Somewhere in Florida, a ’06 MV Agusta F4 CC is crying silently on a showroom floor. Like a greyhound in a crate, a F1 car in LA traffic jam, a or dolphin in a goldfish bowl, this is just wrong. Sure it is pretty to look at…but it was made to MOVE! Unfortunately, with the rarity and expense of the CC model, it is likely to be purchased as a work of art and simply parked once again. The “CC” in the naming stands for Claudio Castiglioni, who was running the rebirth of MV Agusta (having already saved Cagiva/Ducati, Husqvarna, and a solid attempt with Moto Morini). Sadly, Claudio passed in 2011, which might elevate the value of these models even further. The CC model F4 is based on the R spec engine, and was produced to a grand total of 100 units. These are coveted bikes and represent the very best in motorcycle design, manufacture, and marketing. The CC was also frightfully expensive, topping the MV range and prompting the New York Times to proclaim it “a motorcycle for moguls.” It was so exclusive it came with a Girard-Perregaux watch included as part of the purchase. Consider this your ‘half off’ sale opportunity!

I will never understand why people would pay for a bike simply because it was a limited edition color scheme. F4cc, senna versions of the MV Agusta or Ducati, Fila version of the 998…I just dont get it
It’s not just a limited edition badge or color scheme. Most people wouldn’t think it was a good price at orig msrp (but they all were sold) but the used market seems to be in the $40k-60k range depending on if everything originally is included (jacket, watch).

“MV claims 90 percent of the components on this bike are handmade, including the fork bottoms, upper triple clamp (complete with a platinum tag engraved with the bike number and the owner’s name), steering damper housing, fluid reservoirs, levers, rearsets and even the sidestand, all machined individually by CRC (Centro Ricerce Cagiva or Cagiva Research Center). The bodywork (including the fuel tank) is pure carbon-fiber couture, the protective ducting mesh is made from titanium and the saddle is covered in the finest faux suede from Alcantara,”
Ok, some of that stuff is cool like the bodywork but saying that the seat cover is “the finest faux seude”….sounds like they are struggling to justify a higher price than the standard bike. Also, as far as I know, none of the changes made any difference from a performance standpoint over say an Oro.
MARTY….I’m not an advocate of these limited edition MV’s,but the last sentence of your post clearly indicates that you have no idea what you are talking about in regards to this marque.
The F4 cc is much faster than a standard one of 2006 ,the engine is bigger (the same 1078 cc) than the f4 made some year later…
but the engine is tuned from factory with porting of head and many internals made different, the exhaust Casatiglione made from titanium only for this bike and have an incredible sound…all the bike is similar but totally different from a normal F4 .
