It's an inline 4.. so the Italians decided to go for an eye-candy 4 into 4 exhaust layout... :)

You will be surprised.. the 750 F4 has really not kept much value. There are number ofF4's that have changed hands in Houston for about $10,000.

They really are just slick engineering excercises - not that good on the road. Sorta like the Ducati... oh yeah, that's cause they are Eyetalian - more show than go ;) :P hehe

I'll stick with my $5k ZX7R, ten grand is too much to spend on a bike for where I am in life right now!

^^ Imagine the poor bugger who dropped $20K to get the first F4S that rolled around Houston... :P

There is no question that MVs are nice to look at (especially the flat black ones), but when it comes to actually riding the bike, there are far better choices.

awesome looks :shock: and great engineering , the only fault it`s that the Agustas are way too biased race track bikes , thus on a normal road they have the tendency to be anything but user friendly

still awesome machine :P

Not always true. Their street bikes are "poser" mobiles.. ;)

My RC45 was a "hand made for racing but sold with headlights to comply with 1994 homologation rules" bike - that was track reday out of the box, just waiting for the $100,000 HRC factory kit to take it to WSB levls.

And guess what, apart from the tall (100mph) 1st gear, it was the BEST road bike I have ever ridden bar none - weight, balance, poise, hamdling, seat position etc ;)

A correctly executed race bike can be a perfect road bike. :P

User friendly is why the RC45 was the single most winningest chassis/design in 750cc class racing - period. The bike was winning races and series from 1993 through 2001... all with the same homologated chassis from 1994 and 1995.

Ducati, Suzki, Yamaha, MV etc all redesigned and re-homologated their chassis every year - yet the RC45 was never rehomologated - until the they decided the handmade unobtanium RC45 was just too expensive to maintain and the RC51 arrived - because the FIM had decided to change the rules yet again to favour an Italian make.. ;) Sound familiar... :P
