interesting wheels, they look almost identical to the Marchesini forged alloys on my MV (bit of a price difference I expect though):

Nice! The red looks great on the black, too! (mental note to self...)
The bolt pattern's quite different, though!

Have I mentioned how much I hate you for owning an MV Clip?

I think you have mate

The acceleration is mind blowing! Out accelerates both R1 and Z1000 to 200k/h. It's got so much torque with the hp that it''ll accelerate in 6th gear from 70k/h to 200 in just over 8 seconds (compared to z1000/r1 about 11 seconds, and duc streefighter S about 14).

go grab one. You only live once

"09 Feb 2011 09:01:36 Sydney Shipment Released From Customs.
08 Feb 2011 07:21:35 Sydney Held For Government Inspection. Release At First Opportunity.
07 Feb 2011 19:22:20 Sydney Shipment Awaiting Physical Release From Customs Controlled Area."

Wishful thinking: 'maybe they will turn up tomorrow...'
