    Have one. Terrible ergo's. Spins up nicely and makes beautiful noises. Gorgeous to look at. All in all, a nice piece of pricey living room art.

    Nothing like the 1098S and FAR less user friendly than my RSV.

    Having owned an F4 312R from new I will give my honest opinion.
    To look at they are fantastic :


    They are fast and handle great at speed when you get the set up right!
    They overheat! my radiator almost eloded , it sent hot coolant everywhere straigh up the inside of the screen, the upper tank panel fell off, the wheel nut tightened itself up and trapping the security clip to the point where the nut had to be damaged to remove the wheel, the chain gaurd cracked and was flapping about , the exhaust pipe came loose, took MV 4 months to send a whole new exhaust for the sake of replacing one rivet , If its hot you will bake on one and compared to the latest bikes they feel slow to handle.
    I personaly wouldn't touch one with a barge pole again. but I still love the look of them.
    They truely are a bike where it all comes together at real fast speeds. I love them and hate them.
    They also need a water impeller upgrade asap as the stock one is pants!
    Just my opinion for what its worth!
