Welcome to another episode of Chris’s favorite time it’s Dream Rides we’re here at the uh the Dream Factory bike specialist James we’ve gone uh Italian Exotica this is the MV austa Rush what do you think about it what’s your thoughts on this thing fast loud and flamboyant that’s what I like it you

Prepared that didn’t you it perfect that is perfect it’s like it’s if Batman was going to ride a motorcycle that would be the bike with the red and black it just looked so cool it really does is an angry evil looking bike it really is

Yeah now I’m going to come out with an unpopular opinion here not of this bike but I I I generally mvs I love the first F4 750 the first Super Bike it’s one of my alltime favorite bikes and and for a long time I liked them but the last five years

They’ve been a bit much for me right okay they’ve just been garish in my in my opin it’s it’s totally a personal opinion thing of course I understand that and respect that but but this one I have to I have to say I absolutely love it and it’s not that it’s not

Garish look at it it’s ridiculous but it definitely got the wow factor it’s awesome it looks incredible for me though mvs are just rolling G I think they’re absolutely beautiful and I don’t think in my opinion they don’t they don’t make an ugly mode cycle um and we don’t have

Toe Lamborghini it’s really isn’t it it’s that flamboyant it really is over the top yeah it’s pushing the boundaries of design and that’s what I love about it and it’s an engineering Marvel um it just looks it looks insane that real wheel cover is that the most beautiful

Thing ever or is it a halfs wheel trim off a Cora because I love it but then someone mentioned that to me and I can’t stop seeing it I mean the back end is actually off the super velocci m uh o in suspension Brembo brakes everything on the bike is like really

High quality loads of carbon fiber uh 202 brake horsepower by the way unless you put the race kit on when it’s 28 it’s got It’s got the Race Kit actually oh you can get ready when you’re riding this that’s a h but I mean like little details like the oens forks the sides

Are sculpted out you know slimming the fork CL down I don’t know actually whether that’s for aerodynamics or to reduce stiffness I don’t know something clever some clever stuff that’s gone on there and that floating rear end with the kind of uh Starship Enterprise P even the the

Seat yeah with the big gap in between and Alcantara and little bits of detail the more you walk around it you can see and the big Dash that’s mounted to the tank not the handle that’s right yeah which has got everything going off so you know what the bike’s doing at all

Times as well and insanely fast outrageously I mean I haven’t had the joy of riding one of these um so when you do have a ride and very interested there’s no we into it when I do have a ride on a cold a cold winter British

Road I will be open the thr very carefully very carefully sure you in in minus two Condition it’s going to be a wild ride tomorrow you’ve got your heater jacket on I’m going to put my Brave pants on and uh send it as best I can MV austa Rush thousand beautiful limited edition

Bike and the more time I’ve spent with it the more I like it this is proper honestly it feels like a motorcycle in Ferrari and it sounds like it right let me slow down listen to this noise right are you ready just stunning sounding bike no four- cylinder engine has any

Right sounding as good as that what a thing and actually for all its mental horsepower and ins Insanity basically if you tickle along in slow RPM and not ragging the life out of it it’s actually pretty ridable it’s not a horrible thing to ride the way it comes on the cams at the

Top it’s so aggressive wheel spins and wheelies if you’re just wobbling around it’s actually fine but if you actually try and ride it quick wow that engine is angry it just sounds so good it’s a very very intense bike to Ride What a fantastic sounding motorcycle thanks to the guys at boto they’re one of our sponsors they help us put together these videos they give us a chance to come out and and ride these bikes and make this content they also are really good for insurance stuff like

This any one of these specialist bikes in here you can phone the guys at boto they’ll know what you’re talking about and they’ll help you get the best insurance whether that’s for looking after it when it’s laid up in the living room on display or being sent out around

Track days and used in the manner it should be let’s get all the spirit of the radio jokes out the way now I only actually know one Rush song so it’s going to be quite a short sequence of jokes that but MV Rush thousand this is probably going to surprise a few people

That’s the first MV auguster I’ve rid in a long time that I actually came away really really wanting and that sounds ungrateful for the number of people that would kill to have an MV of any format but the last ones I’ve rid out of the mvs brutales f400s f3800 F3 675 I’ve

Loved them there’s they’ve always felt special but there’s always been enough finicky things about them that it’s kind of left me a little bit 50/50 at the end of the day there’s been enough awkwardness enough strange throttle glitches or stuff like that that’s just put me off and and I’ve not loved every

Minute of the riding experience so going out on this one with over 200 horsepower with such an aggressive look to it on cold damp slippery winter roads covered in sheep poo and I honestly was dreading riding this today I thought this is going to be horrendous left the house

Super early this morning put it into rain mode and went out and went out and hit the roads and it was calm and quiet and the traction control was really good and the ABS was good and nothing made the ride difficult and I was immediately

A bit caught off guard by that I didn’t expect that from this bike then as I got sort of warmed up and got my head around it chucked it into race mode back the traction control down back the ABS off a little bit got that full power that that

Full Full Source full hot Source from the engine and suddenly I was like this thing is it’s ballistic it’s really really fast but it’s still manageable which and by by manageable I don’t mean it’s easy to ride cuz crisis got over 200 horsepower it is a proper handful

But it was reasonably predictable it didn’t do anything awkward or have any of weird throttle glitches I’ve felt on previous mvs it just it just let me get on with trying to use whatever of the power I could that combined with the fact that the more I’ve looked at it the

More I’ve fallen in love with the styling I’m a huge fan of this bike a huge fan now now on the road genuinely this this for me is a motorcycl in Ferrari I have never ever ever in my life had a four-cylinder engine engine that sounded so Good at every sort of RPM from per and around down low to half throttle cruising up through the Rev range to the Full Throttle to the stop sing it up through a couple of Gears it just made the hairs on the back of my neck stand

On end it has this like evil evil intake noise it’s just a ridiculous sounding bike forget Corners forget anything that normally makes motorcycles fun just pin in the thrott in a straight line on this so ex so exhilarating so addictive that I just me spent half the day doing that

Just going ra and terrifying the life out of myself on crests and jumps and slippery bits of Road bunkers bunkers bunkers bike but then you could shift up three gears and purr around slowly and it it still worked brilliant and it’s an MV that’s got a proper Jackel and HDE

Character to it I got a lot of time for that I would have loved to have given this a bit more of a thrashing on on on a sticky dve Dr Tac road but it’s December this there was no chance I was going to be doing that riding there this

Time of year I’m not going to go on about the condition of the roads but I’m being careful because I’m on super courses and it is it has crept up to 8° but it’s damp and greasy leaves and gravel and mud everywhere random massive puddles so I sort of had to stick with

Pleasing Myself by riding flat out over jumps and leaning it over as far as I dared so I can’t tell you how good the edge of Tire performance is and I can’t tell you how well the chassis handles a good road because sadly today I didn’t

Get the chance to try that what I can tell you is as a fast no let me rephrase that as a brutally fast road bike this thing actually is brilliant it’s a comfortable riding position for a sports bike it’s got loads of Rider modes and features

There easy to set up without having to refer to the manual which is always a bonus and you can get it to go from reasonably soft and caring to stupid stupid red and carbon fibery and the fact that you’ve got a reasonable amount of room to move around

On the bike meant I rode for three four hours and I was totally happy totally comfortable now I’ve been super lucky to ride pretty much all of the super nakeds V4 Street Fighter from jaati KTM Super Juke the BMW m100r and the ailia tono Factory I’m really pleased I’ve added

This to the list and definitely moved very very close to the top I think I think maybe I’d probably still Edge the m000 r over this but not by a lot and you know what in terms of something special in terms of something different this thing absolutely hits the top of

The list this is a very very special very exotic feeling bike it feels luxury it feels different to everything else in the category it is a proper occasion to ride this it’s a very very very special feeling motorcycle I have to say that and little bits like let me just flick it

Off I love this tank mounted Dash that’s really cool when you switch it on motorcycle art it doesn’t feel that sort of Copy Cat super bike alien headlight big silly Wings thing it’s it’s different it’s Unique and the fact that it rides as well as it does all

It’s made me want to do is get out on a dry Road and give it a proper thrashing but it kind of doesn’t matter it is a phenomenally quick bike it makes you absolutely giggle like a small child when you rev it up through the Rev range

And actually doesn’t try and kill you all the rest of the time they’ve done a good job with that it’s the first MV I’ve ridden that made me really really want to spend more time on it damn good bike oh
