Kudos to Jay for hosting bikes. He's pretty much the only major car RUclipsr who also rides bikes. Motorcycles>>>Cars for excitement (and I own an M2!).
hes hosted bikes several times. i know youve seen the inside of his garage my fried. i have as well hes got a decent stash of motorcycle. im a HUGE fan of his as well.
I have a MV Agusta F3 800. The way she looks, sounds, and feels on the road is an experience beyond motoring. She's the most amazing and beautiful machine - true Motorcycle Art. This homage looks fantastic.
The 2019 MV Agusta F4 Claudio is an absolute work of art that pays tribute and homage to the MV Agusta F4 750 that Claudio Castiglioni and Massimo Tamburini so dutifully crafted. Claudio’s son Giovanni has taken the MV Agusta name to new heights with the 79mm bore by 50.9mm stroke powerhouse. 212 stampeding horses turning 85 lb.ft. Of torque peaking at 9,300 rpm knocks you on your arse. Thanks Jay for giving the MV Agusta name the star treatment that it so longingly deserves.
I friggin love jay's garage. I hope he NEVER ever stops producing these videos. Such a great person and a great time to be alive also. truly we are alive with still alot of "the greats." and leno is one of those great car guys that the world has right now. it pretty awesome i must say.
The original 750s is the most beautiful bike ever made IMO, this is a very nice take on that bike...well done Stuart, and well done Jay for showing it on the channel..
Philip Miller I passed my test when I was 32. Did the large sports bikes for 5 years, zx9’s and a couple of R1’s including a trip to the Nurburgring! Had my fun, got away with my licence and life intact somehow then decided that was enough and quit. Now at 49 I’m starting to get the itch again 😂
Actually, a good friend of mine- Albert Bold, took one of the shaft drive 600’s and turned it into a race bike. He’s a master mechanist and did the chain conversion, made the rotors out of conshahocken manhole covers, made the calipers and showed up at Pocono Track to run a WERA race. That was back in the early 80s and we’ve been friends ever since. Jay, you probably even know him!
This immediately brought back some distant childhood memories of the annual family holidays to the IOM TT over 50 years. Watching 'uncle' John Surtees' barreling down Bray Hill on the works MV to win the Senior TT. First bike to lap at over 100 mph. That sound!
You're right mister Jelo - this really is the best looking gas tank. The design language of MV Agusta remains unsurpassed to this day. Inspired by Giacomo Agustini's terrific successes in motorcycle racing, I was quickly infected and have raved about Agusta's masterpiece in particular - the 750 S. Congratulations to Mister Stuart Parr for this grandiose interpretation and the masterful reduction to the essentials of this great machine! Best regards from Klaus from Germany.
Oh my god, this reminds me of times I had almost forgotten. Dreaming of the Honda 400 four. Riding my Norton through the hills, and up to Four Corners in Woodside. Beautiful memories.
That is the first time when Jay is not asking and the guest is answering, but when they both are just geeking out over bikes they had and know about. So awesome to see ))))
Yeah...I always hated that forward leaning low handlebar design. Major neck and upper back pain if you drive them a long time. I has something similar on my BWM K100RS back in the late 80's.
hot rod daddy I rode a hard tail for 15 mins until I didn’t miss a pot hole and didn’t stand up in time...the sob crushed my family jewels. Watch ya nads dude lol
there is nothing sadder then to see your heroes getting older, Jay is moving way slower, walking slower, leaning on stuff, and in general, i don't know... i hope he will live until 120 well and healthy he will always be my Hero
The chase 'bike' providing the audio does a great job with his voice-over as well, eh? 'tis an absolutely wonderful thing to read another's opinion and determine it has absolutely no effect on your own...
As a high school kid, my dream bike was the Honda CB 400-4. Just ran across a clean totally stock 75 at the Honda shop in Victorville yesterday. Someday one will end up in my garage.
This is a great episode in my opinion. The bikes are cool, so is the guest and Jay appears determined to get every last penny out of his leather jacket.
i think we all wish we had our first bikes but if we got them back we probably would pass on it and keep our present larger bikes. like my little honda 150cc dream cycle, and now a 1,300 vtx cruiser? i'm your age, keeping the vtx.
@@ronvalley1973 Oh nice! I'd keep that as well. Great cruising bike although I think the 1800 came with a wind shield not sure if the 1300 did, but in Florida it'd be nice to have during love bug season :)
@@Eric_W interesting, and i trusted the words of the mom and pop cycle shop in sterling illinois, where mark told me to get the 1300 and not the 1800 he had in stock. i did have to buy later the windshield and saddle bags and foot boards. he told me lots of guys are unhappy with the 1800 as it has steering problems and is top heavy, and besides, the exhaust pipes were too large and goofy looking on the 1800, but, i did puchase new a 1300 vtx that had the same pipes as the 1800 and rode it for around 3000 miles till one day i thought the pipes looked goofy, so i traded it for a 1300 vtx also brand new that had more sporty mufflers that were stock. one nice thing about douglasandfryemotosports.com shop is that mark did not deduct one red cent of value from my trade in. now have 55,000 miles since new and not one single thing has gone wrong.
@@ronvalley1973 That must have been awesome! Although for a 3 speed I might have been a tad nervous going that far. But then the speed limit then wasn't as fast as it is now, either I'm sure.
What amazing history spoken on this episode. It's crazy to think that Honda is now part of motorcycling history of bikes. And these MV Agusta's are so nice. Although it looks like a cafe racer to me. Like a Royal Enfield Continental GT 2020?
Oh, how we've progressed. I remember Rent-A-Honda in St. Paul, Minnesota. Those bikes were awfully basic, perhaps even crude, compared to what we ride today. The St. Paul Rent-A-Honda property is now a gas station/convenience store. Progress indeed !
"Sigh...Sit Down People, this happens every Tuesday, he's just talking about the thing he's driving and we are still gonna get to your stop..." Bus driver probably
Jay is without question buying one. There are a lot of people here who just can't be happy about the way a motorcycle sounds, unless it's a Hardly-Ableson sitting there idling at an almost stalling low bub bub bub to a concussing loud thunder... self destructing with every rev.
That is simply beautiful. I remember the 750s for sale in the 70s and seeing one or two occasionally at races in the UK, major freaking drool. This is so stinking beautiful I was read to sell my second home, extra cars and anything else of value and get on the list of 50. Then he took it for a ride...that sound is horrible - while everything else captures the essence of the original perfectly that sound is like a slap at its legacy.
My first motor was a Honda CB450 back in the early 1970s, Sold it after I got married, needed the money! The Honda 750's came in and motorcycling was never the same.
One of the Michigan boys brought an original (1970?) MV Agusta 750S to Daytona in 1988. It had a full race style fairing on it. Really complimented the bike. The test bike looks like it was running way lean, judging by how far down the pipes are blued. I hope they got that sorted.
,,, Sorry to say, but most all of the audio you are hearing is of the Chase bike with camera man. It is too bad, because those 3 cylinders have such a wonderful sound, but we really didn't ever get to hear it well.
Jay usually name-drops his McLaren; when on motorcycles, his Brough-Superior(s). This was the first video when his guest could out-name-drop him with all of his tasty MV's. But he did it in a nice way
That bike just oozes charm and style , looks fun not over powered not to big and half the enjoyment i bet would be listening to that sweet sound as you go through the gears. I need it!!!
What a group of real craftsmen you have been able to assemble and share their talents with us! Bring on the boys from Goonzquad, the up and coming craftsmen of tomorrow! PS: I noted the dirty windscreen toward the end of your presentation.
The look reminds me, with its big double disks and flared tank, of the Motoguzzi S3, which I think is one of the best looking classic Italian motorcycles.
Jay... I commend you for sacrificing your back for us the viewers. But man you look good on the MV. I wish you would do an episode on the ducati 748 916 996 998 series, to follow up on the sexy bikes of Italy.
Jay! I'd love to have an episode on the Honda CB400f Supersport you guys mentioned. I know if seen one lurking in the background on your show a few times and I absolutely love that bike.
I had a 750 Brutale back in 2004-5, and it WAS brutal. The engine was smooth, but I couldn't keep it under 100 mph. Here in the crowded SF Bay Area, the Highway Patrol would give me the hairy eyeball from the _opposite_ side of the freeway. What was really brutal was the gas mileage, 17 mpg! I sold it because I was afraid of losing my license to drive, or my life (like some other people did, sadly.) The wheels were also too soft for the 3rd world streets of San Francisco.
Ah the exhaust noise - I used to love going on the Pioneer run with other members of the MV Owners club, the best bit was passing under Gatwick airport - like going through a Swiss mountain.
Best episode ever! Love MV Agusta, and it was beautiful also to see you both being dreamy eyed for a few second when slipping into Honda-mind territory! Your enthusiasm are rich and including, as any true motorcycle-persons should be. But why did non of you mention the lines of the CB400 four exhaust system? 🤔 Hugo
Great looking bike, I have a cb360 and I would love to ride something like this! I just recently painted the tank on mine and even that wasn't easy. One thing I don't like about this one is the sound. Doesn't sound like anything special at all.
When I was working in a PSA shop and starting 441 Victor's while Seated on the saddle my total weight was 131 lb I used to drool about the MV Augustus. The funny thing about the 441 Victor it was tuned properly and you knew the proper drill it was an easy bike to start.
Just to be clear, these are two older gentlemen discussing pre-1974 MV Agusta motorcycles and their legend. Since 1996, MV is really just a boutique manufacturer, selling toys to rich folks. The Brutale is nothing special, except the price tag. 37 Constructor championships is across several classes and is an amazing accomplishment. Getting Hailwood and Ago to ride them is amazing, too. Another era.
Kudos to Jay for hosting bikes. He's pretty much the only major car RUclipsr who also rides bikes. Motorcycles>>>Cars for excitement (and I own an M2!).
You aren’t telling lies, my man.
hes hosted bikes several times. i know youve seen the inside of his garage my fried. i have as well hes got a decent stash of motorcycle. im a HUGE fan of his as well.
Jay’s knowledge of all these machines is just so impressive
Geez Jay, that should have been a multi part special, I could have just listened to the two of you talk about bikes for hours!
I agree. So easy listening. Some sort of asmr
No kidding... two very interesting dudes
i can listen to Jay read the label on a vitamin bottle. He is America's greatest treasure
And they had to bring up the Honda CB 750......sure miss the one I had.

The original 750s is the most beautiful bike ever made IMO, this is a very nice take on that bike...well done Stuart, and well done Jay for showing it on the channel..
I love how deep Jay goes into bikes.
That's what she said!
I’ve not ridden a bike for about 12 years. Watching this has made me really miss it!
Me to!
It's never to late! Get your wallet out. I only started riding at age 45 I love it.
Philip Miller I passed my test when I was 32. Did the large sports bikes for 5 years, zx9’s and a couple of R1’s including a trip to the Nurburgring! Had my fun, got away with my licence and life intact somehow then decided that was enough and quit. Now at 49 I’m starting to get the itch again 😂
10:04 you can tell Jay is thinking to himself: "Oh Okay. I'm going to place an order with you as soon as we finish shooting this"
with some small modifications of course :)
The Whole first half Jay is hanging to go for Fang, and Encyclopedia Stuart Knows it!
Paid in full, in $100 bills pf course.
Jay: Take my money!!!
No, he thought he was his friend who wanted to show him something it might interest him but he was trying to sell it just like the other ones.
Actually, a good friend of mine- Albert Bold, took one of the shaft drive 600’s and turned it into a race bike. He’s a master mechanist and did the chain conversion, made the rotors out of conshahocken manhole covers, made the calipers and showed up at Pocono Track to run a WERA race. That was back in the early 80s and we’ve been friends ever since. Jay, you probably even know him!
That's definitely a young man's bike with an old man's wallet!
Norm K. , well said!
A conundrum indeed.
How much?
Youth is wasted on the young.
Well, take a Royal Enfield Interceptor or Cafet Racer. Retro look with modern technology at a good price and the nice sound of a twin.
Love it when Jay has a bike episode. Mad respect for him.
I had a '76 Honda 400F, rode it for 16 years. It belongs to a friend now. Great bike.
This immediately brought back some distant childhood memories of the annual family holidays to the IOM TT over 50 years. Watching 'uncle' John Surtees' barreling down Bray Hill on the works MV to win the Senior TT. First bike to lap at over 100 mph. That sound!

My basic ol '06 Brutale was the first MV in ND back in the day when I registered her! Still love it.
I hope yours has a speedometer and mirrors! What could possibly go wrong without those things? lol
You know it's going to be a good week when both Jay Leno's Garage and Regular Car Reviews both post motorcycle videos.
Stuart parr comes up with another winner. Love the chemistry between Jay and Stuart.
Oh my god, this reminds me of times I had almost forgotten. Dreaming of the Honda 400 four. Riding my Norton through the hills, and up to Four Corners in Woodside. Beautiful memories.
thank you my friend for taking this sweet ride out for a spin . she needed a good row thru the gears :)
The MV was one of the most well done projects. The first MV I ever saw was in 1971, and a MOTOGUZZI was parked next to it.
That is the first time when Jay is not asking and the guest is answering, but when they both are just geeking out over bikes they had and know about. So awesome to see ))))
"... and remember, it doesn't matter how uncomfortable you are as long as you look good riding it".
Yeah...I always hated that forward leaning low handlebar design. Major neck and upper back pain if you drive them a long time. I has something similar on my BWM K100RS back in the late 80's.
I think those exact words were in my divorce paperwork.
M McBride, ahahahahahahaha
1954 panhead for me.. real men ride rigid's soft tails are for girls.. support your local 81..
hot rod daddy I rode a hard tail for 15 mins until I didn’t miss a pot hole and didn’t stand up in time...the sob crushed my family jewels. Watch ya nads dude lol
What a lovely bike! Thanks Jay, Stuart and cameramans!
I thought Michael Schumacher was the only one who you could see his chin when under a helmet. . . . then there's Jay ! 😁
Jay has more chin than a Chinese phone book
Andrew Mcgibbon , Chins.
I love it when they talk about Hondas. Honda always made good looking bikes.
Whatsamatta' you ? That exhaust is symphonic !
there is nothing sadder then to see your heroes getting older,
Jay is moving way slower, walking slower, leaning on stuff, and in general, i don't know...
i hope he will live until 120 well and healthy
he will always be my Hero
Lol love these guys and their mock accents. Jay always does it, never gets old.
Love that cast finish ...almost sounds like a two-stroke
I believe most of the audio track is of the Chase bike with camera man. The 3 cylinder Jay is driving, absolutely does not sound like that...
@@theda850two I'd be willing to bet that the cameraman is not on a motorcycle LOL
The chase 'bike' providing the audio does a great job with his voice-over as well, eh?
'tis an absolutely wonderful thing to read another's opinion and determine it has absolutely no effect on your own...
Imagine the crackle when its opened up... drool
@Gabriel Godina ,, it's good to have an opinion. ( - :
As a high school kid, my dream bike was the Honda CB 400-4. Just ran across a clean totally stock 75 at the Honda shop in Victorville yesterday. Someday one will end up in my garage.
It was John Surtees and Mike Hailwood gave the bike a huge name in racing back in the 1950s
" Ago "too.
This is a great episode in my opinion. The bikes are cool, so is the guest and Jay appears determined to get every last penny out of his leather jacket.
TDIL: Jay uses Mcdonald’s hamburgers for measurement of width.
It's a great bike, just needs better exhaust. It's beautiful to look at for sure.
Agreed. First scene: I thought hmm those pipes sound far too trebly. Makes it sound like a little 250
Agree, it was a little loud for my taste.
The sound from those pipes made me smile and made my day!
My first bike was in 1978 at age 16 and it was a 1966 PUCH 250 SGS... Wish I still had it!

What a show. Great bike and wonderful to have a guy like Stuart Parr on the show! I loved it. Superb.
Thanks Jay I always enjoy the bike videos.
April 30! Happy Birthday, Jay.
Every week, every video just gets more interesting and entertaining. The essential automotive channel.
That Bike is like a Supermodel that EVERYONE wants to Ride !! .. Gorgeous))
That matching helmet though! And it fits Jays Head!

LOL, I thought that was an odd reference.

He turned 70 on April 30th
Jack Again Oh WoW! He’s a Taurus ♉️ too. (:
So in Canada it would be called CARP. Pfffft

The test bike looks like it was running way lean, judging by how far down the pipes are blued. I hope they got that sorted.
The sound of that triple through those megaphone pipes...WOW
,,, Sorry to say, but most all of the audio you are hearing is of the Chase bike with camera man. It is too bad, because those 3 cylinders have such a wonderful sound, but we really didn't ever get to hear it well.
I can’t even think of how many hours went into building that tank! Beautiful craftsmanship.
That exhaust note would really annoy really quickly.
Yeah, same. Gotta believe that could be fixed.
Yeah, it's great for a while, but will wear on you. I do like the sound at idle. Sounds like a big angry hornet.
Not exactly a continent crossing machine.. I think it would be an overall massively enjoyable late night/sunday cruiser
Just put some baffles in.
Just keep going faster until you can't hear it ;- )
And that gorgeous matching helmet! Gotta be a story there in itself.
My goodness they put the modern engine into this beautiful beautiful old style designed motorcycle ... MV Agusta 750 S reloaded :)
The helmet matches so well, awesome
Those pipes would drive me nuts. But could listen to you all day.
I like this guy, he's very chill to listen to
“ L4 / L5 Disc Problems “ - is not Disc Brake Engineering Problems - Orthopedic Surgeon Ergonomic Problems
Yeah, I would be in rehab for a month after riding that bike.
Jay usually name-drops his McLaren; when on motorcycles, his Brough-Superior(s). This was the first video when his guest could out-name-drop him with all of his tasty MV's. But he did it in a nice way
God it sounds like a two stroke parallel twin! I like it.
Braaap is strong with this one.
That bike just oozes charm and style , looks fun not over powered not to big and half the enjoyment i bet would be listening to that sweet sound as you go through the gears. I need it!!!

never saw an italian bike that looked good or ran good.
It's great that a McDonald's single patty hamburger is a unit of measurement for Jay.
Yeah, cool bikes. With 110 hp on the 2020 Stuart Parr Design MV Agusta Magni that must scoot pretty good! Thanks Jay.
Great video Jay. My bike isn't as nice as yours, but your video made me take it out for a ride, nonetheless. Keep doing what you do. Love the vids.
I see my father's 73 V7 sport with the exception of the engine. Beautiful bike.
mv agusta are just gorgeous motorcycles
Jay... I commend you for sacrificing your back for us the viewers. But man you look good on the MV. I wish you would do an episode on the ducati 748 916 996 998 series, to follow up on the sexy bikes of Italy.
Here i am again learning something new
Jay can drive or ride anything and that's cool.
Jay put his helmet on the tank so I guess he's buying this bike
I was thinking the same thing , you know he's going to have one of the fifty their going to make .
Scratches from Jay add value. :)
Well,
the matching helmet red, white & blue that fits him, looks like
He’s a new owner 🏍
the helmet is leather lined

40 years ago and $13,500....damn.

21:17 "filmed in CinemaScope"...straight from the 70s. Fun video. Thanks Jay.

love the helmet that syncronize the color of bike, old school style also..
😍
Nice little plug for Maccas,Jay, Bike grilled burgers, oil sauce extra!!
I remember when they came out (yeah - I know!) and my most memorable thought was, "I can't get over how incredibly sexy that (fuel) tank looks!!"!
That sound alone makes me want one!
Great looking bike, I have a cb360 and I would love to ride something like this! I just recently painted the tank on mine and even that wasn't easy.
One thing I don't like about this one is the sound. Doesn't sound like anything special at all.
When I was working in a PSA shop and starting 441 Victor's while Seated on the saddle my total weight was 131 lb I used to drool about the MV Augustus. The funny thing about the 441 Victor it was tuned properly and you knew the proper drill it was an easy bike to start.
This is relevant to my interests, it sounds so damn good too
Just to be clear, these are two older gentlemen discussing pre-1974 MV Agusta motorcycles and their legend. Since 1996, MV is really just a boutique manufacturer, selling toys to rich folks. The Brutale is nothing special, except the price tag.

Absolutely beautiful bikes. Love ‘em.
what a great bike, from probably the greatest maker.
