Don't you sell car wax for a living or something? Seems like you should be a stand up comic at an engine tuning shop, you could probably make more money.

No jerk! Another prime example of Andrew's ADD brain. I told you like 3 times already but "for the record" Ill tell you what I do for a living for the 4th time. I work in a Logistical Warehouse as a Forklift operator for a chemicals manufacturing company that makes Automotive and motorcycle related chemicals for companies such as Honda Motor Corporation among others. But you were probably too busy smoking crack to pick up on that the first 3 times I explained what I do for a living. And yes I am a pretty funny guy and thats why I get more Female tail in one night then you get Homo A-holes in a year. And so far I have proven that I know more about racing engines then you do because I have never seen you post one single piece concerning the mechanics of a racing engine whether it be fixing a racing motor that runs like crap down low or figuring out how to remap the ignition on an F4. And you still refuse to post anything that points to the contrary. Maybe your info is just too good and too much for us mere mortals too understand.
And see even your buddy over there that knows you says that you are crazy!!!
Dude I thought you were going to go away to save this Forum from your flaming comments. Guys, can we please get back to the topic now that this Idiot has been handled.

How weird...I have a buddy that is in Logistics management, and is currently manager for a facility in Chicago that pimps radio flyer wagons, and Turtle wax.....

As for the F4 being Homologated for Superbike. That would be awesome! However, I doubt we will see that happening in AMA anytime soon. BUT, as mentioned in my first post, seeing the MV adjusted for track racing in superstock via the AMA could be an exciting, and inexpensive way for them to test some waters (well, less expensive than superbike).

The clock at MV is most likely the ultra expensive F4 100 limited prod. model ($125,000 MV Production Bike?).

PS, let's put the hostility of the past...in the past, and talk about why we're actually here, bikes.

Thanks

Thanks Joe. Boy I cant wait to see whats under that clock. And just to let you know, Im normally not the hostil type, and I have tried to make ammends with this guy before, but he is just simply the A-hole type that will not want to make ammends so that is why I have been carrying this with me, and to be quite honest with you this forum will be much better off without him posting his "I know more then you" or I should say "you dont know anything" comments. But thanks for sticking to topics and as long as that guy doesnt post anymore derogatory or off the subject comments I promise to do the same. And if this guy does come back with his BS maybe you should tell him to get lost too. This is YOUR thread. You would be doing the rest of us a service.

I think it was homologated for superbike... Or there were intentions of doing it anyway. One of the MV superstock riders, Luca Scassa (skaluca) is registered on the MV board and gives us some news once in a while. He's saying that he's probably going to be testing a bike in the US sometime in November. There are a few guys "in the know" over there who might be present too.

The news I read was that Ferracci was going to have a superstock rider and superbike, superstock being Scassa.

I'll be there to see a race if it works out.

I thought they had one (Full bore SBK) somewhere, but I can't seem to find it no matter how much I scour the 'net.

However, I did find:

2006 Superstock Imola
Race 1 - 12 Laps
1. Brendan Roberts Suzuki AUS 23'4.667
2. Alessandro Polita Suzuki ITA 0'0.538
3. Claudio Corti Yamaha ITA 0'0.624
4. Ayrton Badovini MV Agusta ITA 0'2.939


Although not a clear "race bike" still a hell of an MV....(sorry, picture looks to be flipped).

Something along this line would do well matted against say...an R1, or a GSX-R1000....



F4 1000 Veltro Pista

The Veltro Pista is strictly a track bike and is not road legal. It is a limited edition of 23 units, and is available as a special order only. The Veltro Pista makes significantly more power and torque than the standard F4 with a far broader spread of power. The engine is equipped with the TTS Torque Shift system first featured on the Tamburini, but this time mated to a full race motor. The rest of the bike features a programmable race tacho, electronic quick shifter, and many other super exotic race components and materials that combine to shed 33kg to bring the weight down to that of a racing superbike. This adds up to a top speed of 191 MPH and an incredible power to weight ratio of over 1 BHP/Kilo.

Features:

- 185 HP (@ crank) at 12100 - Lim. 13000 r.p.m.
- TSS Torque Shift system (variable length inlet tracts)
- Electronic Power Shift, cassette style six speed, constant mesh
- Fully programmable racing dashboard
- Swingarm, frame plates, bottom yoke, in magnesium alloy
- Tank, airbox, and body panels all carbon fibre
- So damn sexy you will leave your wife (added that myself)

Sure you will buddy ,
And I bet you'll be in the paddocks with the AMA Ferracci guys too.
I'll be there in the Factory Honda Paddock, as I got invited as a guest to any of next seasons AMA races through a connection at my work. I've been to the American Honda Factory Garage in Torrance on several occasions and I sat and watched them work on a CBR600RR Formula Extreme Bike on one occasion and a CRF450 on another. So I'll pick a Superstock day to go and I guess Ill see you there.

There were some wins too. Check out Brands Hatch for example, Scassa 1st, Badovini 3rd. The bike seems capable.

The Veltro has been out a while, and I don't think it's been seen on the track in a race? It's kind of an odd tangent, I'm not really sure what it's purpose was. It doesn't seem like a superbike homologation platform, there aren't enough of them, and I don't think it is street legal... Cool bike though.

You know, I love motorcycles, and the MV bikes are no exception, but for some reason when I hear you talk about them you take something away from them like someone taking the color out of a painting or the surround sound out of a movie. Dam Andrew how the hell do you manage to kiil it so badly??
Maybe a better understanding of agressive cam profiles on racing engines, or perhaps you should really go to MMI. Im sure it would spark some more life into your view on motorcycles. Boy if you ride like the way you talk about bikes its amazing how you ever finish an amateur club race. Yeah, do us a favor, go to MMI, and then post about bikes. It sure is a hell of alot better then killing us all with your boring posts.

Maybe you can just give us lessons here? MMI/Wyotech isn't local for most of us unfortunately. I think we all participate in these time consuming communities to learn.

I don't support anyone's banning but you overstepped you ability to converse on several occasions. I can see why some who were the object of your odd attacks would be unhappy. I've found the best way out of an uncomfortable situation is to stick to the subject at hand and show what you know rather than resort to off hand comments - it proves nothing and will likely dig your hole deeper..as it did on .net.

Mike and I have had years of email exchanges on MV ignition timing and several conversations involved a noted expert, Doug Lofgren on one of the old forums to help us all understand what they found. I think you misunderstood his polite regard for your input Going back to the thread, this is what Andy was pointing out for you.

Hopefully some day you can provide more input and we can all arrive at a better understanding of the bikes (and their owners). It's wrong of you to speak ill of the entire forum in my opinion. This is adult conversation.

Hey James! Good day to you!
Yeah, I wish I could have provided input over there without having the likes of Andrew always having to post his "And what makes you the expert?" type of comments. So how do you like it now Andrew when someone does the same thing to you? Well now that you got alittle taste of your own medicine I'll subside here unless you want to come back with the same attitude. Oh and by the way I did know Cory Lidle and I did play in the same little league as him (contrary to what Andy the A-hole thinks), and yes he is older then me. We didnt play in the same division cuz he was older then me. I was in T-ball when he was in the 12 year old division. My dad did work in the snackstand with his mom and we went to baseball Bar-B-ques together and all that great stuff so YES I did know him. Sorry but I just had to Vent cuz the .net forum had a thread going on about the late Yankee Pitcher's plane crash and someone made some distastefull comments, and even after I went on there venting my disgust about what Andrew had said and letting them know that Cory Lidle was my friend, they still came back and said more distasteful things and then Andy accused me of being a liar, and the Admin Cut me off again (not that I care anymore at this point). Can you beleieve that!!!
So there you go. Thats why I say what I say about Andy the A-hole and those other 4 guys who seem to have it so tight with the Admin or vice versa or however it works over there with those Jerks.. Cuz its TRUE. Thats what I like about this Forum compared to the other one. Youre not forced to bend over and take it in the butt by guys like Andy, and the like, because of being afraid of being banned by the admin which takes me to my next point.
When the head Admin of a Forum is unfair and one sided, it doesnt make for a good admin or a good All Around Forum. I have nothing against MV enthusiasts nor the great majority of the other .net website's members, Its just a very small group of 4 or 5 of its regular forum inhabitants which happen to include the Admin because of the position he took siding with the other 4 Jerks, and that shows you the character of the Admin. Birds of a feather right? Everyone else is ok. By the way is that your MV Blogspot James? If it is then I just want to say that it looks like a good scource of wealthy MV info. It looks like a website that would be really useful to me someday should I decide to buy an MV. There is no deficiency in maturity with me. If you read between the lines it doesnt take much to see the lack of maturity lies with Andrew, the Admin of the other .net forum, and the other 4 members. Not only are they immature but they are bad representations of what good human beings are suppose to be, no matter what anyone else may have to say about them to the contrary.
Thats pretty much it in a nutshell.
Now that thats out in the open, Back to the topic shall we...
Lets see... Where were we before I rudely interupted this thread. LOL! J/K
Andrew had it coming to him.
Oh yeah...MV Agusta in Superbike. I have a feeling that '08 is going to be the year that they Homologate, or at least enter into FIM World Superbike. I know Aprilia and KTM will be entering with all new bikes. Aprilia with the soon to be new V-4, and KTM with their new V-twin. If MV does enter then it will be a great year for World Superbike. If fast by Ferracci does race MV's in AMA it wont be against KTM's or Aprilias.

PS. I still think the countdown clock on the MV.com website has something to do with them entering World Superbike. If not that then its just a countdown to the release of the World Cup Brutale. Whatever the case may be, we will all find out in just under 1 month.

Wow, I re-read one of the above posts and I didn't realize what a big fat jerk I am. I'll apologize in advance before I say anything in the future I suppose...

That news on superbikeplanet may have had something to do with a post made to www.mvagusta.net by one Luca Scassa (Skaluca)

I'm not exactly sure what thats suppose to mean,
but ok whatever...
Oh, by the way...the countdown clock on MV.com is in line with the Milan show on Nov 13 so MV is obviously unveiling something new at the upcomming event.
Only question is what bike is it???? Hmmmmm.....?????
