Racing against the clock. Your time. Striving, with each lap, for an improved line. Going complete to shave off a number of thousandths a lot of. It matters very little whether or not you are a champion, or are, or if you ever are going to be. What counts on the track is heart: the thumping pulse that measures the intensity of the texture for the bike. epinephrine on each straight, in each corner, feeding the elation that powers the fervour. Pure passion for a singular, legendary bike: the MV Agusta F4 RC.
All this, and far a lot of, swathed within the sexy, efficient carbon fibre fairing of the foremost powerful, quickest and hardest-hitting F4 ever engineered. engineered to race. To weave around Superbike racetracks. And ignite the dreams of even the foremost exacting enthusiasts.
RC, Reparto Corse: each detail, even wherever of no apparent significance, has been planned, designed and engineered with the only real purpose of providing most race aggressiveness. And, therefore, most road riding pleasure.
