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. CN
