Description
Click here for an CycleVIN Motorcycle History Report on this 2006 MV Agusta F4 1000. Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
In 2005, MV Agusta updated the F4 series with a 998cc engine, which bumped power up to 166 horses and top speed up to 184 miles per hour.
The upgraded engine was surrounded by quality components such as 50mm Marzocchi front forks, Sachs shock, and Nissin brakes, but for many riders the styling (particularly the quad organ pipe exhaust) stole the show. Most F4s were sold with a red/silver livery, but a small percentage were offered in a stunning blue/silver as well.
This example is VIN: ZCGAKFGM25V100206. The seller acquired it here on Iconic Motorbikes in October of 2020 from the owner of Corsa Garage, a shop specializing in Tamburni-era Ducati Superbikes.
The seller has kept the bike in storage at Iconic since purchase, except for one weekend where he joined us for an Iconic-hosted 2-day track event at Laguna Seca. He had us bring the bike up for him to ride, and then it went back into storage. Photo by Nathan May:
The odometer currently shows 17,244 miles.
Maintenance:
The previous owner had this MV serviced at Nichols Sportbikes roughly five years ago – the work included an oil/filter change, spark plugs, coolant flush, brake flush, and head cover gasket. Nichols performed a compression test with excellent results of (in psi): 200, 195, 200, and 200. The owner also had the forks serviced (new oil and seals) and set for a rider weight of 185 pounds at Catalyst Reaction Tuning.
In preparation for the Laguna track day last year, the seller had us flush the fluids, install new Pirelli Rosso Corsa tires, and prep the bike for track duty (tape lights/mirrors/wheel weights, pull headlight fuse, disconnect tail light) in July 2021.
In preparation for the listing, the seller had us re-install the headlight fuse and connect the tail light.
Modifications:
MV Agusta Special Parts catalog FGRT front end kit: features the MV Agusta logo machined into the billet bottoms, comes with top triple and handlebars. Original cost was €3,500 (approx. $4,100) and is designed to fit on a 2010+ F4 but the seller installed it with custom machined spacers, lines, Y10 front wheel, and Y10 2 piece carbon fiber front fender. Brembo M4 monobloc calipers.
Brembo RCS 19 brake master, weighted bar ends, custom steel braided Venhill brake lines.
Brembo RCS 16 clutch master and custom steel braided Venhill matching clutch line.
Ohlins steering damper, Rizoma reservoirs with clear fluid lines, F4 1000 branded tank protector.
HID headlight.
MotoCorse billet quick release fuel cap.
AEM Racing CNC machined billet rearsets with matching blue anodized caps.
ABM rear rotor.
Match-painted carbon fiber rear tail with exposed carbon and synthetic suede wrapped seat and pad.
Professionally cored exhaust with Arrow Racing cat delete mid pipe, exhaust wrap, carbon fiber heel guard.
EVO Fender eliminator, Rizoma LED rear turn signals, LED brake lights.
The kickstand is from a Y10 F4. The seller notes that it “reduces the lean of the bike compared to the stock kickstand, sort of like how you put a 1098 kickstand on a 998. The cool thing is the Y10 kickstand has a MV Agusta logo on it.”
Battery tender lead.
Modifications you can’t see include a custom EPROM from Adam Colley, a MV specialist in the UK (some MV fans know him as Merc07) for a more linear power delivery and lower temp fan trigger. “It also deletes the EBS so you can do your own rev matching down shifts. The OEM system wasn’t that great and most enthusiasts would eliminate this.” The rear brake master reservoir has been relocated with heat-sleeved tubing. There is also a Shorai lithium lightweight battery and a throttle spring delete “for a smoother twist and less resistance.”
