Claudio's new toy

MV Agusta has unveiled the machine we previewed some weeks ago – the ultra-exclusive F4 Special CC, priced at a head-spinning 100,000 Euros ($167,000) – at this week's EICMA Milan Show.
Named after the company's CEO, Claudio Castiglioni, only 100 of the machines will be made.

The package for the 315km/h speed-limited bike includes accessories such as a Trussardi leather jacket and a Girard Perregaux watch made exclusively for the owners.

A considerable amount of engine work has been done to the machine, which claims 200 horses from its 1100 engine.

Local Importer the Paul Feeney Group is unsure how many will make it to Australia, although it's understood at least four bikes are so far pre-ordered.
