MV Agusta F4CC

21 October 2009
News image Harley-Davidson might be trying to find a buyer for the Italian marque that it bought outright in 2008, but that hasn’t stopped them launching a brand new model. The MV Agusta F4CC is a motorcycle masterpiece from the mind of Claudio Castiglioni, Managing Director of MV Agusta, hence the CC initials. 


With only 100 made and just one available in the UK, the MV F4CC is the ultimate hyper-performance superbike, with a top speed of 195mph. Exotic materials, latest technology and stunning styling make it more than just a motorcycle. This extraordinary bike, on sale at £49,999, deserves a place in any dream garage.


The F4CC is unique.  Every item has been carefully designed then hand-built using exotic materials just about everywhere. The fairing is 100% carbon-fibre while the tailor-made filler cap comes from the aero industry.


 

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.
