True .... 75 hp should be enough.
My Scrambler 800 had 66 whp and was tuned to an astonishing 72 whp, but the engine got a lot more fluid and easy to control now. The sound with the open ( i threw away the db-killer) ZARD exhaust might be a bit over the top but it’s soo much fun now.
It is fast enough to outrun a modern Porsche at the traffic lights, partly because you can really open the throttle 100% without the fear of doing a massive wheelie.
Unfortunately as i am a really tall person this particular bike is to small for me .... but fun nonetheless.
Pure madness !
All the bikes, except for the one at the end ( same as on the second pic) have over 200 hp. The world has gone mad, in normal circumstances i would celebrate this but since there seem to be more speedtraps than common sense in my home country all i can do...
Whicch MV is that ?
A friend of me bought this one last year ..... I will have a go on it as soon as the weather allows. ...
Lovely
I used to ‘hate’ MV because they looked like the 916 but now i know better. Next to Ducati and many others another fabulous Italian brand. Never sell it !
But people are heavier nowadays as well
That evens things out doesn’t it? And driving without license plates is ill-advised; cops see it straight away Better drive with plate nicked from your grumpy neighbor
I got heavier as well.
A sign of getting old i guess, as well as my longing for older stuff 😁. When i was ‘young’ i took off the plate more than once for several weeks, at one point there was a police car behind me and they didn’t even notice it .... or they didn’t bother 😁. Th...
Haha
With age comes wisdom At least that’s what they say coz I turned 30 (with 30 years experience) and still waiting for the wisdom to reveal itself

916 SPS
Ducati make some beautiful bikes. I used to own a 916 SPS, insane power, noise. A real beast it was. Lord knows what a Panigale supeleggera is like.
Back in the 90ies...
.... i used to ride my best friends’ 916 SPS on several occasions , as well as other examples from another friend owning the store . They were very fast compared to anything else on the road. Back in 2014 or so i took out a 1199 Panigale on the streets. M...
To be honest ...
In today’s politically correct climate I wouldn’t bet on loosing 60.000 Euros because I coincidentally took my Alpine up to speeds of over 200 km/h. Loosing my 35K Megane would already be sad enough .... but loosing a 10K Clio or Ducati would be ‘acceptab...
