    Haha yeah....the MV is my pride and joy....I'd marry it if I could hahaha

    Yeah Im into the motard stuff....The husaberg I like particularly because the 450 i think it is puts out about 70 odd bhp and only weighs 120 kgs.....mmmm.....fun!

    450 Husaberg is 50-odd hp.

    70-odd HP will be the old FS650. Aprilia SXV550's are about the same.

    Apologies I was incorrect as you pointed out.

    Doesnt matter now anyway, the Amarok is off the list. I took one for a drive over the period of about an hour....My back was killing me, and it was very bouncy in the rear end.

    No what happened there? I bought a RSV4 at one stage, it was on order then I head about it's engine problems so I got rid of it.

    they came from the factory using a sealant that didn't work. Water in the oil, seizures etc. Resulted in a lot of bikes getting new motors. They eventually corrected the problem.

    i demand a photo of your bikes now!

    I've only got the MV =( The Aprilia was the first choice then I got the Brute when I heard about the motor problems with the RSV4. As for the Husky or Husaberg....I'm taking delivery of that when I settle down in Mackay =)

    Just for you though....

    It started with a DT175, then got a TT-r 250, then TT-r350 then the real bikes started



    That was the BM behind the Golf....that's gone =( It is the only picture I can find of the old girl

    Then I got the Guzzi...

    That was the Laverda Concourse


    I then had this on order....I know it's a google image but yeah I never saw it =( as I cancelled it before I took delivery


    I now own this




    And about to buy one of these except the road version with lights and all


    Not bad for a 23 year old huh hahaha
