There has been a significant change in my household in the last couple of months. Both my sons (24 and 22 years old) took a job with my son-in-law and moved out of state for what looks like a couple years. So that was a huge and sad change. We did a lot together including riding. The one silver lining to that is I now have a couple more bikes at my disposal. An MV Agusta 800 Rivale and an R1. The MV is a totally different riding experience. Like a dirt bike on the street and so light!! According to MCN 391 pounds. Impromptu drag racing result: Vmax huge hole shot, MV was reeling me in by 4th gear. Factory speed shifter on MV is helpful in that situation. Not a bike I could ride very far on but fun around town. The R1, a COMPLETELY different animal. Oh my gosh...it has been re-flashed, cat delete, tiny muffler, custom body work, factory electronics pulled from MOTO GP bike. I thought the Vmax was fast...holy smokes the R1 is ridiculous!! Thank God it has wheelie control, side slide control, ABS, blah, blah, blah and 4 customizable power modes, etc. Again, not a bike I could ride very far on (but I love riding it!!) and there's no way I, or many people, could ever utilize what this bike is capable of. After all that, if I had to pick one...nice knowing you MV and R1, now get out of my garage!!
