Let me clear some things up Steve.

1. Yes, back in 2000 (or was it 99...people new nothing about MV's) other then ads etc. I remember riding it around with my TLR plate because I couldnt get it registered. Can't tell you how many people asked what the heck it was Ended up selling it to the importer of high end watches in AZ

I dunno, buddy. Around here any biker outside of the fringed-leather Harley crowd could tell you what an MV was.

2. Come on now.... Yes it went from a 750 to a 1000 to the new 312 which is a hell of a bike but the design bike still looks pretty much the same.

Kind of like a Porsche 911?

I owned a bike shop (as I'm sure you've read elsewhere) and appreciate each and every one. From my old RD400 Daytona to my first sportbike in High School. Had Muzzy build my ZX7R back in 1990 and built a zx7rr in 94.

I know you did and I love you, man. I enjoy the thread on your build, just messin' with you. I strongly disagree that this is "the same bike with differnt paint..." that's just crazy.

I love them all and I'll have a pretty rare MV pretty soon to park in my Game room but lets face it...time for a makeover. Aren't you the one with teh Red and Silver one? I tried to buy that Batman Edition one that was on Ebay a few months ago but the guy was CRAZY!!! $40K, he was dreaming!

I am the one with the Red/Silver. Time for a makeover? Did you even read the text I posted above from the MVusa site? Oh and let's not forget that this company is small and underfunded, just got jettisoned by Harley and may not be around in six months <sigh>.

There is more than one Batman edition, I believe. But I dunno, $40k does not sound too much to me when CCs, etc go for much more. So, I leave you with this, the latest incarnation of the fastest production motorcycle in the world:
