Don't really do modern bikes, most are just soulless pieces of matt black plastic. The original F4 Augusta is however one of the most beautiful motorcycles ever made, so Sad if this is true....

The MV is a beautiful looking bike.

It isn't so comfortable to ride though, not a lot of steering lock and yer nads are right up to the tank lol.

It is a shade quicker than the 70's bikes too of course ..............

As Charlie said, beautiful bike, but horrible to ride.

I have a f4, it is a stunning bike, but can't ride them in town , a complete horror, you must get out the road and be doing at least 60+ to take the weight off your wrists , once going faster the handling is superb and the noise from the 4 exhausts is pure music, you go up and down gears just to hear it . Plenty bikes faster but it has a soul

Anyone fancy one??

Yes but I found them difficult to buy..owners not really wanting to sell etc

It can be a problem!

Couldn't wait to get rid of mine, lovely attention to detail but the most uncomfortable bike I have ever ridden (with the exception of a 'HamYam rd400 in the 70's).

MY F4312RR was a great bike to ride , i disagree that they are really uncomfortable , no more so than your modern superbike.

The front end and brakes were the best i have ever experienced and they are a quick bike when wound up.

I only sold mine through lack of use and could not justify have a bike that value sitting around, also I hated doing anything to it, I had the impression it was a bit fragile.

Hence I Sold it and at the time got myself a ZX10R, almost as good , (front brakes are crap in comparison) but easily as much fun more brutal and less than half the price.
