One thing that always makes me smile about the Hyabusa: It'll do 90mph in first gear. Excluding the autobahn, that's every speed limit on the planet broken... before it leaves 1st gear.<br><br>The hooligan in me wants the 'Busa.<br>The artist in me wants the F4

It is such a shame MV has such financial and ownership trouble. F4's are not much more expensive than Duc or BMW, but ownership is impossible for most enthusiasts just due to lack of parts and service.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6zo6TOX3xc&t=270">4:30</a> I worked for Suzuki when the Hayabusa was introduced and are still amazed how few people know that Hayabusa is the Japanese Peregrine falcon who's main prey (food) is other birds I.e. Blackbirds!

I remember when Cycle World magazine was having their motorcycle of the year edition and MV Augusta took out an ad celebrating them winning. But someone at the magazine decided the best place to put said ad was pages before the article lol

End of the 80s into the 90s was such a special time for inline 4s

As an italian,hearing your final speech about how the fastest bike belonged to Italy made me proud of being from the same country as MV. Bimota,MV,Ducati,Aprilia,Garelli,Piaggio (even if their goal wasn’t top speed) are a pride for this countey,even if some of them sadly don’t exist anymore. Thank you for your videos,they are amazing

The MV Augusta F4-RR is one of the most refined motorcycles I've ever ridden.<br> I had the pleasure of test riding one to make sure I had fixed the owners complaint of clutch slippage at high rpm in 6th gear. 😀<br>200mph on an F4 feels like 160 on any other bike.

I had an 899, 1299 and a V4 Panigale and used to ride regularly with a guy on an original F4 and the second version. Very pretty and the howl was fantastic

Do I need a bike that can do over 190? Yes, Yes I do.

Its not about the top speed being dangerous, its the unbelievable power and acceleration of the bike that is capable of those speeds. A 200mph bike has FRIGHTENING acceleration

That just made me smile. Yeah extreme speeds on a bike are pointless but…… you know.
