MV Agusta F4Z Zagato 2016 — Specifications

From the first F4 750 Oro to the last 800 Brutale, all MV-Agusta motorcycles of the 21st century are recognized for their beauty, sportiness, and mastery of design. Raced-focused machines, demanding, inspiring an inevitable feeling: the desire. For some, that is not enough. They need their own expression of creativity, between art and an overactive expression. This is the case for a Japanese entrepreneur, who requested this very special example: the F4Z.Z? A letter strongly known in the world of car bodybuilders, a symbol of the Zagato house.

The Milanese company therefore realized the wishes and attempted to transpose the lifestyle, spirit, and personality of its client into an MV-Agusta. Thus, the F4 radically changes. The taut, sharp lines, ready to devour speed, have given way to massive curves. A cyclops eye, a suspended windscreen, and a singular saddle further on, the sportbike has radically evolved towards a bio-manga expression in the Italian style. You feel transported to the realms of Starck when he created the Aprilia 6.5. The bodywork is made of carbon and aluminum parts. Although the technical ensemble hidden underneath has not changed, it was necessary to adapt certain parts to this design, such as the fuel tank, intake manifolds, battery, and exhaust systems.

The MV-Agusta F4Z officially presented itself to everyone at the Chantilly Arts & Elegance competition. A place far from the paddocks and the track where an F4 naturally flourishes, expressing its potential for adrenaline and trajectory. But an MV-Agusta remains a particular motorcycle. The F4 1080 CC, Brutale Brand Milano, Wally, Hydrogen (and now Zagato) have long built bridges between the Varese brand and the worldly prestige.
