Default MV Agusta F4CC

F4CC
“I decided to put my name to this bike as I originally dreamed of it for myself”. This is how Claudio Castiglioni, the Managing Director referred to the new F4 that now carries his initials “CC”. The boss of MV did what any of us might well have done and gave in to his inner instincts, gave in to the temptation to create a motorbike, not just to meet strategic market needs, but to create something really special, something truly magnificent - just for the sake of it. To create the F4CC project, he obviously utilised everything at his disposal; exclusive materials and the latest technology to attain the utmost in performance. The figures for the new MV speak for themselves: 315 kph (195 mph) top speed (auto-limited by tyre specification) for 100,000 euros. Unique in its genre, sculptured by his friend Massimo Tamburini, made with luxurious design and high components hidden in the MV close, right in that corner where the embryo start to develop: the MV AGUSTA racing department. This model however will never see a race track in earnest due to the size of its engine. What is important is the uniqueness of the F4CC project and the name that it carries. It doesn’t matter if the ignition keys are never turned in the lock, if the bike rests on a stand in someone’s home or if it only does the occasional mile or two to “give it a run”. What does matter for a true enthusiast is to possess just one of the 100 models made and treat it as if it were a priceless painting worth millions. This was part of Claudio Castiglioni’s dream. This is why the F4CC will be presented in “an evening dress” A specially boxed certificate of origin will make the delivery of each machine something very special - more a ceremony. Each machine will have a platinum plate at the top of the steering column bearing the model number from 1 – 100. The F4CC titanium exhausts and engine management unit together have the task of taming the power of the 1078 cc engine yet making it “sing” even sweeter when unleashing all of its 200 CV. The F4CC doesn’t just want to entice with its looks - it wants to out-perform everything else. It wants to leave everyone stunned – for once and for all.

Absolute sexyness, but quite an expensive and exotic way to try and kill yourself!

Best looking bike I've seen in years! A bit on the pricey side though!

haha, its not the best bike ever by any stretch of the imagination.

Besides, there are MV Agusta owners making replicas of the F4CC for less then half the price. Goes to show you this bike is only for the true suckers of the world. Prolly half the buyers wont ever ride it more than twice before they lock it in a collection.

The F4CC is way overpriced, way overweight, and probably about as reliable as....well.....as an MV Agusta. Not only that I'd be willing to place bets a slightly modded K7 Gixxer 1000 or R-1 would be able to out lap it and you can pick one of those up for about $10,000-11,000.

On the plus side it is sexy as all hell.
