Tuesday Morning Moto News - Rider Dies on Phillip Island & MV Agusta F4 Review

A 72-year-old rider who was taking advantage of a program which allows spectators to take to the Phillip Island track after the races are finished. He had rented a Suzuki GSX-R600 to ride the circuit. While riding into the second turn he lost control and crashed - the rider behind him did not have time to stop and hit him. He was declared dead at the scene.

Early reports on the riding manners of the new 2010 MV Agusta F4-1000R are quite good. Many had complained about previous models being rather unforgiving on the road, but I have yet to seen that proven. However, the new F4 has the road-going behavior of a Honda now - it is smooth, easy to control, and takes to the track as if it were born there - and it was. For your own opinion, go take a demo ride or just take the link and read the review.
