MV Agusta F4 312 R
The level of equipment is perfectly balanced and, like the F4 series, provides exactly what is needed for a machine like the R 312 designed for track use. For this reason, equipment fitted to the 2008 F4 1000 R has been replicated on the R 312 with only slight, but essential changes, being introduced.
The main features of the new sports bike are as follows:
_ Brembo Monoblock P4/34 radial brake calipers.
_ Aluminium 320 mm Brembo discs with aluminium flanges
_ Marzocchi USD 50 mm R.A.C. (Road Advanced Component) forks
_ Adjustable monoshock with high and low speed compression settings
_ Brembo forged aluminium wheels with Y spokes
_ New integrated Magneti Marelli 5SM ignition-injection system
_ EBS (Engine Brake System)
_ Titanium intake valves
_ Euro 3 engine
_ 183 CV at 12,400 rpm.
New items of equipment on the F4 R 312 relate to heat transferbecause the 4- cylinder engine has now reached a level of technical sophistication that it is difficult to improve it any further. Goldfinger's motorcycle? What do you do when you want to make a great model more expensive? Cover it in gold, of course! The unique project of covering an MV Agusta F4 RR 312 in 5 square metres of gold leaf was developed in collaboration with Aurum, a Venetian company that is a leader in precious metal processing. The presentation of the Golden Agusta took place at the 'International Luxury Fairs', a European event that showcases Italian craftsmanship. Each sheet of 80x80 24ct gold leaf was applied in such a way as to create a flake effect, a demanding process that requires skilled artisans.
The 'bling' treatment allegedly triples the $34,500 standard price for an F4 312 RR to around $90,000. And yes, it WAS for sale!
