Speed is nothing more than distance over time. And time, as well all know, is money. Welcome to the rare MV Agusta F4 312RR – a bike designed to go as fast as it looks. In this case the “312” stands for kilometers per hour, which is the purported top speed of this sexy Italian…
Massimo Tamburini was a founder of Bimota, head of design at Cagiva, and designer of the legendary Ducati 916. The Castiglioni brothers commemorated Tamburini in 2005 with a special edition of the F4 1000. The very leading edge machine had variable-length intake runners, single-sided magnesium swingarm, and full carbon bodywork. The numbered edition of 300…
We already know the MV Agusta lineup is a pretty exclusive affair. Originally conceived as a 750cc model to re-launch the historic brand, the F4 eventually grew to 1,000cc and spawned many “Limited Edition” models. From the original 750cc Oro (like this one here), through the Neiman Marcus Edition, the Ayrton Senna tribute (both the…
Meccanica Verghera Agusta, the firm originally founded by Count Giovanni Agusta to produce airplanes way back in 1923 was reborn as MV Agusta in post WWII Italy to produce scooters and small motorcycles. As the 1940s and 1950s turned into the 1960s and 1970s, MV Agusta steadily increased the displacement and performance of their bikes,…
From the VERY talented pen of Massimo Tamburini – co-founder and chief designer of Bimota (including the DB1), father of the Cagiva Mito, author of the Ducati 916/748 design language and more – comes a swan song. Tamburini closed out his storied motorcycle design career with the passion to bring MV Agusta back to life.…
Update 3.1.2017: Relisted due an overseas buyer that backed out. Links updated with new listing links. Good luck to buyers and seller! -dc If you are looking for the ultimate variant of the iconic Ducati 748, look no further. The RS model – intended strictly for competition – is the baddest of the baby 916s.…
MV Agusta certainly got the basic components right when they introduced their exotic and achingly-beautiful F4 750, but it was down on power and a member of the suddenly superfluous 750 class. Luckily, they were easily able to bump their displacement to play in the liter-bike class, although the new MV Agusta F4 1000 was…
The Paso was more revolutionary than evolutionary, with square-tubing frame, full bodywork, and two-barrel Weber carburetor. Despite reviewing well, the Webers had some rideability issues, and the love-it-or-hate-it styling as well as the import price stranded the bikes in the showroom. With sales under a thousand per year, the bikes are now a rarity and…
