The things that have failed on mine weren't MV.

Clutch slave cylinder - Brembo

Radiator?

The 4cyl MV's are as reliable as any Japanese bike (more so, in some cases). The triples have some tales of woe, centres around the Sprague clutch, but that seems to have resolved itself now too.

Yes and the Rad. Forgot about that. But that was stone so could you class it as MV or Highway?

When we get out of lock down looking to buy a new bike and going to be having a serious test ride on a Triumph 765 RS and the MV Agusta Brutale 800 rr they are great looking bikes.
