Serie Oro: The Prototype

At the 1997 EICMA show. Cagiva?ˆ™s racing division stunned the world with a prototype motorcycle that would essentially cement the rebirth of one of Italy?ˆ™s most storied racing brands. The motorcycle was the MV Agusta F4 750 Serie Oro. Just 300 models were built in 1998. Developed in conjunction with Ferrari. the bike was an engineering masterpiece. Its bodywork. fuel cell. airbox. and all its trim pieces were made of carbon fiber. Lightweight magnesium was used for the wheels. frame plates and even the patented swingarm. which allowed the drive chain to run through the unit rather than around. Of the 300 Serie Oros built in 1999. just 60 would be designated for the US at a price of $39. 95.  

The 748-cc inline four used ?ˆ?over square?ˆ? bore and stroke proportions. allowing it to rev to an astronomical 13. 00 rpm ?ˆ” a speed that only 600s could typically reach without scattering their internals ?ˆ” while making 126 horsepower on the way. Ferrari engineers were brought in during early phases and had a heavy influence on the initial designs. One such example is the sixteen radial-array valves; from the center of the combustion chamber. the valves angle outward. allowing conformity with the hemispherical shapes of the cylinder head and piston. resulting in increased airflow. MV Agusta is still the only motorcycle manufacturer to use this technology. The lucky few who could get their hands on one were rewarded with one of the most spine-tingling intake howls in the motoring world.  

Then there?ˆ™s the exhaust system. Over the past decade. no other exhaust system has been copied more often than the F4?ˆ™s quad-tipped. pipe organ underseat mufflers. After dismantling the exhaust system from MV Agusta's then-CEO Claudio Castiglioni?ˆ™s personal Ferrari F40. designer Massimo Tamburini designed the unique 4-into-2-into-1-into-2-into-4 set-up. The exhaust system was more than just pretty; it gave the F4 a raspy wail typically reserved for four-wheeled Italians. The gearbox on the F4 was a cassette-type. like on an F1 car. The entire transmission was a single unit that could be swapped out for a separate unit with different gear ratios by simply removing an inspection panel and pulling out the whole assembly. The front brakes had huge six-piston calipers and it was the first production motorcycle fitted with a radial master cylinder as standard equipment.

The chrome-moly trellis frame was TiG-welded by hand and had concentric steering head races that allowed for steering angle adjustments in just minutes. The rear suspension used an unequal length linkage that enabled ride height adjustments independent of the rear shock settings. The handling has long been the F4's forte and continues to be the centerpoint today. The steering possesses the elusive perfect compromise between quick turn-in and excellent front-end feedback. a result of what many would describe as the ideal setup: 24. 5 degrees of rake and 104 mm of trail on a 1398-mm wheelbase.
