MV Agusta F4CC

Italian styling can be seen in the deliberate contrast of painted areas and bare carbon-fibre, creating a striking work of modern motorcycle art. The instrument panel has customised graphics and the all-black seat is made from Alcantara material as used in supercars by Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati.
With a price tag of just under £50,000 there is as much behind the fairing as in front, which justifies such a high figure. The F4 frame is made from chrome molybdenum that, whilst being very light, offers the rigidity that a superbike putting out more than 200 horses must have. The swingarm and frame plates are superlight magnesium.
Not one item is made using traditional industrial methods. The pistons have been lightened and con-rod geometry changed, with all the engine internals made from exotic materials for each and every element.
The intake and exhaust valves are still radial (a unique MV Agusta feature) but are now titanium and the intake valves are now 2mm bigger.
The MV Agusta F4CC will soon be on display at London Superbikes, Park Lane, Mayfair. Visit www.mvagusta.co.uk to find out your nearest dealer. Page 1 |
