The figures for the new MV speak for themselves: 315 kph (195 mph) top speed (auto-limited by tyre specification). Unique in its genre, sculptured by his friend Massimo Tamburini, made with luxurious design and high components hidden in the MV closet, right in that corner where the embryo start to develop: the MV AGUSTA racing department. This model however will never see a race track in earnest due to the size of its engine.
THE EQUIPMENT DIFFERENCES WITH THE F4R
The F4 CC is at the absolute top of the F4 hierarchy. The main differences between it and the more “commercial” F4R can be summed up as follows:
- over 90% of the components are individually tailor made;
- brake and clutch levers that “fold” at the tip in the event of a fall;
- 1078 cc engine;
- 200 CV maximum power with titanium racing exhaust system;
- new timing system;
- smaller alternator;
- one-off mechanical type slipper clutch;
- new forks interior set-up and mono shock absorber
- Brembo Racing monoblock brakes;
- kerb weight 187 kilos without fuel.
THE BIGGEST NEWS LIES IN THE ENGINE
MV increased the bore from 76 mm to 79 and left the stroke unchanged at 55 mm. Cubic capacity thus became 1078 cc – the maximum obtainable from this engine.
The MV Agusta racing department managed by Andea Goggi worked to improve internal fluid dynamics by polishing ducts to gain a few CV.
The new combustion chamber geometry was part of an overall reworking of the heads where computer controlled equipment guaranteed work of the very highest order. The pistons were made lighter than those in the 1000 and con-rod geometry was changed.
The real difference however lies in the timing system that was made from different sized exotic materials for each and every element. The intake and exhaust valves are still radial (unique MV AGUSTA figure), but are now titanium and the intake valves are now bigger measuring 31 instead of 29 mm. With the wider bore, changes were also needed to the camshaft profile. On the other hand, the valve bowls (still steel) ...

 crazybatman (14-11-2006): Euh bon, puisqu'on est dans le domaine du fantasme, je préfère de loin la ducati desmodici qui coûtera tout de même moitié moins cher avec inclus dans le prix 3 ans d'entretien, une housse moto, une béquille paddock, et pour ceux qui sont restés un peu enfant, des jolis stickers sponsors... elle est pas belle la vie!
ps: c'est combien l'assurance d'un tel joujou?
