Here it is the developpement bike that will allow to MV to come again in WSBK for season 2006.

First they have to sell over 150 F4 1000 Mamba, the model that will allow MV to enter in world superbike.

MV choose the Mamba because the frame tube are thiner of 0.5mm raising the weight down.

This engine is pumping out 203 hp but development is only on the begining. The bike has been tested by Pierfrancesco Chili on the Mugello RT last oktober and feel very confident about the potential of the bike.

Thanks Crimson,

I have been drooling and dreaming over this bike for a while, trying to convince my missus that I the Benelli and the MVA would go well together in our garage

The front forks look like a modified job which is different to that of the Mamba and the the Stock F4 S. Plus I notice that they have gone with Brembo over the standard Nissin on the Mamba.

Those Arrow pipes look the goods..imagine the stock MVA pipes, these must HOWL.

Lovely pics and scoop.

Hello Tax,

This isn't any new tuning bike but THE factory bike. This MV 1000 suits for WSBK reglementation and built to be competitive to enter this category.

Thats why it is so special. If I spoked about the Mamba that was to say this bike as been chose for homologation purpose(manufacturers producing less than 50'000 bike/year has to produce at least 150 bikes of the model for homologation), that doesn't means they want to put the Mamba as it is on the track. To meet WSBK regulation they only have to keep the same frame, crankcase, head, throttle bodies.

And here is the result. I also own a Race F4 that's on the way to be finished and that looks more as the stock bike. I will post somme pics very soon.
