Ducati's.. MV's.. are all lovely to look at. But beyond being treated gently as pieces of art.. I cannot rely of them. That goes for exotics in nature. Even if I was rich I'd lease a Ferrari for the experience but past that I wouldnt be interested in owning one over an extended period of time.
How do you blow a transmission on a bike.. I didnt even know that was possible. And then how does your back up bike blow its engine?? and this is just tire testing!! I hate to see the real races.
Even worse the motors are tweaked internally! They are superstock motors in superbike chassis. As far as I am aware superstock legal motors are the most basic of bolt on upgrades.
I see why the MV has essentially be the same damn design for the past 9 years but you never see many racing.

Ferracci's crew works on Luca Scassa's injured MV.
image by dean adamsThe early buzz from the MV Agusta Superbike effort here at Daytona has suffered a blown amplifier.
The engine in the bike being ridden by MV factory rider Luca Scassa popped on the front banking this morning at 10:45 AM. Both of Scassa's bikes are now back in the Daytona garage while Ferracci's crew repairs or replaces.
Earlier another of Scassa's machines suffered an injured transmission.
Ferracci said that the engines he has for this test are essentially Superstock-spec in Superbike chassis.
