MV Agusta F4 750cc. Owned by me.

This beautiful machine first appeared in the late 1990’s at the Milan show and stunned all who viewed her. She was conceived by Claudio Castiglioni and designed by Masino Tambourini and Andreas Godggie (applogies for spelling errors –I’m working from memory). The engine is a conventional straight four, except that it has radial valves, and for those not familiar with this concept – radially displaced valves can be made larger than those of normal valve configuration for the same cylinder bore allowing greater more efficient breathing. The engine will rev to 13,000RPM. They are still the most beautiful bike ever made.
