welds. Thats just me though......Saw the F4 at the bike show a few weeks ago and it looked hot

Looking for feedback regarding this particular dealer. Worth doing business with? Favorable pricing? Competent service? Proficient at procuring parts?

Oh, yeah. That 1098 looks cool, for a Duc.

I may be a bit biased, but they have always been great to me. If you need a part, they will find it. Their service guys are constantly getting re-certified and do great work. The GM is a racer who knows some stuff about dyno tuning to say the least and has built some cool bikes.

Give me a call if you need any more info.

I am thinking of buying one, i have a mv 1000 f4 now(not happy with it), It has loads of power but low end throttle response sucks. I sold a 998 bostrom and wish i had it back, it was much more usable on the street.

[nefarious]

Well the deed is done!

[katana0215]

awesome, congrats
