New In The Crate (If You Want It): 2006 MV Agusta F4CC R.I.P. Claudio Castiglioni

This entry has been published on August 17, 2011 and links to eBay may have been updated to point to similar bikes of interest.

The man who brought Ducati back from the brink, MV back from the dead and put his initials on this bike has passed away. Claudio Castiglioni apparently had been ill in Italy for a short time. Hopefully MV Agusta has someone with the will and foresight to lead the company well into the future.

This MV has been babied to above Bimota standards. It hasn’t turned a wheel on the street and he has the watch, the cover and even the crate if you’d like it! You may remember the original MSRP was 120,000 cool ones. This one is being offered at $55,000 OBO. He already has an offer but I don’t think he will go for my offer of two helmets and a case of Motul.

Nice! I’ve never noticed that detail work before. You are buying art as much as a motorcycle.

Pretty but not as sexy as some of the rear sets Bimota has designed.

Are you going to be the one to cut the tag off of it? I totally understand collecting bikes but this might be a bit over the top.
