Today we’re looking at the revival of MV Agusta and specifically how the original F4 shaped MV’s overall business model, one that looks quite a bit like Ferrari’s

MV Agusta . wont get you laid as much as a Ducati. Women know and love ducati. WTF is an MV Agusta they say.
I totally lost the dialogue at around 2.30, such is the beauty of the F4 ๐๐ป
Ferrari of motorbikes is Ducati. Period.
Ever since it came out when i was a kid, I've loved the F4. If you remember that this came out in the 90's is was far ahead of the competition in regards to design. Many of the Japanese bikes where going to take styling cues from it for years to come. Would love to own one one day!
So it is over priced breaks down and costs a fortune to fix and is slower than a supra turbo LOL
Nope, definitely Ducati, over priced, over rated, questionable styling for the last 40 years, stupid parts prices and shitty dealers make them EXACTLY like Ferrari.
Now japanese superbike sales are dying off as the euro bikes are superior to the japanese bikes .People now buy euro superbikes and pass on japanese superbikes . Euro manufactures record sales japanese sales taking a dive .
I just recently sold my Superveloce. While it was arguably one of the most visually appealing bikes I've ever owned, it just didn't retain its value. I took a bath on this thing and it took me over a year to sell. Not to mention the known rear brake problems that plague this model as well as others that MV refuses to fix. There are better value bikes for the money, this is for certain. Heck, my old Ducati 748 is more fun to ride. That's been my experience
I think MV is more like Lamborghini and the same for Ducati and Ferrari
Another great video Bart, shares something id been feeling and conceptualising for a while now. So, many thanks!
I bet the mv agusta forums are full of Karen's arguing about ferrari's involvement in the engine design.
Nastiest forum I have ever come across.
These bikes are so undervalued right now, is ridiculus.
The F4 and the original Brutale have changed bike design forever.
Ducati is more like Lamborghini…
I've always maintained that Suzuki copied MV Agusta's homework for the gixxer 1000 design
MV Augusta is the maserati of motorcycles imo
They aren't that exclusive. every differnt color option of the dragster is its own limited edition. like hundreds of different limited editions dont make the bike limited. It's the same reason why nfts failed, may be a limited supply in the project(color option) but nothing stopping someone from just makeing a new project(color option). eurocycle in vegas has like a line up of them if you really want one.
I owned one. Under powered, felt like a 600 and riding position was a killer. Every thing was forgiven when you got off though and took a look. Exhaust noise was cool and the sound from the air box was assume
MV Augusta is the Ferrari of Motelorcycles
Looks the a hyosung๐ cheap bike
How does Aprilia fit in to the picture?
Your 100% correct,
MV ALL THE WAY.
You missed out the Brutale, a superb rideable bike which makes MV accessible to a lot more riders.
In 2010, I was offered a brand new 2009 Brutale for about 60% of the 2010 model, by a small UK based sports car dealers who were branching out into MV Agusta bikes. I turned down the deal, and have of course regretted it ever since.
You are 100% correct when you describe MV Agusta as the Ferrari of motorcycles. Thank you for sharing.
A 750 or a 1000 cc???
Please clarify!!!
You do know Ferrari made a motorcycle so it'd be the actual Ferrari of motorcycles.๐
I own one and if Ferraris are as unreliable over priced poorly constructed,if you like well nuts and one time bolts,the worst bike I've ever owned,I thought my 2000 Triumph Daytona 955i was a pos this bike is awful I also own a 2004 Aprilia rsv factory and it is by far a superior bike,Italian bikes look awesome they are just completely unreliable and parts are beyond overpriced,servicing is also over the top if you use them,
Damn, this video makes me feel even more proud to own a MV Agusta F4 haha.
They are great bikes, but the dealer network is almost non-existent; and I live in the major metropolitan area here in the US. There used to be 3-4 dealers in the area, now there is only one left.
What about a video on the ferrari of the dirtbike world in tm racing.
You can't even put aftermarket parts to make it faster to race. but that bike is really a show in tell.i wouldn't ride the agusta to much.and and I will just keep it in the collection.and won't race with it.
AH YES. DUCATI, THE COMPANY OWNED BY LAMBORGHINI. THE TRUE FERRARI OF MOTORCYCLES ๐
No, I get it, Ducati, Moto Guzzi, MV Agustaโฆ I only wonder, why nobody ever mentions Aprilia? And not just RSV4 or Tuono, there are a fairly impressive collection of Aprilia motorcycles that actually beat Ducati on every corner that nobody even heard of.
Ducati is owned by Lamborghini
Some history/context on MV and Ago's run of championships:
When GP bike racing started up after the war in 1949 the Italians almost immediately began to dominate. Particularly in the 350/500cc classes. From the early 1950's until the mid 1960's the GP grids were a bunch of lads on Norton, AJS, Velocette, and BSA singles who desperately needed some prize money to pas for gas to the next race and maybe some salami and bread and a tire if they could swing it. The rest of the field were the Italians,: factory teams with supercharged V twins, triples, fours, and Moto Guzzi's 12,000 rpm V8. By 1957 the economy in Europe and Italy had improved enough so that people could afford cars and they stopped buying bikes. So the Italian manufacturers all got together and made a gentlemen's to leave GP bike racing. This was an agreement that Count Domenico Agusta immediately broke. His company was an aerospace company that mostly built helicopters and with the Cold War going strong he was doing just dandy. So from then until 1974 Surtees, Agostini, Hailwood, Read won every single 500cc Championship on the 'Fire Engine' MV's against those same British lads on their now ancient thumpers.
They had something everyone liked so they changed it. This happens way too often.
Massimo Tamburini is probably the sole reason why I have the bikes I do. Both my Monster 1100 and my 800 SuperSport are direct lineage from his vision in 1998 when he revamped both the monster and supersport lineup of air-cooled ducatis, along with pushing major changes to the engine's overall design structure.
Ducati is THE Ferrari of motorcycles without question. MV is a boutique brand. They don't have the racing pedigree in the modern age. Had they kept racing and producing next level bikes they would be the Ferrari of bikes. But they are more for show than competitive performance. They are more like a Lamborghini than a Ferrari.
I beg to differ tbh, MV Agusta is more like the Paganis of bikes more than it being a Ferrari
Nice bike. If I won the lottery I would buy 3-different models of this bike.๐ช๐๏ธ
Thanks
Ducati is motorcycle Ferrari, MV is like Polestar/ Koenigsegg hybrid.
Exclusive bikes but always near death and bought up by chinese
Remember bimotor
mv agusta is a putin company
Hmm… a few facts about MV Agusta. It is true that MV Agusta was and remains a Rolls Royce on 2 wheels. The last original model to leave the MV Agusta factory was the Grand Prix 1100 produced in 1980 with a traditional cardan drive on the rear wheel. The head of design at MV Agusta was Arturo Magni.
The reborn MV Agusta with the F4 model in the mid-90s is just Ducati's attempt to strengthen its brand on the MV Agusta model. The F4 is largely the creation of Massimo Tamburini who was the lead designer for all models at Bimota so the F4 is an onomatopoeia of Bimota.
The new MV Agusta doesn't have much in common with the old MV Agusta except it has an inline 4 cylinder and a 4/4 exhaust, everything else is Ducati like the mono arm on the rear wheel.
MV Agusta: Beauty and performance…. And there's the Brutalle which is none of those things
09 Ducati 1198s is as good looking,if not better IMHO. Sounds better too!
Great video Bart !
Quite interesting.
When you spend money like that on a motorcycle, you've got to build a nitrogen-purged glasscase in your living room and keep it there.
There is absolutely no reason to take it out on the street, where some snotty kid on another run-of-the-mill "cheap" bike has you reading his registration plate !
Vehicle for vehicle, a Ferrari.gets far more gawks than a MV would !
And few want an engine that sounds like a Lister concrete mixer.
Trinidad & Tobago.
West Indies.
Does anyone else remember Randy Mamola on the Cagiva 500cc 2-stroke GP race bike? Holy crap could that guy ride to ๐ฉ out of that bike! Donโt count Cagiva out as contender for Ferrari of motorcycles!
So, who would best be analogous to Lambhorgini?
I'd love to see MV back on the MotoGP grid.
MV Agusta was a helicopter manufacturer.
MV Agusta's in the 1970's looked like over engineered Kawasaki's and today they look like under engineered Ducati's.
