In the recent Batman trilogy with Christian Bale, my favorite movie was the second – The Dark Knight. MV Agusta had a promotional deal that included some screen time for their F4 superbike in that movie, and for some reason Hershey’s Chocolate ran a promotion with a special grand prize: a Dark Knight-themed F4 valued at $35,000.
Here’s the clip of the F4 in the actual movie:
Hershey announced the prize in a press release, and it seems the winner was someone that did not ride motorcycles. He/she went on to a bunch of forums and put it up for sale, but it doesn’t seem like the seller had much luck. Fast forward 8 years and 619 miles, and the bike has made its way to Newport Italian. This is a weird sale – it’s a rare bike but the paint job eliminates pretty much every potential buyer. It’d be one thing if this bike was actually used in the movie or had more of a story than a paint job applied by a chocolate company, but I don’t see this MV selling any time soon at the current asking price.
Find this one-off F4 for sale in Costa Mesa, California for $33,999 here on Craigslist.
