I had an MV F4 1000 for about 6 months, once the looks wore off I regretted buying it so I sold it for another Ducati. I likened it at the time to going out with Jordan, great for a quick hard ride but the novelty soon wore off.

The Fuelling was awful - coming off a roundabout I would turn the trottle slightly and nothing would happen so turn it a bit more and suddenly it would take off with what felt like another 50 -60 bhp making the bike almost impossible to ride in the wet without highsiding. The suspension wasnt great either (Marzochci front and Sachs rear - a bit like riding a pogo stick on uneven roads

Also you couldnt blip the throttle on downshifts because it had an "electronic slipper clutch"

My one was on of the first in the Country so they might have sorted out these issues by now

It not a true riders bike in my opinion
