VOL. 50 ISSUE 6 FEBRUARY 12, 2013 bella – see you around. Maybe… So for someone like me who's had an MV Agusta F4 750 tucked up in his garage for the past 14 years (which has one-quarter of the miles under its wheels that a certain Italian V-twin I've owned for half that time has on it), the fact that the oneliter versions of what the late Claudio Castiglioni termed Massimo Tamburini's works of "Motorcycle Art" were beautiful to look at but less than fulfilling P63 to ride, meant that I'd never been tempted to trade my 750 in for one of them. Now, however, I (and many others like me) am faced with a crunch decision, thanks to the advent of the completely revamped range of 998cc F4 models launched by MV Agusta under the direction of Claudio's son Giovanni – motorcycles all powered by the same ultra short-stroke Corsacorta version of the company's established radial- The MV Agusta F4 is stunning to look at. Well, now it's equally as impressive to ride.
