"Only 300 examples of the F4-TAMBURINI will be produced worldwide. As with all other special-edition MV Agusta model, the F4-TAMBURINI will only be produced once and will not be repeated.

This limited edition model has sold out and is no longer available.

The heart of the F4 1000 TAMBURINI's performance is the revolutionary TSS system (Torque Shift System) based on the concept of variable intake geometry. This is an absolute first in motorcycling history and is the first time such an innovation has been fitted to a mass-produced motorcycle.

The cockpit of the F4 Tamburini is embellished with special treatment to the upper steering head, where an 18K gold plaque bearing the name of the model and the serial number is positioned.

The F4 Tamburini features the most esoteric equipment that can be offered on a production motorbike. The front end is dominated by Marzocchi forks with titanium nitride treated 50mm fork legs inserted into a billet aluminum base. These carry the new Nissin Racing single block 6-piston calipers. The Marchesini wheels are inspired by the same design as used on Grand Prix machines. They are extremely lightweight and strong, and boast lower gyroscopic inertia that increases ease of handling and potential cornering speed.

"Motorcycles make us dream. They have different colors, they have different sounds. They have shapes that sometimes show what inspired their designers. Sometimes these creations are real works of art that turn the designer into an artist. This is the case with Massimo Tamburini, a design engineer who has revolutionized the concepts of sports motorcycles by raising them to new limits of performance and granting them unparalleled beauty. To pay tribute to this unique individual, I wanted his latest creation to be called after him with a limited production edition with very specific features. This machine has that look that all motorcyclists love along with the mechanical sophistication that they have always dreamed of. It has the heart of a racing bike yet all the glamour of an individual work of art. It has all of our history and passion in its soul." - Claudio Castiglioni." [Via mvagustausa.com]
