VOL. 54 ISSUE 39 0CTOBER 3, 2017 P57 T hree-time Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton and MV Agusta have once again teamed up to create a special edition MV, this time it's the new F4 LH44. Limited to just 44 examples (Ham- ilton's race number for Mercedes in Formula One), the F4 LH44 is basi- cally an F4 RC, the production version of the bike Leon Camier races in the WorldSBK Championship, but with a bit of sugar and cream on top. The most obvious of which is the candy apple red paint scheme and white frame, loads of carbon fiber, an Alcantara seat, blacked-out engine and a tinted screen. But there is a bit more bite in the bark, with power boosted seven horsepower over the standard F4 RC to 212 horsepower, a new titanium ex- haust with a single muffler like Leon's bike, as well as new Ohlins NIX 30 TiN-coated forks and a Ohlins TTX36 shock on the rear. Want one? Well, it'll cost you around a whopping $58,000, but seeing as there are only 44 of them, they're probably all gone, anyway. But you can at least stare at it for a while.
