Italian superbikes have long been coveted by the wealthiest of motorbike collectors, and those who don't quite fancy the rugged aesthetics of grunt-focused American motorbikes. One such individual managed to commission the world-famous Italian design practice Zagato to go about crafting together a one-of-a-kind version of the MV Agusta F4.

This [bespoke version](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fuoriserie-by-hiroshi-fujiwara) of the famous Italian superbike features bodywork that combines the best features of [carbon fiber and aluminum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/picasso-omt-450c). Even the bike's wheels weren't left untouched, with Zagato making use of forged aluminum wheels rather than the stock options. The bike retains its original four-cylinder engine, which is capable of pumping out 195 horsepower.

What's great about this unique Italian superbike is the fact that it retains its powerful engine but features a wonderfully ingenious design, something that may increasingly be the case with [high-end motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manx-and-manx-r) purchased by luxury buyers.
