V4 Why So Heavy?

  1. I've binned the idea of going to the Morgan factory. I don't care if I can get in and out of one because shelling out over £89 grand on a car carries similar repulsion to being "in" with the crowd and buying a van. Is the line drawn at caravans, or are they now "in"?

    Instead, I will attempt for a second time, to walk to Ducati Worcester. One question that I have, is why are Multistradas so heavy? Ducati beats everyone on kerb weight, but the V4 is a fat slob and the V2 is lighter but still a little Miss Piggy by normal Ducati standards.

    I do not understand.

  2. I do not understand? If you can spend that much Buy an Aston Martin DBS or AM V8 pre 80's comfy and quick. Don't get the auto.
     
  3. I can't spend that much because I just refuse to. Also, there's a question mark over getting my money.

    Even getting £85,000 odd to buy out my cousin from our family property business is proving hard.

    And it's all my fault. Apparently, I should have Internet banking on my "fortune" but all I have is a chequebook in the name of "for and behalf of the lover who scammed the High Court " or some such. Everybody gets access except me.

    When I get home, I'll try again for the company money and will not try it on to buy a new Ducati. Honestly!
     
  4. Is there another machine that does what this does that’s lighter? It’s only heavy if you have to pick it up :)
     
  5. I really want to see the new Monster again. I want to check that it really does look awful. I want to better understand where the desire to wrap up a light bike in plastic shit in order to add weight and spoil looks comes from. It mystifies me. How is it allowed?

  6. Streetfighter V2 is the new Monster of old, if you ask me.
