I'd have one if I had 37K lying around. Looks a lot better in the flesh.

Fwiw I also love the Ducati Tricolore livery Monty. I think their final edition is a lovely blend of the Panini variants that had been on offer & I bet it does look even better in the flesh.
However Blade is a Superleggera man, he just needs to face up to the fact & stop fussing about a few quid. (nod)

First time that I can recall not liking the look of a Paningirly
... and the most unattractive use of a Martini livery IMHO ...

Those Mv's are pretty though. However given Blade's luck with untrackable issues........... :?

And go a bit further to the left too, just far enough so it's out of my field of vision.

But the MV...... Wibble.....

not a well executed martini livery at all , the MV is seriously sexy though .

I presume the bulk of the exhaust system on the MV is hidden in the bellypan but what you can see looks great , reminds me of the grenade launchers on the side of a tank , why don't other manufacturers do the same kind of thing , hide the necessary but bulky and ugly stuff in the bellypan and something more pleasing to the eye where its visible , I would have thought that would help lower the centre of gravity also .

If you've got the dosh - do it, that ZX has driven you nuts with the cutting out issues, a bit of German reliability and a fresh bike should set you up and provide some much needed de-stress therapy.

To be fair to Kawasaki, there aren't usually issues with the zx10r.

But an HP4 would be a riot
