  1. Welcome and enjoy!
     
  2. When was the fuel filter last changed as well?
     
  3. Welcome dude :cool::upyeah:
     
  4. Wecome in, interested to hear your thoughts on how the MV is to ride. It looks like it’s a late 750 model? Does it kinda ride like a Ducati with a 4 cylinder engine as one would imagine or is it a bit different?

  5. Yes Paul filter was changed and fuel pipes were changed when tank was off doing coils and leads.As for the Mv Phill it is a 2004 750 evo3 model with 8000 miles I have had it 6 years, definitely not as comfortable to ride as the Ducati but that engine is superb it’s a very high revving motor which likes its neck wrong and the howl from it is glorious.
    Also the finish on the mv is slightly better than the 916 eg paint, fasteners etc but you could not choose between them as they are very similar in many respects

  11. Thanks Carr
     
  12. Like you I also have both the 916 and the MV. It's like having both Jenifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie. Slightly past their peak but you still would ;). Or Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise perhaps for those who prefer the male gender.

  16. My cousin had a 916 years ago and warned me that while its gorgeous etc it can not be considered as a means of transport ,i have a superlight and a 95 916 plus a 1100 sport guzzi ,you either love them and be broke or you flog them and buy a jap something or other . Once again you are so welcome,bins or no bins and your bikes are fab ....!
     
  17. Thanks Dave, yes it’s definitely not a main means of transport but the sound and looks are fabulous and it is great for Sunday blasts
