MVs are known for many wonderful things. They make fabulous noises, handle on rails, have astounding power almost everywhere, there is more than enough lore around the brand, and they’re sexy as hell and exclusive to top it off. But in true Italian fashion, they are not generally known for being the world’s most reliable…
Naked-sports wouldn’t want to be left out of the absurd-power sweepstakes, and MV Agusta showed how it’s done with the Brutale 1090RR. While the theoretical top speed is more fun to discuss, the torque available from the big four is what makes it a joy on the road. This example is nicely accessorized and offered…
2011 Bimota Oro Nero with 5 miles on ebay Back in the early days on RSBFS there was an ongoing debate about what made a bike a true rare sportbike and was mostly centered around Bimota models such as the SB6 which seemed to be available on eBay pretty much constantly. Some claimed that any…

Compared to more specialized Agustas, the 750S or Strada used little carbon or magnesium but imprinted a very sporty feel and sound on the…
Buying an exclusive commemorative, one would hope for a low-mile example. This F4 Senna has but delivery miles and has never been registered. Its rarity is enhanced by the as-new condition. 2007 MV Agusta F4 Senna with 85 miles ! Recalling the great Formula 1 champion and benefiting his charity for children, the MV Agusta…
