Brand new unregistered MV Agusta Superveloce Serie Oro - unique opportunity F3

Love them or loath them, they're certainly worthy of a discussion.

If it wasn't for that daft bit of fairing at the top of the screen, i'd be 100% on it... but that little part just irritates me somewhat irrationally.

Intentional retro styling for the fairing? ;)

That blue one is better looking because it has different styling.

That would certainly effect the looks wouldn't it.

That's horrible, an absolute Bellwood of a bike.

I still dont get the whole Italian's are stylish thing, the majority of the bikes they make are shocking looking.

That slot in the top of the fairing probably works aerodynamically. MRA do a whole shed-load of screens based on that idea. I had one, they work a treat.

I achieved the same effect with a bar-mounted after market screen on the Bonnie.

Mounted as 'designed' with the cut out tight to the headlamp shell it was horrible. Turbulence off the top of the screen battered my helmet.
Lifted up a bit, and raked back to allow some airflow under the bottom and up the inside of the screen and it worked a treat.

Aircraft designers have known about it for many years, I can only assume most motorcycle screen designs are focused on looks rather than function.
