MV Agusta Planning 600cc Supersport Model
MV Agusta planning 600cc Supersport model alongside F4 1000 Superbike, also Brutale-style Naked version both designed by Massimo Tamburini.

Should the acquisition of Husqvarna by another party take place, this would enable MV Agusta to concentrate completely on future expansion of its product range. Massimo Tamburini is confirmed to be working on the design of a 600cc four-cylinder Supersport version of the F4, which while it retains a recognizable family look is not a downsized clone of the bigger bike, as with the Ducati 749/999. According to factory insiders, it was considered important that the smaller-capacity and therefore less expensive MV should be distinguishable in appearance from the more prestigious 1000cc models – though it’s certain to be another highly distinctive design by the so-called ‘motorcycling Michelangelo’. A Naked version, similar to the F4 Brutale but wearing a different name, is also planned – but the fully-faired Supersport version will appear first, and is scheduled to make its debut at the 2009 EICMA Show in Milan.

This is really interesting because I was just thinking yesterday that a new model must be due by now. It might also be a bit controversial because those of us who are lucky enough to already own an MV probably still like the ‘exclusivity’ of the marque’s only two models - the F4 and Brutale? Maybe a move into the 600 class will be the real makings of the company, financially. However, I’d worry that people still only consider buying a Honda/Suzuki/Yamaha based on the opinions of the magazines they read... I say this because everyone who has ever seen my F4 has asked me if it’s actually any good (and I get the feeling they think I’m talking C**P when I say that it is). ***I was day-dreaming more along the lines of a MotoGP inspired 800cc V4 or V5 - maybe with options to purchase a screamer or a big-bang model*** I have NO IDEA how much something like that would cost to develop though!!!! Anyway, it sounds like they have thought things through and I hope the new 600 does really well!!!

We've talked about the possibility of MV entering the 600cc class quite a few times on mvagusta.net. I personally will be waiting with baited breath to see how this develops

This will be a tough class to comptete it, but this would be a great move if MV Agusta's aim is to sell more bikes in Europe, where smaller displacement bikes get more respect. I like whippersnappers. I love 600s, 400s, two-strokes. So even as an American I would be curious to see what MV comes out with. Coolness!

As long as Mr. Tamburini is designing it, I will have no complaints about the bike.
