Here's what the title says...

Make...MV Agusta Model..F4-750S Shipping Weight...425 HP...118 G.V.W.R. 717?

What's this gvwr? Anyone know?

I am registering it during lunch, and will pick it up on 5-27, and ride it home, maybe a 200 mile trip. More to follow...lost more.

I have had my f4s for a month now and have managed to get it insured this week,as a result it has rained every day just as i get in from work. I am hoping to take the bike to the TT in a couple of weeks(i live in the uk) but if it is not run in by then i will take my 916.

GVWR is the gross vehicle weight, in other words the weight of the bike plus the max payload. Obviously an important number for trucks and a used to detirmine taxation in some locales.

BTW, congratulations! I received mine a few weeks ago. You will be very happy. Do not be concerned if the brakes don't seem to work well. Mine needed a great deal of breaking in. Now the back wheel can be pulled off the ground easily. I was planning to take the MV to the DOCC Rally at Mosport this weekend for a real report on the performance but a highside incident at last weekend's race(not the MV!)has cancelled that.
