Unveiled to the press in September 1997, the MV Agusta F4 was met with critical acclaim, hailed as the triumphant return of Italian technological and aesthetic mastery. It marked the first MV Agusta project under the leadership of the Castiglioni brothers and the Cagiva Research Center. The company began as an aircraft manufacturer, but it was the handover to the next generation—at a time when road networks were growing and the country was rebuilding after the First World War—that set a new course. This shift led to the founding of Meccanica Verghera Agusta S.p.A., dedicated to producing small engines for two-wheeled vehicles. After the Second World War, aviation once again became the company’s main focus. Yet thanks to Count Domenico Agusta’s unwavering passion for motorcycles, that part of the business never faded. On the contrary, it thrived—developing a revolutionary engine lubrication system that allowed MV Agusta to offer an extraordinary 100,000-kilometer warranty, unheard of at the time. The brand would go on to dominate motorcycle racing, claiming an astonishing 37 World Championship titles between 1952 and 1974. Although the company was forced to shut down in 1980, MV Agusta rose from the ashes in the 1990s. Its revival was led by the Castiglioni brothers, deeply connected to both the brand and the region, who had previously brought Ducati back to life. Developed by the racing team’s engineers, the MV Agusta F4 features a 749.4-cc inline four-cylinder, four-stroke engine with double overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder. It produces 126 horsepower at 12,500 rpm, with a torque of 72 Nm of torque at 10,500 rpm, paired with a six-speed transmission. Its design, a blend of sharp lines and smooth curves, along with its four exhausts positioned under the seat, single-sided swingarm, and five-spoke star-pattern wheels, gives the MV Agusta F4 a powerful and resolute appearance. It is undoubtedly this striking presence that has earned it a starring role in numerous films, ridden by Angelina Jolie in Gone in 60 Seconds, Will Smith in I, Robot, Christian Bale in The Dark Knight, and Trinity (played by Carrie-Anne Moss) in The Matrix Reloaded. Manufactured in 1999, the MV Agusta F4 750 S presented here quickly crossed the Channel and was registered in the United Kingdom on 27 April 2000. Acquired by its current owner in 2014 from an enthusiast who had owned it since 2005. It shows fewer than 5,700 kilometers on the odometer and has always been carefully maintained, with only light road use. Particularly attached to it—being the very first piece in his personal collection—the current owner has ensured it was always kept in exceptional condition: stored proudly in a climate-controlled showroom, surrounded by artworks and other mechanical treasures.
