The stolen bike London Metropolitan Police

Police appeal after rare motorbike worth £45,000 stolen from car park

The bike had only travelled 200 miles in 14 years. Understandable, police have said that the owner is devastated.

POLICE IN LONDON are searching for culprits after a rare motorbike worth  more than £45,000 (€54,000) was stolen from a car park.

The bike, a red MV Agusta 750 F4 Oro, is one of only 300 that were ever made by the manufacturers in Italy.

Despite being 14 years old, the bike had only travelled 200 miles and had been kept carefully by its owner: police said that the bike even had a plaque fixed to it with the owner’s name.

“The owner treasured this bike and is devastated by its loss,” said Detective Constable Eve Mole of Kensington and Chelsea police.

Three men were seen around the bike around the time that it was stolen from a car park on World’s End Estate in west London on Monday evening at around 6pm and the London Metropolitan Police have appealed for information about the men.

The motorbike was designed by famous designer Massimo Tamburini, who has been described as the ‘Michaelangelo of motorbike design’.
