According to our weekend reporter, Tad, “Introduced in 1998, the MV Agusta F4 750 heralded the return of one of the most storied brands in motorcycling history. Designed by Massimo Tamburini, it was utterly gorgeous, and featured an exotic radial-valve engine supposedly developed in conjunction with Ferrari. Unfortunately it was also hideously expensive and, before the bike was widely available to the public, it was eclipsed in terms of performance by the brand new 1000cc sportbikes that would rapidly make the 750cc class obsolete. Those new superbikes cost much less, weighed the same as the F4, and provided significantly more power. An updated F4 1000 appeared in 2005 that rectified the power disadvantage, but it was still very expensive, very uncomfortable, and a bit heavy, compared to bikes like the GSX-R1000. Considering how beautiful the F4’s design is, the company wisely felt little need to mess around with wild colors or graphics throughout the F4’s production run. The early bikes were classic MV silver-and-red”
That bike was a 2006 in blue and silver listed for $12k and last January a 2005 in red and silver bid to $10k on BaT. Seems like this sale is in the right ball park.
The seller is correct in stating that these were released at a hefty price, making them rare from the get-go. More photos are in the ebay listing, so definitely check it out.
Sweet bike! Gotta love the Italian designs.
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
