thats gorgeous! One of the greatest looking bikes in the world, only the Ducati 916/996 is as good looking and both designed by the same guy IIRC?
True, same guy Tamburini but I like to think he was just warming up with the 916 and got it just right with the MV Agusta F4
All modern bikes are fast but I love the way MVs feel. Edited as I've just noticed the spelling mistake.

In the first picture you will See one of two official ferrari commissioned MV Agusta F$s. Asked to be built by MV agusta president Geovanni Castiglioni,Luca whos personal friend is Luca montezemolo who is the president of Ferrari. They were built to commemorate Schumacher's first F1 world championship win for Ferrari in 99. One went to F1 driver Micheal Schumacher and one to Castiglioni.
Regarding MV Agustas relationship with Ferrari, a ferrari engine designer had input in the development of the MV F4s cylinder heads. Also as the MV F4s designer Tamburini was designing the exhaust system. It is said that he striped down and studied the ferrari F40 exhaust system.
And finally at the unveiling of the brand new MV Agusta F4, the MV president Castiglioni thanked ferrari president Montezemolo for ferraris participation in the making of the bike even though it was marginal. History lesson over now chaps
Also in the pictures bellow is one on my two MV Agusta F4s, the one in the picture has been signed by MV Agusta racing great Agostini "AGO" The other picture is a scooter that i have dressed in the Ferrari F1 livery
I have owned MV Agustas for 7 years now and IMO they have made two many of them now they have been saved. Also there are indeed 18 F$ Variants of the F4, which again IMO is over the top.
Lets hope the get another bike out very soon and stop living of the laurels of the great but now old F4.

No harm taken I see where you are coming from but hey nearly every bike tested in MCN or cars in mags show the registrations, but didn't notice the key ring! Not registered to my pal anyway he is only borrowing it.

Isnt Carl racing the MV Agustas soon???
There has been talk of it BTBH I'm not all that sure of the current situation.
Would be good to see the ugly sod back though.
IIRC Barefoot is quite good mates with foggie, hence my original question about whether he owns an AMV8 (or atleast owned) too.

Yea, It all points towards him, a great English sportsman.
