Custom built 2002 MV Agusta F4 EVO2. This is not a Salvage. I did this as a tribute to Mike Hailwood.

I purchased the bike last year, as the owner had hit something and put a kink in the frame. I decided not too have the frame repaired, and that I would have MV Agusta in Italy build a new replacement frame with the same VIN numbers, well 6 months and $3500.00 later I got it, but during that waiting time I decided to go all out and build this as a tribute to one of the greatest road racers of all time and who did so much for MV in the 60`s. Evidently the Italian factory has forgotten about the British riders that made them famous.

Here is a list of parts used in the build. DID race chain (Gold) 520 ERV3 X-ring. BrakeTech Axis full float rotors front and rear. Ferodo SinterGrip pads. FBF MV wheel balancer adapter. FBF handle bar end caps. FBF Pro grips.
