£7,500 - £8,500
2000 MV Agusta F4, 749cc. Registration number GHL 584. Frame number ZCGF400AAYV001027. Engine number F4 AX00702.
It was first introduced as a 750 in 1999 after being designed by the legendary Massimo Tamburini (who famously also designed the Ducati 916) when the historic brand was revived by ex-Ducati owner Claudio Castiglioni.
Although winning plaudits for its gorgeous styling, exquisite specification and thrilling, howling performance, it was also heavy, slightly down on power, cramped and unrefined and expensive compared to the best from Japan and elsewhere.
It was enlarged into a 1000cc machine in 2004 which improved things but, although still alluringly tempting, it was never a mass market success, although a series of even more exotic limited editions maintained its poster bike appeal.
GHL was originally registered W58 LFW to Donald Carcas of Dewsbury before David Holmes of Scunthorpe bought it in 2003, our vendor, the third owner, bought it in 2004 and changed the registration to its current one.
The MOT history, on file, goes back to 2003 when Holmes bought it with an HPI check. The last MOT in 2018 was at 14,186 miles and the odometer currently shows . The machine has had a Casoli Moto ECU remap and exhaust modifications.
Sold with the V5C, MOT history, two keys, Datatool alarm, original MV paddock stand and dust cover, this F4 presents very well and should pass an MOT with no issues.
