Oh Man Oh Man!!! I'm a 998 owner and recently purchased a MV...as beautiful as the MV is, the inline 4 never got my blood going...BUT the inline 4 on the MV is something else!!!! The SOUND!!! THE SOUND!!! This IS a 2 wheel Ferrari ( engine is the real thing)..it is not as quick on the low end as my Duc, but get to 8k and up and its the ride of your life. I have owned other inline 4's, but this is really special. So the bike is much more than a pretty face.

Incredible!

02' Diamonte 02' 998 01' SS900

Cheers!

I absolutely agree. For me, twins lack excitement. And I love that wail that the MV makes.

I think of an inline 4 as being shot out of a big slingshot. Below the "hit" is like being pulled back in the rubber band. Then whe it hits, you just accelerate and go. What fun!
