Earlier this year I was in Varese and spontaneously went to MV Agusta factory one morning, talked with security guard and front office people about getting a factory tour and half an hour later I was enjoying a personal tour around the factory. Such a nice and warm people working there and going the extra mile for a fellow bike nut. Highly recommend going there but do book a tour in advance. Lovely area for a quick holiday, Lake Como near by too. 5/5.
The irony of discussing how beautiful the style of the bike is when you've got Ken and his little pony stuck to your seat like some Max Power after market wing 😁
Very nice indeedy, must say I think it's clear the MV has absolutely won this series and who would have thought! Lovely factory tour makes me want an MV now... 😍😍
I have had an MV F4 1000R since 2007, ex demo bike. It is the fastest bike I have ever ridden. It used to scare the shit out of me compared to my GSXR 1000K4 on acceleration. I have done a little to it over the years and I have 168bhp at the back wheel. I absolutely love it and won't sell it. I'm 5'7" and it fits me perfectly. I loved your series and had a feeling the MV would win - hahahaha. 1. Watch out for the collapsing rear wheel hub, due to over torquing by garage monkeys with rattle air guns and being unable to read "28-32Nm". Make sure it's been changed or budget for it. 2. Get an impact driver and the correct size socket for it as 220Nm for the rear hub nut can't be undone without it because the long breaker bar doesn't fit past the swing arm unless you have the bike hanging from the roof beams (seriously). Mine took 10 seconds of continuous impact driver before the nut started move! 3. Be best friends with Loctite 4. If you want to ride in the dark - good luck with that - headlights are crap (laser beams only, no spread of light) 5. My exhaust mounting bolts under the seat fell out on the motorway 6. Low fuel light worked for 1 month and never since - known common fault 7. 2 x speed sensors failed due to fitting an HID low beam (!) 8. Swap the fans for metal ones 9. Run the MV on 10/60W oil as stated - or you WILL get overheating and a flashing oil light 10. Your balls will cook once you get into traffic after having fun on the open road 11. The cooling fans run at the speed of the crank. Sit in traffic ticking over and they slow down - hence you get boiled balls! You really need either an extra fan mod or electric and thermostat driven fans 12. The mirrors are effing *useless*, if you are going to enjoy 168bhp then you really need your wits about you or a rear view camera and RF / laser detection system (ahem). 14. MV's do not like traffic or going slow 15. Your balls will cook once you get into traffic after having fun on the open road 16. The throttle is snatchy in traffic and low gears, but you get used to it 17. MV's do not like traffic or going slow 18. Your balls will cook once you get into traffic after having fun on the open road 19. The throttle is snatchy in traffic and low gears, but you get used to it 20. MV's do not like traffic or going slow 21. Your balls will cook once you get into traffic after having fun on the open road 22. The throttle is snatchy in traffic and low gears, but you get used to it Apart from that it's fabulous :-D and you won't regret it, I promise you :-D The mirror's are why MV F4 riders are always lifting up the left arm doing the chicken dance ;-)
You guys need to do a £1000 budget bike battle. Bikes like ZZR GSXF CBR THUNDERCAT RF GPZ CB BANDIT Etc and do a full on bike test 0-60 0-120 top speed braking fastest lap mpg full on road trip bottom to top of England like the old top gear. Something great seeing old cheap bikes reviews. You said on your first video that you was doing speed test etc keep up the good work
Awesome video! I’ve really enjoyed the series! The combination of you guys hilarious commentary and video editing is absolutely mint! Keep up the good work :)
Funny how some people still find it rewarding to mention the narrative that Italian bikes brake down whilst British bikes don't. Frankly I trust more Italian bikes than the British ones.
No matter how big if a Ducati fan I am, I will always love MV. There is just something special about them. This just makes me want one even more to compliment the Cagiva and Ducati.
MV has a museum. It's just outside of Milan & it's damn fine visit too. Also has a small part about MV's little sideline.....Helicopters! I know......I rode there on my MV F4 750.
Didn't want that to end! Really enjoyed it, thanks guys👍🏼 I was waiting for the tumble weed to blow past when Chris said that bike in the museum was faster than the 999😂
20:36 new f4's probably... mayhaps... perhaps... maybe..xD Now we know. Cool little tour throughout the Mv factory. Ducati museum looks very nice to visit one day
I've been back and forth on buying an MV Agusta Turismo Veloce Lusso or the new Multistrada this winter. The Multi just seems a big heavy, though I've obviously had one before
BARELY! I read up on this and it looks like Harley wound up selling the company right back to the family after that. Harley is being run into the ground, making all of these awkward acquisitions!
Oh,i nodded off there after 2 'swear words' to me,all MV Agusta street cred lost having used 2 words in that piece,Harley Davidson! Then i awake to hear various companies have parts on the bike,so it's a mongrel,Go #TeamDucati i have always loved the look of that Fila 999.cheers guys,loved the Ducati tour piece too
I'm sorry gents, but it's very clear indeed that the MV trounced the Ducati in this all the way from beginning to end. It's purely down to bad luck that BvG got done for speeding in Schweiz, so I don't think that day even counts. I would not have called it as a result, but IMO it stands. Top work!
Loving you’re talking to a serious MV man with the horse and Ken still stuck to the bike. Superb.
That knee down shot with the screaming doll is absolutely brilliant.
Agreed smokey...the slo-mo of the doll flopping round was priceless

Lamb Chop Rides time to retry the F3 without the dodgy clutch 😂
Yeah did love that F3 great bike!

What a cracking vid.....left me yearning for an mv 👍

Mmm Yah.... stick it in mine Boot-en

I F*cking Love you guys. Also I’m just going to take credit for your popularity in DC Maryland and Virginia. You guys are the best. #JizzFactory
You and I both!
Dmv here cheer
Can you use your talents to get MV Agustas attention to open up a dealership in the DMV? Mad dry right now.
What a cool video!
Also thumbs up to Ducati and MV for being so cool with you, giving you an interview and letting you in the factory.

I love how you rock up to speak to the top brass at both Ducati and MV Augusta in beach wear. Per mille diavoli

Same here, thought they just made it up like a fake ad... I googled it today and boy was I surprised hahahaha
Hahaha, same here man! Just checked google:p
@@J2I3H Well... The app worked then!
anyone else after watching this make you want to go buy a MV ?
I started thinking about getting a dragster, but then I remembered that it's 200km to the nearest dealer.
I actually bought a red and silver f4 312.
I want a 999 now I liked when hodgy won wsbk in 03
Honestly ? No. Not really. Lol.
@@theonlyredspecial I ended up getting a 899 haha

Most startling image was the ‘white leg and orange 🍊 trainer’ combo 🤣
Funny how some people still find it rewarding to mention the narrative that Italian bikes brake down whilst British bikes don't. Frankly I trust more Italian bikes than the British ones.
It’s the MV hands down.
Best motorcycle content channel on youtube hands down. It's criminal you don't have more subs.
5:14 Love to have a go on that one, looks amazing!
That was absolutely jizztastic. Especially the bella donna who showed you around the Ducati museum and the MV Factory. What amazing people!
05:00 And all those chicks at the Ducs museum... Guys, when is too hard to pick a winner, is because both bikes are great!
Now my day is complete! Great work lads Double Bloody Deckers for all
You guys are absolutely killing it. This series is so good. Thank You so much for making it.
Superb video guys. The interviews the insiders of Ducati and MV are a real treat, and the factory tour was great.
That Cagiva engine crate at 21:09
No matter how big if a Ducati fan I am, I will always love MV. There is just something special about them. This just makes me want one even more to compliment the Cagiva and Ducati.
Im so happy everytime i see you post an episode of Budget Bike :) Thank you both!
Just awesome video, nice to see Ducati museum and MV factory...Thanks for sharing this
Pure entertainment, best bike related channel around by a country mile, thanks guys
MV has a museum. It's just outside of Milan & it's damn fine visit too. Also has a small part about MV's little sideline.....Helicopters!
I know......I rode there on my MV F4 750.
Just the best. Great advert for both bikes. Last episode could change my mind I guess.
@10:37 -- This woman is GORGEOUS!
Solid stop to the mood when you see Nicky's bike in the Duc show.
Great intro! These episodes make me feel like an addict...already checking prices online.... #TeamMV
Love the work guys! Travelling around Australia but these episodes are still the highlight of my evenings, keep up the quality work.
Aren't the SORN bikes are probably just converted for track day usage rather than being in a museum/broken down.
After watching this I really want to visit the Ducati museum. Great video.
Seriously considering an MV now! Wonderful series guys - keep it up!
Quality vid as always, loved seeing inside the MV Factory! All that missing was a Aprilia
0:55 That sounds like a Piaggio P180 turboprop plane.
Exactly my comment! Well trained ear! That's it... nothing sounds quite like it =)
Loved this series chaps and looking forward to the next episode, just brilliant. Thanks for doing these for us fans.
Didn't want that to end! Really enjoyed it, thanks guys👍🏼 I was waiting for the tumble weed to blow past when Chris said that bike in the museum was faster than the 999😂
Yesterday I received my 44Teeth support sticker Team DUCATI.....But we are getting killed by MV Agusta.....LMAOOOO
Boot Bananas man o man what a quality ad. Everytime I see that I die laughing makes my morning when 44 toothless drops some quality comedy.
there is nothing more exciting than an italian talking about performance bike in english ... it's sends me directly into the moto gp
OK that's me done.. MV... Take my money!
20:36 new f4's probably... mayhaps... perhaps... maybe..xD
Now we know.
Cool little tour throughout the Mv factory.
Ducati museum looks very nice to visit one day
Great video guys, loved the museum & factory tours.
22mins and 54 seconds of jizzy perfection.
They must have had some odd looks from the factory reps when they saw the dolls on those bikes. :D
I think a certain model of MV may have gone up in value.....
Was nice to watch about the history of the bikes. Great vid as always cheers.
I've been back and forth on buying an MV Agusta Turismo Veloce Lusso or the new Multistrada this winter. The Multi just seems a big heavy, though I've obviously had one before
I had to watch that Boot-Bananas thing a few times lmao
May this series never end. Top work boys. :)
2020 and I’m loving this! 👌
pet peev with MV, they use stickers and lacquer over them and dont sand out the ugly ridges.
Wow... that 999 race looked amazing 👍
You just avoided owning the Harley Davidson model 😎
BARELY! I read up on this and it looks like Harley wound up selling the company right back to the family after that. Harley is being run into the ground, making all of these awkward acquisitions!

Excellent work guys. Wish I was there too. MV all the way this time! If it had been the 998R then I'd have gone with Ducati.
I absolutely love your work.
Just tried a friends F3 this weekend and I have to say it was a lovely bike to ride. I was quite impressed
Real cool to see the factory of MV Agusta.
Hands up if you're always fucking disappointed when the episode finishes... WANT MORE NOW! Great work again lads!

Brilliant vid chaps! Please keep this BBB series going. Maybe a trip to BMW and KTM?
Finally! I enjoy this far to much!
Awesome guys - really enjoyed this series so far go team MV
You guys are brilliant. P.s Mv is the winner for me. I had a poster of the f4 on my bedroom wall as a teenager 😀
Ok, if you haven't already, we need a BBB3 filming already. These are too good.
Good to see the MV factory testing the engines. So, absolute proof that there is no point running in a new bike as far as the engine is concerned. 👍😃
You guys are awesome... Go MV team...
Those guys and bikes from MV !!! They make me want one.....
I had my doubts at first,but the mv is smoking this battle.Props to the bike,didn't think it would pull through so well.
best series on youtube by far boys
Such an amazing channel keep it up lads
I think the Ducati is the nicer bike
Great channel guys
Keep Em coming
Great now I need an MV Agusta. RIP my finances.
Another great episode, I love this series.
What a rad episode. God the 999 is awesome.
Both bikes are Jizztastic but MV for me !! ... Sorry Al
Nice work guys....
The MV factory....👌
NICE, i like it fellas
Loved the factory tours
such a cool video, great interviews.
I feel sorry for Al but.. #TeamF4 is absolutely smashing it
Chris wins every challenge, hands down. 🤣🤣🤣.
Fagan is definitely MVious ;)
