I looked at an Mv augusta at The Honda shop last week, the salesman informed me that it was fitted with a GSXR1000 motor.
I dont know about that, Ive googled about the net and couldnt find an answer, anyone care to shed some light?
I though only Bimota used Suzuki motors and MV Augusta had their own.
Sorry to hijack your thread, bikes look fantastic, just thought if your an MV fan youd be in the know about these things.

They in fact use a modified Ferrari Formula 1 engine, essentially cut in half. That's why the cover is in red (as an acknowledgement to Ferrari). There's plenty of info on it if you do a search. Try and find the video of them building the engines using an oven to keep the final tolerances low."He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt.

cough cough... what?
The MV F4 750 was 'based' on the GSXR 750 engine, with significantly different head, with radial valving and design assistance from Ferrari
The F4 1000 is a true MV agusta engine, not based on anything else.
The red rocker cover is only on the R models and upwards - the S models do not have a red rocker cover.Commander Keen and Shady 7/8 are doing the Kiwi Shitbox rally 2016 as the Dropkick Dropbears- donate here to help us change cancer!

Take a look on youtube for MV Agusta factory, you should find a vid on the MV factory and how their engines are assembled by hand in Italy.

A muppet bike, but as you may well know, you don't get a choice with the 250's, I couldn't be bothered rebuilding a 2 stroke every 10,000 k's, so I just caved in and bought a bike I could re-sell in 365 days... What makes people the muppets, is going that road when they have the wide-range choice and still do it...

By 'muppet bike' do u mean 'squid bike'? 8 or so years ago I would agree that the GSX-R thou was the squid bike of choice (R1 before that) these days I'm not sure if that really applies to any bikes, maybe Ducatis that get ridden once a month to the cafe and back?
