G, your "future bike" will be awesome - I am most impressed…

I'm not a big sportbike fan, but I'll make an exception for this.

It's the Magni Filo Rosso. According to BikeEXIF, it's an MV Augusta Brutale triple, wrapped up in a reproduction chassis and body of a historic racer.

its not a gs 

[Graeme]

And how exactly is that a bad thing?

The R is reckoned to be a better road bike than the big GS. But I'm horribly biased.

[harley dave]

im looking for an 1150 gs ,not a 1200 i prefered my 1150 to the 1200 and ive had 11/13 of them ive lost count

[Bluegrass]

Good Lord, I thought I had issues - at least I can still remember the number of bikes I've had! 

[harley dave]

[summ3rhays]

52?  Woah

[harley dave]

[Graeme]

Oooh, what've you bought @harley dave ?

[Bluegrass]

Wow, "52" that is amazing and very cool…

Put 350 miles riding to Manhattan and back today to go to Self Edge… the battery on the bike decided today was the day to die so I got to push start the bike in Manhattan, ya know, you really haven't lived until you get to do that a couple times.

Shit that sucks, glad you made it home safely. Did you buy anything from SE to make the trip worth it?
