It seems that motorcycle manufacturers are finally starting to see the value in product placement, as big budget films like Indiana Jones 4 (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/30/harley-davidson-gets-into-product-placement-in-new-indiana-jones/) and the upcoming Transformers sequel (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/12/transformers-sequel-roundup-buell-based-fembot-sr-71-and-audi/) can attest. While the Italian motorcycle maker MV Agusta has been making noise as it searches for a new owner, it has also apparently been hard at work getting its products the screen time they deserve. In The Dark Knight, Batman will have his very own custom bike (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/11/the-dark-knight-goes-for-a-spin-on-the-batpod/) to ride, but Bruce Wayne will be seen riding a new F4 superbike from the Italian manufacturer. To celebrate this achievement, MV Agusta will be teaming up with The Hershey Company to give away (http://www.hersheys.com/reeses/darkknight/) a new Dark Knight themed bike valued at $35,000. We clearly want to win this item very badly.

nice bikes,the 1000cc sounds mean as fook too!
looks better in black than the red/silver classic colours imo,or silver/blue.
the ducati in the matrix looked horny as fook in black too.
slightly off topic,but what are the benneli tornados like?
keep seeing loads round here in the silver/green,i thought they were quite rare/exspensive? they sound gorgeous too.
a bloke dropped one wobbling ot of the bike shop carpark last week,trapping his wifes leg under the bike,lol,she sure didnt look impressed with him,think it was a new venture for them both as they were quite old and dressed in the silly harley clobber,suede jackets with all the tassles hanging off them.
the tornado looked very worse for ware after i picked it up tho,no crash bungs so a hefty repair bill guaranteed.

They've been trying to shift out the stock of Benelli's for a while now with discounts everywhere, and whilst the standard models were not cheap to start with by comparison to the likes of Yam's and Kwaks's, they weren't the all singing all dancing model that started life at £23,000. Three Cross down here were/are a supplier. The bikes are quite cheap feeling when you sit on them and i've heard mixed bag reports as to how they actually ride. You've got to love the Dan Dare style fans at the back though :)

The limited edition Matrix Reloaded Dukes were a deep metallic green. Always seem to come up for sale on American ebay, as i'm guessing that is where the majority were shipped off to for sale. Should of included a Trinity lookalike with every sale, sure that would of guaranteed quicker sales ;)

Everybody loves an MV, i'll take a Senna please :doug

Although for me, the meanest Italian superbike going in black is this....:inlove
