Tricky...Although I don't have any experience of MV's,I think it needs to be remembered that owning an Italian bike is more than just about outright performance (well it is to me at least!).The SPR is a beautiful bike by any standards,and will still be something very special in years to come.Sure,if you performance test one back to back against the 1000cc MV,then I'm certain that there will be a difference.,but you could never call the 750 slow.Anyway,isn't it nice to have something a bit different.As lovely as Ducatis are (and I never want to have to sell mine!),they are a fairly common sight on a sunny sunday blast.I think you'd be pretty unlucky if you saw another SPR pull up next to you at the lights

. Just my thoughts........
