Overview[edit | edit source]
MV Agusta F4 Claudio Castiglioni
An italian dream
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 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 doesnt matter if the ignition keys are never turned in the lock, if the bike rests on a stand in someones 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 Castiglionis 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 doesnt 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.
The lady in black 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 number. The deliberate contrast between painted areas and bare carbon-fibre, between the fairing, the tank and the tail create a piece of modern architecture. Only in the prestige sector of the automotive field can such exclusive design be found. Red lines emphasis the CC on the fairing as does the F4 signature. There is however much more. The instrument panel has customised graphics and the all-black Alcantara saddle uses different fabrics on the top and side areas. You will understand why nothing has been left to chance in this project. As we mentioned before, apart from the fact that 90% of the components are made as one-off items including the fork feet, the upper steering plate, the steering damper, the brake and clutch fluid reservoir, the gear change and brake levers, the footpegs and the side stand. As you can see, the MV F4CC uses special materials built by CRC (Centro Ricerce Cagiva) just about everywhere. The fairing is 100% carbon-fibre and the tailor made filler cap comes from the aero industry. All the protective meshes at the intake ducts and outlets at the tail are made from titanium. The same applies to the lower radiator and the four racing exhausts that form the classic organ pipe arrangement.
