Italian Luxury Bikes

The MV Agusta F4CC is a staggering sport bike developed by designer Massimo Tamburini along with Claudio Castiglioni, the director of MV Augusta.

Sleek, aggressive lines, a robust frame and unique details compose the bespoke one-off motorcycle. With every material hand picked and 90% of its components tailor made, the titanium and carbon fiber sport bike boasts a 200hp engine and an invigorating top speed of 195mph. And to match this impressive Massimo Tamburini design, each lucky owner will also receive a Girard-Perregaux Swiss watch along with a limited edition Trussardi leather jacket.

With only 100 models to hit the market, the hand-crafted motorcycle is intended for true sport bike enthusiasts; naturally, though, the richest among them. Dubbed the most expensive in the world, the MV Agusta F4CC will bear a price tag of 100,000 Euros, or approximately $130,000.

he F4CC was conceived by MV Augusta director Claudio Castiglioni himself and bears his initials. "I decided to put my name to this bike as I originally dreamed of it for myself,' he says. And with a kerb weight of 412 lbs., it costs twice as much per pound as a Ferrari.

Honda Superbikes in India shortly

Eying a big potential for luxury bikes in India, where tastes are changing from mass-market machines to high-end bikes, Honda and Bajaj are looking at launching new sportsbikes in the country in the next couple of months.

There had been a sudden surge in the number of International Sportsbikes brands entering the Indian market, over the past two years. Initially the trend was set by Kinetic with the launch of the 250cc, v-twin-powered Hyosung Comet in India back in 2005. Then it was Yamaha, which launched the Yamaha R1 in India and the MT-01 cruiser in 2007. Soon later followed by the Italian motorcycle giant Ducati, who launched an array of superbikes costing up to almost 50 lakhs, and finally Suzuki joined the superbike bandwagon in late-2008, with its Hayabusa superbike and the Intruder cruiser.
