Road Test: MV Agusta Brutale 910
By Roland Brown on 29/04/2008 21:57:58
MV's bonkers Brutale gets a big bore motor, a midrange boost and bags of added usefulness to boot. Roland Brown blags a ride and spills the beans.
It's late on a Friday afternoon near Varese, and I'm heading back to MV's factory after an enjoyable few hours aboard the latest Brutale. In no great rush, I'm making use of the four-cylinder motor's flexibility; short-shifting through the 'box

The latest and most exclusive bike in the F4 series is available - if you've got £30,000 to spare. Roland Brown rides the F4 Tamburini.
The fresh-off-the-production line MV Agusta I'm sitting on is special even by the standards of limited-edition, £30,000 superbikes. The last three digits of the frame number were 012, signifying this was the 12th of the 300 F4 1000 Tamburinis MV

First Ride: 2004 MV Agusta F4 1000S
By Roland Brown on 30/03/2008 20:30:04
With company finances back on track and production delays a thing of the past (for now...), the long awaited F4 1000S is finally, eventually, here. At last...
Long hailed as one of the gorgeous motorcycles ever, MV's F4 family of bikes has suffered from a lack of cc when compared to the competition with its capacity of only 749cc. The F41000s is here to make amends.I'm tonking along near-empty roads

By Roland Brown on 29/04/2008 22:54:13
Shiver my timbers, it's a new Moto Morini. But will this pirate sail the high seas or walk the plank to Davey Jones' locker?
You've got to be one hell of an optimist to invest a large wedge to set up an Italian bike firm. The list of famous marques that have recently hit financial problems, if not actually gone bust, ranges from Aprilia to MV Agusta, via Benelli, Bimota

Motorcycle Radar: 1978
By Roland Brown on 21/11/2010 15:16:22
In 1798 the French army entered Rome. Who's have thought it? However in 1978 the GS1000 was born. Unlucky for Kawasaki
but flawed creation was expensive, not very fast, and normally shook its rider’s teeth out before breaking down.END OF AN ERAWhile Japanese superbikes were going from strength to strength the opposite was true at legendary Italian factory MV Agusta, which
