CASTIGLIONI - Written All Over It

Say Hello to the 200 BHP, limited edition Italian missile that will require a mortgage to aquire.
What bike would MV Augusta boss Claudio Castiglioni build for himself? Interesting quiestion, eh? Well, here's the answer - the MV Augusta F4CC. And he hasn't made just one, he's commisioned a run of 100. Each one will be hand-assembled to his exact specification using the finest materials known to humanity. It's yours, Signor, for a modest 100.000 euros. Just in case there's any doubt about authenticity, you'll get a boxed certificate of origin and a platinum top-yoke cover bearing the model number(from 1 to 100). It uses an F4 motor, bored out to 1,078cc,with countless trick internals and a titanium exhaust system - culminating in 200 BHP. Unlike many 'special edition' bikes, this one is definitely not just a standard bike with some nice bolt-ons. Ninety per cent of the components are tailor-made for this bike, and the black paint was designed to evoke a 'beautiful woman in a little black number'.Grrrr...
