My new toy :)

[Killpatrickyum]

Hey all
Really need to get back on here and update everything as well as get involved with what's going on .. Kinda slipped since I started my business and haven't had anywhere near as much free time but I just thought I'd share my new toy with you all bit of a step up from the 88

Ill try get a bit of a review for those who might be interested ; it's a "13" MV Agusta Brutale B3 675 and its completely insane
The computer is tech crazy with a million different modes , launch control , quick shift options , you can custom set mapping for torque curves and engine braking and the list goes on its a hand built piece of porn n I'm super stoked might have to beaf up the old mojo might feel a bit weird jumping off this
N back on the pity's

Awesome lad what can I say but I'm happy for ya and ride, ride like the wind bullseye. But stay safe brother.

 

[Killpatrickyum]

Staying safe guys but I'm still on super wet and traction control , tomo I'm putting her into normal ' n reducing the tc a few notches we will c how I go lol

Iv just found about another 15 carbon pieces for her , anyone want to sponsor the bling lol ?

 

[zwebx]

What tyres you got on there?

 

[8r3nd0]

Pirelli angel st tyres they are damn good tyres so I've heard a mate runs them, there's a angel design in the tread that turns into a devil with horns when they are low.

Nice man, welcome to road bikes, now u get to see how much bikes can cost, especially being an Italian . Noticed all the thumbs up u were giving on the f3 vids on utoob and was wondering what was doin, now I know . U got the best roads in aus down their for a roadie too. Well done mate n nice choice

 

[motorman]

Nice on Roy. Obviously business is going really really well? lol

How much did it set you back?

 

[dynamicgs]

Nice bike! Whats the point of turning the traction control off though? You trying to drift the thing?
Ive owned a number of road bikes over the years, and apart from doing the odd burnout, I cant think of one instant where I would like to lose traction...

Go do a track day Sure it's probly no great to do so (lap time wise), but it certainly gets heart racing

 

[dynamicgs]

Lose traction on the front.. it gets the heart racing for all the wrong reasons!

 

[Killpatrickyum]

lol just want to give it a go n lock the back coming into corners n stuff lol its a hella nice bike although a few gremlins in the ecu lurking with a clutch switch fault yesty... apparently a dirty contactor on the lever ill hope for the best that all these electronics don't cause headaches other than that I love it, nick was bout 15k but I know the bloke at the shop I went to school with him so got all my gear for zilch n a bit off the bike =) didn't put it through the business im not raking it in just yet =)

Welcome to the world of Italian bikes, beautifull design, beautifull handling, spectacular motor We ah not so good a with a the electronics Mario LOL and be carefull of the side stand, i have heard these can be tempremental at times too. P.S when you heading up this way so we can go for a ride??

 

[Killpatrickyum]

I'd love to ride with u but really don't know when I'm getting any time away from work to do a big trip at the mo buddy and I'm tipping they won't let us have a crack at the next vcm u attend

The stand ?? Will it bight me or something ? Lol or u mean they can decide , meh this is heavy I'm out "

It is incredibly sexy
It's tame enough to cruise
It's asks you to make it scream just dying to go all the time
It handles perfecto
It pulls up on a dime

But the electronica as you say mario ... Yet to be seen ill keep u posted brother

 

[Killpatrickyum]

Went for a squirt on Normal mapping and instantly felt different the throttle response and the gearbox feels like sex at 7-8 it felt like there was little Italian workers meshing together in a almost velvet jelly type experience I think I just got in lightened lolol and I still have two more maps to go !!!!

 

[gottagetacheaperhobby]

we need some video footage of this weapon being ridden

 

[Killpatrickyum]

Ill get a helmet cam in the next weeks or so

It's all down to whether you want to lose traction intentionally... I can think of plenty of occasions that losing traction intentionally has been a riot

Screw 'locking the brakes into corners', you need a nice drag on the rear break with a heavy handed down shift and it'll slide without locking so you can open the throttle on exit to slide.

Should be an absolute blast of a ride!

My little 250 used to be sweet for doing that, but no need for rear brake, just a stern down shift and away she goes into the corner My 2 big Ninjas not so much... Then there is all the new bikes with slippers, however the baby F3 don't have one of them
