F4 1000 Tamburini review
Take the stunning MV Agusta and make it more. More of everything, this is a gorgeous motorcycle
The MV Agusta F4 1000 is a cracking bike in standard trim, and a match for its Japanese counterparts. Add to the already stunning package the Tamburini’s carbon fibre fairing, Marchesini wheels, GP-spec Nissin brakes and power-enhancing ‘variable inlet tract’ and you’ve got a masterpiece worthy of the man who designed two of the most beautiful bikes ever; this and Ducati’s legendary 916 dynasty.
