MV AGUSTA F4 1000 Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & Photos

For the model year 2010, MV Agusta prepared a new version of the supersport bike F4 1000 R. The bike received several technical tweaks which allow the 998cc engine to put out an impressive 186 hp at 12900 rpm. The 2010 model year F4 1000 R boasts revised bike geometry that complemented with a lighter frame, offers improved handling and acceleration. The 2010 model is also some 22 lbs. lighter than the previous model.

The 2007 MY MV Augusta F4 1000 R sports a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 998cc, transverse four-cylinder engine paired to a six-speed manual transmission, and can produce 174 horsepower and 111 Nm of torque, which make it the most powerful production motorcycle from the House of Schiranna up to date. It is basically a more performance-oriented version of the F4 1000 S, but a less high-tech version of the exclusive F4 Senna.

Features that set it apart are the Brembo braking system with 320 mm front disc brakes and radial caliper struts, the Marzocchi upside down fork with the RAC technology, the Y-spoked, forged aluminium Brembo wheels, the rear mudguard and the revides Magneti Marelli injection system, which seriously shorten lap times when on the track, and overall maneuverability if one is on the road.

In the tech/engine department, it sports a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 998cc, transverse four cylinder engine and cand produce 174 horsepower and 111 Nm of torque, and with this engine it has achieved the impressive speed of 187.726 MPH (302.116 KPH).

The MV Agusta F4 AGO is a limited edition sport bike to commemorate the famous Italian rider, Giacomo Agostini. The bike's sole purpose is to superbly balance new supersport technology with the traditional look of the bikes raced by Agostini.

MV Agusta F4 CORSE is another limited edition sports bike from the Italian manufacturer. Again in a worldwide series that counts 300 units, this special edition bike features plastic fairing hand-painted colours Race red, Silver and White, Race red and White “leather” rider seat, Race red “leather” back pad, Silver plaque with the number of the bike and nationality, “limited edition” certificate, MV Agusta alarm with specific wiring.

The MV Agusta F4 Mamba is a limited edition sport bike which will be made in just 300 units. The bike's furious acceleration was compared to the fast attack of the African venomous snake nicknamed the Black Mamba. Each model in the series comes with a black snake painted on the fuel tank. The whole bike was a blaze of carbon fiber, a material that could be found in the bodywork, in the airbox, in the fuel manifold and in a bag of other secondary components (some of which are offered as optional extras by the wealthy customers). On the front mudguard, also in fiber, the Mamba logo stood out: a black snake with its jaws wide open, ready to grab the prey.

The 166 HP of the 998 cc four-cylinder engine allowed the F4 Mamba to exceed 300 km/h, a speed that made it one of the bikes on the market with the highest top speed. In particular, the MV Agusta test driver Fabrizio Latini managed to push it up to the Ring of Nardò up to 301 km h.
