Spoiler: the MV comes last.

MV never do well in group tests do they. Does that match your experience?

It does have a raw edge to it, which I like. Too many bikes now have no character.

It's weird, because a lot of things they're saying about it in negative terms are the things I like. It's focused, raw, engaging and it makes you want to ride at silly speeds.

The sx goes fast. The MV sounds and feels like it's going fast because you're involved in the ride.

Yeah I get that.. I guess that's inline with my belief in the ZX6R being an excellent track tool but it's not a great road bike. It's why I'd want a V4 or Triple with torque for a road bike, something more exciting than a generic I4

FYI ^ that sounds rather like you're specifying the incomparable D675 Cav

Well it does with your editing

The D675 wasn't quick enough which was surprising as they often had 8-10bhp more than mine. Also I'm thinking 1000 territory
