This is a late production MV Agusta F4 Serie Oro.  It is number 279 of 300 SerieOro examples made in 1999.  Its an extremely rare bike and I regret turning down a brand new Oro in a create for $20 4 years ago.  I was lucky enough to be in Bilbao, Spain for its debut at the Guggenheim Museum.  The entire MV Agusta history of motorcycles were on chronological display leading up to the unveiling of  the Series Oro at the end.  This example has 7,489 miles so its been ridden and enjoyed.  Seller states the services have been completed along with the 7,500 mile service and valve adjustment.   I have seen 2 other examples that have come up for sale in the last 2 years and they were both salvage examples.  I think its going to be difficult to find good examples but they do pop up from time to time.   Bonhams Auction on January 26, 2017 will selling a brand new one with an estimate of $50,000 to $75,000.  It has only delivery miles and has never been started.  Number 293 of 300/ vin ZCGF400AAXV000279.

The Ago is a rare edition only made in 2005. Â Â Only 300 bikes were produced and you dont find them for sale very often anymore. Â Five years ago , you could always find 2-3 for sale at any given time. Â Seems people are holding on to their Agos longer. Â Â These bikes had a red alcantara seat , special wheels , and a number 1 in a yellow oval on the side referencing the racing heritage and the rider Giacomo Agostini. Â Â He was the most victorious motorcycle racer for MV Agusta. Â He won 14 world championships, 10 Tourist Trophies, and over 250 races. Â The special edition was a tribute that was all appearance and cosmetics. Â The Engine was kept identical to the production 1000 CC version.
