Mambatized: 2005 MV Agusta F4 1000 Mamba
I know these are serious bikes but I catch myself laughing every time I see the word “Mamba”. I always flash back to the episodes of Wild Boyz where they would put a black sock on their hand and smack someone who was in deep sleep. It was a Black Mamba attack. Sophmoric humor but what can I say, I always laughed.
The other thing I think of when I see these special MV’s is how the prices have plummeted. I really can’t think of a single special model MV that has held some value. It is a buyers market when a bike is priced at $13,000 (or best offer) and the kit alone ran $10,000 back in 05.
Only 2,400 miles on her my friends.
We’ve listed the info on the Mamba’s before but for the searching impaired here is the list of what was included in the full Mamba kit:
- Carbon Fiber front mudguard, Red/Clear painted
- Titanium treated Red-tint windscreen
- Carbon Fiber front fairing, Black/Clear painted

Obviously the Mamba kit is a visual kit and not a performance type kit but only 300 were produced so you do get exclusivity. For the offering price why not get a unique MV?
Slap a sexy exhaust system on there and you have a damn nice bike.

“Slap a sexy exhaust system on there and you have a damn nice bike”
What!?!
You do know they hired an organist to help design that exhaust, right?
An organist? What does that have to do with motorcycles? I’m just giving you a hard time. What I had in my mind was one of MV’s optional ti race exhaust systems that they have offered.
That’d be okay. I love that exhaust and this bike. Slicker than owl shit.
Oh, that is new one and I like it. I can’t wait to use slicker than owl shit in a post.
