$120,000 MV Augusta F4cc

The figures for the new MV speak for themselves: 315 kph (195 mph) top speed (auto-limited by tire specification). Unique in its genre, sculptured by his friend Massimo Tamburini, made with luxurious design and high components hidden in the MV closet, 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 runâ€. 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.

In addition to what the components in full view let us sense, the F4CC in its elegant black dress underlines the elegance and sophistication of a beautiful woman in a “little black numberâ€.

Looks awesome,

But it's way beyond my means, for only 1 bike.

I love the part about..."it doesn't matter if the ignition keys are never turned in the lock" (quote).  I mean, here you have a "beautiful woman in a little black number" (quote), and you're not going to ... ride her? You're just going to...stare?

With the Busa...
I can't just look at the Hayabusa, I just can't. I go back for second helpings after a long ride...and I'm still hungry for more.

Repost,

but

I'll never get tired of looking at that beautiful bike!!!

 

[steelhead]

oops. my bad. after reading the description, the ad just seemed so out there.

I ran across this a while ago, after finding out my next assignment might be in Germany (also my last assignment before retirement). I began looking at Duc's, BMW's, Aprilia and then MV's. When I seen the ad for the F4CC I about stained my boxers. But, if the means were there, not only would I buy one, I'd ride it...even try the Nurburgring

Yeah I'm sick like that, but it would be one of those stories that would be shared among grandchildren "hey did you know Granpa had a 2007 MV F4CC? He actually raced it around the Nurburgring in Germany one time too!" Of course it would probably be followed with "and he's is the only one out of the 100 made to total it!" Sweet machine though.

A couple of years ago when I was looking at buying an MV, a contractor in Kansas City had bought one the week before to just put in the front of his Office so people could look  

at it. Infact, I was told that a Professor (Art) at the local University had one just sitting in his Living Room as an Art Object .

Strange

, must be something in the water  

in KC

 

[heavybusa]

I have never seen on in person, but they must be something special.

I'm not seeing it in these pics.

None the less it is a great bike.

If I had that you could not stop me from riding it.

 

[shortBoarder]

I'd buy two of the Ducati Desmos for $60K/each instead.

 

[monster]

If you had money to burn then why the hell not? I've seen 1 MV in person once and yes it was all that

 

[dadofthree]

 

[thepushercg]

if i owned it , i would be riding it more than a mile or two

 

[Guclu]

very expensive and not matching value of that money , Busa forever !

 

[rybraun]

If I had cash I'd have one! Beautiful.

Anyone remember when Calvin Klien and Hilfiger jeans were $200 jsut because there was a brand name sewn down the side of the leg? smells like the same thing to me here. I'm sure it's a very good bike and yeah, I'd take one, but it still doesn't impress me more than any other very good bike. And the whole part about sitting in some one's living room... TO ME, it is not THAT artistic. It does nothing new. Wheels, fairing, seat, tank, etc... all look like any other bike to me

Now, someone mentioned stories for grandkids... I would almost guarentee that kids remember the name "Hayabusa" over another numbered bike name. I bet they would be more impressed with "Grandpa rode the world's FASTEST bike" over the world's most expensive door stop - depending on the values they were raised with, of course.

PROTOTYPES are artistic. This is just another overpriced bike

$.02

quote (wwjd): "...door stop..."

Correction: hand crafted Carbon Fiber Titanium Mesh Door Stop.

Hilarious!

You guys can not appreciate Fine Bikes when you have a ZILLION Dollars  

and NOTHING else to spend it on. Why do you think the Confederate Motorcycles (starting at $69,000, are uncomfortable, HOT  

, and unbearablely LOUD  

  and breaK down immediately) sell so well
