Bike is a 2002 MV Agusta F4S, aka EVO2.
Always in a showroom in private collection, never riden, and has the upgrade RG3 race exhaust with improved eprom chip, SPR heat exchangers, and the original exhaust in a box.

Perfect condition, and still even has the whiskers on the rear tire.

TIM6 · 07-15-2009, 03:18 PM

Well im guessing by your screen name you drive a porsche.... with that a very rare bike that you have acquired, 2002 MV Agusta F4S.....so just a guess but i would say you got a couple bucks to blow..

so I would say let that bad boy sit in your house mint and clean. Go pickup a used F4 or something of that nature and rip that around.

my 2 cents

Word

TIM6 · 07-15-2009, 03:22 PM

Well just saw your list of porsches.....nice collection!

PM me if you ever need any parts! I work in porsche parts department

GoCaseyGo · 07-15-2009, 03:25 PM

Is this the bike that Kie has at Red Label Moto? If so, its gorgeous in EVERY respect!!!!! I heard him start it and the sound of that comp exhaust is AMAZING....I ride a 1098S with Termis and even I was was drooling.

vananator · 07-15-2009, 03:44 PM

ride! fo sho-is it rare? really rare? VAN

spolic · 07-15-2009, 03:47 PM

Trailer Queens = FAIL

Ride it.

Got a friend on the West side who had and road the MV Ago. (now has his second 998 Bostrom)

If you got it, flaunt it.

kmannth · 07-15-2009, 03:48 PM

Why did YOU buy it? Are you a collector or a rider?

This isn't your first bike right

I thought the Senna is the rare 02 model?

Fast Eddie 919 · 07-15-2009, 03:59 PM

Would you send me a $250.00 grocery store gift card?

>> $250 gift card...
Thats hilarious, thanks man :^)

>> Nice collection...Porsches
Thanks a lot! I have a thing for the water-cooled Porsches, and yeah I think they're nice too! PM me about the parts though...

>> Red Label...

YES! This was Kie's bike! He's a friend and I can't say enough nice things about the guy, and I fell in love with it the first time I saw it... I bought it because I wanted it, without a plan as to ride it or boner over it. Yes, the Senna is one of the rare ones, but they're all rare in the 750s anyway, in my opinion.
No, this is not my first bike, read my intro post: "New bike, new rider"

TrippyZippy · 07-16-2009, 09:09 PM

Is it similar to this? This is a filthy lookin bike bro.

audis4gasm · 07-16-2009, 09:28 PM

thats a porsche killer unless ur driving like a GT2. def ride it if you're pretty good and know how to ride.
1098 is only Ducati I like though too..thats awesome. props to casey and barry =)

TRAIL BOSS · 07-16-2009, 09:29 PM

Ride the effin thing, Nancy. If you've got the scratch to buy it, you should have the cash to replace it if you wad it up.

The whole point of motorcycles is to enjoy riding them. If you want moto art, buy a picture.

billyocean · 07-16-2009, 09:32 PM

congrats on the MV. Damn, this is your second post about your new bike. We get it, you have a great bike. Give it a rest guy, some of us aren't as fortunate with the finances as you Mr. Porsche.

Ed Who? · 07-16-2009, 09:38 PM

RIDE THAT BITCH!!! I have an MV Brutale and it is the best bike i have owned (thats saying a lot if you know me/my shop!) check out the track day pics from 2Fast yesterday.

Come on...RIDE IT! Best thing about bikes is RIDING THEM!

Grantizzle · 07-16-2009, 10:23 PM

if you own it and don't ride it, you don't deserve to have it.

Willow · 07-16-2009, 10:30 PM

Ride ride ride......................................ride it

Porsche Barry · 07-17-2009, 01:49 PM

Billyocean:
Take it EASY! Jeez... Put down the hatorade. I only put up two because I figured I should have made a poll about it to get the opinion of other riders in the first place.

Grant:
I wouldn't go so far as to say that if I dont ride it, I dont deserve it. I admire the bike like any other enthusiast (not just some guy who buys a pretty bike because it looks cool), and if I choose to preserve one, then props to me for having the restraint to keep that bike new and pristine.
But, I dont have the restraint, and I'm going to ride that bitch.

For the record, I'm just a regular guy with particular taste, and money is separate, not to be linked with what I own. I wasn't a silver-spoon kid, trust fund baby, didn't get a dime from relatives, and earned everything I acquired. So, I dont wanna be labeled as the 'rich Porsche guy' or anything.
Whenever I get to meet some of you guys, you'll see I'm a pretty laid-back and open guy, no d-bagedness here, just a real-deal gear head :^). I wanna make that crystal clear to anyone who may have the wrong idea, like Grant & Billy ;^)

So, thanks again for everyones' thoughts and comments, I really appreciate all of your opinions!

that's nice...i'm glad to hear ur not a d-bag...lol, pics of the bike?...u know people's decisions on the poll might be different if there was a little visual stimulation!...see and technically you can't even put "I Ride: MV Agusta F4S" on your profile since you haven't!...lol

Good man!! Just like a hot girlfriend you never have sex with. Just Wrong!! You don't have to ride it everywhere, everyday, in the rain. Bring it out occasionally. Even at HotRod car shows most still drive them there.

If I were you I would still get a "daily rider" bike to rack up the miles. Ride the Agusta just to know how it rides and to experience it. Life is about experiences.

Can't wait to see it at the meets.

L8r bro,

Elwood · 07-17-2009, 02:26 PM

Your info says "I ride: MV F4" so ride it. The people that made it made it to ride. Ride the thing.

EvergreenVFR · 07-17-2009, 04:40 PM

Ride it!!!!!!!!!!!!

KillermondoDude · 07-17-2009, 04:58 PM

it all depends on how you visualize it
Is it art
or is it a fancy bitch your gonna flog the shit out of so sexy that if you had a trophy wife shed get jealous?

I always said if i came into money id get a 999r ride it through Europe and stop in Sweden and have HR Giger paint it then it would go from the well ridden bitch to the put on a pedestal art piece

and if anyone bitched about it id say "Go fuck yourself"

Dr E · 07-17-2009, 05:21 PM

You were living before you had the bike, you'll be living long after you get rid of the bike. If you bought her to make money off of, leave it in your living room and it is a great coffee table. However, one of the coolest things to see is a totally tricked out machine, I don't care what kind, anything that is either rare or with boat loads of cash dumped into it being used for what it was built for.

How many times have you seen a rare car going down the road like the devil himself is chasing it. Guy driving it is getting everything out of it he can (given it is not stolen). You remember those occasions and they stick with you the next time you see someone grampa'ing the same car around you go "what a waste of a great car, bike...what ever"!

Well, this bike is exactly the same way, you worked for you money to pay for her, get the most enjoyment out of those bucks that you can. Personally, I give props to somebody who really does walk the walk they talk about.

I would also say, throw some track tires on her and run her around a few of the track days. There are a lot of us that enjoy seeing that kind of bike run a course. No, you don't have to be there to set track times, but hey, you can open her up and feel her breath like she was built for with no popo there to take her away.

Take care and hope to see you on the road!

xx8055NIACxx · 07-17-2009, 06:15 PM

nice bike no doubt, I live just up the street from R Beach

post some pics of your cars, might have seen your 928 last week

Y2K · 07-17-2009, 06:43 PM

Ride ride ride!

Porsche Barry · 07-17-2009, 07:42 PM

Alright, its time to pop the MV's cherry and ride it for the first time in it's life!

I'm going to meet up with my father (he rides an '08 BMW K1200S) and see how this thing performs. I'm sure it will be awesome, and I'll be sure to let you know!

Here are some pics as it sits before its first inaugural ride...

TrippyZippy · 07-17-2009, 07:50 PM

Soooo cool of a bike man!!!!

Porsche Barry · 07-17-2009, 10:25 PM

So, I rode it...

I should have paid admission for that...

Every time I jerked the throttle I flew back and hit the seat back... Damnit I love that bike!

A few thoughts:
Don't ride it in the city.
I kept hitting my arms and smashing my thumbs into the tank in turns during tight turns from a stop.
Your ass will be on fire from that exhaust until you get cruising and the bike drops below 190 degrees, which it never does in city.

This is a serious machine, and I actually underestimated it!
The gear changes are incredible, the power is great, but the real thing on this bike is the sound out of that race exhaust. F me, under load its wicked...

You guys need to hear it, ill try and bring her out to the xxx show on thursday.

Jeez. I'm still smiling and I've been off it for an hour :^).

TrippyZippy · 07-18-2009, 11:16 AM

Hey Barry,

http://www.sportbikes.net/forums/zzr...ies-ticks.html

Check out the thread above. It is highly controversial subject. Basically it's about one engine builder stating that he runs his engines hard during the break in period. Supposedly it seats the rings properly. Thought you might be interested.

~TZ

richmeyer · 07-19-2009, 01:35 PM

Glad you rode the fuckin thing. Now keep riding it. Stored bikes are sad bikes. Trust me.

Porsche Barry · 07-19-2009, 04:33 PM

Hey TZ,
funny you mention that article, thats something I read years ago (or so) and its how I'm choosing to break in the MV.

Too bad I threw out my back (again) yesterday or I'd be riding it right now! I'm still going to XXX on thursday no matter what though, I'll just pop some pills and deal with it ;^)

denydog · 07-19-2009, 06:25 PM

Two threads, why the drama? Frankly I don't care what you do with your bike, and I doubt you care what I think anyway.

Porsche Barry · 07-19-2009, 10:04 PM

You're right, I dont care that you dont care, but thanks for sharing ;^)
Two threads was explained already. But for those just tuning in...
The first was a hello, and the 2nd was to make a poll, which I should have done in the first place, but I had already made the thread.

No drama unless others make it.

shelbyguy · 07-19-2009, 10:15 PM

all your yapping.

why make a poll about riding your bike to a bike forum.

knowing everyone will say "ride it"

now bring it to a track day.

plz

Thought you might be interested. ~TZ __________________ Follow PNW Riders on Facebook and Twitter

Too bad I threw out my back (again) yesterday or I'd be riding it right now! I'm still going to XXX on thursday no matter what though, I'll just pop some pills and deal with it ;^) __________________ Follow PNW Riders on Facebook and Twitter

Frankly I don't care what you do with your bike, and I doubt you care what I think anyway. __________________ Follow PNW Riders on Facebook and Twitter Last edited by denydog; 07-19-2009 at 06:27 PM..

But for those just tuning in... The first was a hello, and the 2nd was to make a poll, which I should have done in the first place, but I had already made the thread. No drama unless others make it. __________________ Follow PNW Riders on Facebook and Twitter
