Well said ! Fell in love in 2003 seeing the F4 in a showroom. Timeless styling and design

When I first saw the mv I thought it was the perfect bike. Still think the same and finally got one after 20 years

MV is a work of art , my dream bike is the MV 750 senna...

Same goes for me with my 2003 Aprilia RSV MILLE, I rode newer faster bikes but nothing compares to the good old 60 degree twin 🥲🙏🏾

great videos and adventures

You should have matched the generations, either a later MV 1000 or a first gen RSV. As done you have compared the 90's with the 00's. Either way I would have put the MV on the top rung, but I only have my own experiences to base that on.

that mv agusta 750 came out when I was in high school,it was the cliche bedroom poster bike of wonder and wet dreams where as the aprilia never made sense to my younger self because it didn't make popping sounds and fill the air with glorious smelling smoke and the RS designation wasn't anywhere to be seen,so naturally the other poster bike was an RS250.thank you knee down Donny and Zoe for the clips on the awesome bikes of yesteryear.

Add me to the list ive an 06 rsv1000r Ohlins suspension & blue Oz wheels. It's a beast 👊

That f4 is an sr version. 143 horse power.

I've owned an RSV1000R for a few years and it is easily my favourite bike I've ever ridden. :)

That MV is drop dead gorgeous, but RSV for me. Nothing like old school vtwin grunt, it won't win the race, but it tickles me in all the right spots.

This paint job desperately needs to be applied to the new RSV4.

Gosh why am I watching this when I've already sworn to my wife I'm not gonna get back to riding ten years ago! Can I just keep an F4 in my garage for the eye's treats....

Give me the Aprilia every time, in fact give me the Gen1 Aprilia...a real man's bike. Gruntier than a pig fed on beans and with that impeccable chassis. Better looking than later Gen2 bikes, more ergonomic, more natural feeling and better low down torque making it feel like a beast that would spit you off if you dared to prod the hog too hard. Lovely induction and engine sound made it addictive to ride and handling was sublime. Against the MV750 it was was better made, more reliable and would be gone before the MV had got into it's stride. I remember my first IoM experience, racing a Ducati 998 and a ZXR750 over the mountain. The gen1 RSV I was on left both for dead which came as a shock to them. Faster on the straight and turned quicker in the corners. The best riding experience of my life. The RSV is a classic and prices are steadily rising. Just buy one! One of the best road going superbike ever made.

I want an f4 im so tempted to buy a 1st and 2nd gen if i get the chance then if they ever make a 3rd gen get that one too

A combo of the 2 would be perfection, MV looks, but with the Aprilia V twin engine 🤤!

MV ❤️💪

Ich habe im Leben eine Menge Bikes gefahren. Hatte GPz 1100, GPz 1000RX, XJr 1200, Gsxr 600 srad, Gsxr 600 K1, Gsxr 750 w, Gsxr 1100 slingshot, XR 600, R1 Rn01, Vf 500 F2 interceptor, Gsr 750... In einige meiner Bikes war ich richtig verliebt, aber keins hat mich mehr angefixt, verzaubert und verrückt gemacht wie meine F4 750ccm monoposto❤️.

I've owned a 1000cc MV and an RSVR and it's the Aprilia for me all day long every day!

The bike It's not a simple F4 750, it's F4 750 SR, the latest version of 750 with SPR engine with 140 hp (146 hp with RG3 exhaust).

I'm surprised that Aprilia managed to finish the recording without the service mode haha I had 2 of these and both had issues with sensors that caused the stupid service mode and also meaning spending more time in the garage than on the road,it's a shame as I bought 2 as I love the muscular look of the bike and after watching this with the perfect colour combination of the bike shown Im going to look for another one 😅

I did test ride it but not rode it for 10-years because of a disc in my neck. I paid 2.400 for it and was worth every penny. I look at it most days wishing if only I could ride it. I’ve been on many super bikes but the power of the Aprilia is different and I dint mean to days bikes.

I had two aprilias back in the early 2000s The one featured here and the slightly older mille.Never a problem with either bike.Like everything else if you are tempted you need one that has been looked after which means a full service history.Beautiful torquey power especially low down out of the corners.

Those can's on the RSV, if only I could find a nice mint set...

Very Retro.

Donovan, you should give Zoe more time to talk next time!

The girl is more sexier than both the bikes put together.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The MV AUGUSTA looks damn cool, but the APRILIA is something else.

Not the same engine configuration, either. Comparisons are useless, people like different things on both bikes. It's not like comparing a Vespa to an Aprilia Superbike. Nowadays, the sport bikes are so damn fast.....95% of the riders will never reach the capability of their machine....without killing themselves in the process.

I'd thake the Aprilia and budget for a new Sprag Clutch just in case.

Claudio Castiglioni tried to buy the MV race team when they closed down in the 1970's. What he did with Cagiva in GPs, then Ducati and finally MV were all because of his wish to own the MV GP team. He achieved a lot but never quite turned it into the dream.

A stupid comparison! The 750 cc 4 cylinder Superbikes of the 90’s only really had one sub litre bike and that was the L2 916 cc Ducati!

Rotax bullet proof engine VS some Ferrari inspired contraption with good luck finding parts. I'll go with the Austrian made beast implanted in an Italian beautiful machine. Yes, the MV is absolutely beautiful and I'm sure it goes like stink BUT.....I'd rather have the Austrian reliability and the backing of a large company like Piaggio.

Believe it or not...they aren't too bad. The V4 which is NOT a Rotax has expensive parts and far less reliable but the V2 the parts are fairly inexpensive and plentiful. My boss has a bunch of bikes, too. He's got an Agusta F2 and the parts are very difficult to find and the prices are astronomical. Frankly speaking, price on parts is not an issue when you buy a very expensive bike like this, you should know what you're getting into before the purchase. However, not being able to find parts is a serious problem. I have a few expensive bikes and the first thing that I look for is spare parts and OEM availability. Just makes life less dramatic...Hehehehe @@Up2gethigh
