MV Agusta F4

[[FFOUR]]

As requested in another thread here are some photos of the new ride.

Always dreamt of owning an Italian exotic, the cars are a bit expensive so this is the next best thing.

The sound is intoxicating, sounds like it has a MoTeC at idle and then the induction roar when riding is amazing....hard to not go way too fast. Capable of a high 10sec/130+mph 1/4 mile so its more than enough bike for me! Slowly easing my way into it.

Won't do much to it, got a few carbon fibre pieces on the way so it'll mainly be cosmetic changes.

Details:
750cc engine developed with the help of Ferrari
135hp/185kg (nice power/weight ratio)
Nissin 6 pot brakes/320mm rotors
Showa forks
Ohlin steering damper
Designed by the legend, Massimo Tamburini

Awesome photo.

Such an amazing bike,
What carbon fibre pieces you going to add? coz it could be a bit hard to better perfection.

[DJ84WA]

:droul:

DO WANT!!!

[[FFOUR]]

Thanks everyone. I'll try and get some video later in the week.

Correct.

Front fender (rear is already cf), heel plates, exhaust shield, injector covers (triangle shaped ones on either side) and swingarm cover. They are all black plastic/metal at this stage so the change won't be that noticeable, but will look nicer.

[Halle Terry]

Stunning bike, not much compares to MV's other then Bimota's.

Massive jealousy

[flamo_damo]

Very fucking bombed, DO WANT!!!

[hako]

This the one in The Dark Knight?
Hotness.

[Butcher]

I like what augusta have done with the pipes if only the rs 1000 had the same setup

[ho57ile]

WIN!!

That is a seriously stunning ride man, will we be seeing you on cruises??

Oh and +2 for vids

[my_s13]

very nice!

do you mind me asking how much that set you back?

[scj91]

Wow.

Favourite bike in the world :)

[Kilma]

Seeing as you never did take me for a ride in the Evo, I might cash it in on this instead. Glad I could help sway your mind. Looks like it has paid off. Very nice bike man. Very jealous.

[SLEEKA]

i hate how bikes can bust out stupidly quick 1/4 mile times straight out of the box... jealous :D

the bike looks amazing

[[FFOUR]]

This the one in The Dark Knight?
Hotness.

Yeah that was also an F4 of some sort.

Yeah I might turn up to some meetpoints, not too keen on riding in a group of unknown cars on the actual cruise though.

Haha, shit I forgot! Fly over to QLD and I'm sure the new owner will take you for a spin! Yeah you are partly to blame for me doing this....thanks. :hahano:

[waxdass]

[yeahlow34]

As said in the other thread, fucking epic bike.

Absolutely love the shit out of these things. I'd say best bike money can buy :) Hope to see you cruising out and about on it!

[Chrus]

Where are the pedals Jan?

I joke - stunning bike mate. It has some decent pedigree. When can i get a test ride.... :D

[Riggs]

MV's just oooze sex. Good choice

Men and women get damp pants as you ride past on one of those. I like, a lot.

So whens the next AL bike run???

[[FFOUR]]

Augusta MV F4 = Gauranteed Sex.

[Nismo33]

Keen for next anti-lag bike run, even though I only have an old peice of shit atm she still goes alright.

[[FFOUR]]

Hehe nice poster, shame that chick didn't come with mine. :(

Nismo33 - yeah love it, more than fast enough for me. Haven't been able to ride it as much as I would hope gives me a big smile each time I do.

[Huy]

Farkk. I want.

[Butcher]

Were you out riding in the chittering valley around lunch on the 5th april ie juilimar rd i spotted the same/similar bike

[Fozzy]

Too many bends in that road for Jan.. He is more a Cafe strip kinda guy :P

[[FFOUR]]

Were you out riding in the chittering valley around lunch on the 5th april ie juilimar rd i spotted the same/similar bike

Nope, not me. Rode out to Midland on Saturday morning, that was it.

Its now at the dealership getting a service/checkup.

[blownVL]

bombed bike mate good to see something different not many people ride those

[[FFOUR]]

Few little things done to the bike since I got it.

Checkover at the dealership to replace grommets, screws and other bits and pieces with new ones (I sound like Joe!). Gold plated fairing pins. A few carbon fibre pieces added and the custom plates [FFOUR] arrived and fitted along with a fender eliminator kit.

Also getting a custom made alcantara seat done up, similar to the following design but with darker material and the F4 logo in red. Keep the red/green stitching. Should be a decent improvement of the fairly boring looking standard leather seat. Will take them about 2 weeks to make.

[WRCjosh]

always wanted to do alcantara on my gsxr, you've got taste jan!

[Joe]

LOL not quite...I spent $200 refurbishing the fasteners on my wheels :D

[Ibz]

that is fucking too hot...

[Kilma]

(I sound like Joe!)
As long as you aren't like Joe in the fact that your ride doesn't lave the garage, that's the important bit. Looking awesome man.

[[FFOUR]]

Haha, sat in the garage for a month while I was in Europe but the cobwebs are gone now - 200km on Sunday and another 100km on Tuesday night.

[Kilma]

Where was my invite? :( How rude!!

[[FFOUR]]

I think we go too slow for you! :lol:

[Riggs]

Where was my invite? :( How rude!!

Ditto! :p

[Joe]

LOL fark off, my car gets driven daily!!!

[Milhouse]

[Fryman]

[[FFOUR]]

S&T Motorcycle Art in Willeton. Steve, the guy who owns it, is never short of time to talk you through things so its great.

[[FFOUR]]

[Stef]

fuck thats hot.

[yeahlow34]

I wanna be on your bike.

Sexually.

[RGVFAST]

id be embarresed to ride that 250 along side the mv in public

[[FFOUR]]

Why? We all have to go through the 250 stage (unfortunately :p ) so nothing to be embarrassed about, regardless of what you ride with.

[EVLO]

250 > no bike at all.....

only 11 months of embarrassing riding left... :P

[Kilma]

Hahaha. Agreed though.

Looking nice Jan. Track day soon?

You getting into it and leaning over much, or babying it around almost upright?

[Jimmy_S]

id be embarresed to ride that 250 along side the mv in public

better to be riding next to it than driving behind it... dedicated stone chip machine! ;)

<3 Jan

[[FFOUR]]

Haha yeah sorry Jimmy! I guess thats why the cops would like me to not fit a fender eliminator kit.

[thommo]

cant you fit one and keep the nice carbon rear tyre hugger ?

[ho57ile]

Seriously one of the sexiest vehicles ever made.

[[FFOUR]]

cant you fit one and keep the nice carbon rear tyre hugger ?

Yeah no problems. You just get the big ugly plastic shit hanging down at the back.

This is what it looked like when I got it with QLD plates/rego and the full fender:

[thommo]

that is uncool haha. i just chucked a fender eliminator on my 250, much better !

atleast as of 2010 you wont need a rego sticker anymore too

[thommo]

i was meaning why cant you have a fender eliminator as the only thing you have really lost is a reflector as that rear hugger is still semi mud flap like

[EVLO]

rear hugger won't stop stones getting flung at cars behind you, only stops the underside of your bike copping them.. hence the need for a rear fender too..

[[FFOUR]]

I changed my exhaust tonight and while it was off I couldn't resist starting her up....the phone recording doesn't do it justice but you get some idea.

I don't think I'd get far like that before the cops stopped me though! :eek:

This bike is sooo hot mate, spotted another one the other day, thought it was you till I saw the numberplate.

[Skitzo]

[Dirty32]

Pretty sure I spot this often in mornings travelling West along Walcott St!
If it is, Looks fuken Horn mate!

Yep that'd be me! If its not raining or 40C I usually ride to work.

[Splat_man]

Jan,

is the exhaust an aftermarket item or is it just a new condition standard exhaust? Pipes look the same so i'm not sure.

[[FFOUR]]

Its just off a newer model MV which has the silver tips, luckily they are all interchangeable so it fits straight on.

Sounds slightly different under acceleration but it was mainly done for cosmetic reasons.

[got boost]

not quite the same but hows these for a R1
