Positioned in MV Agusta's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2008 MV Agusta F4 1000 R utilizes a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 174 HP (127 kW) at 11,900 rpm while maximum torque reaches 111 Nm (81.9 lb-ft) at 10,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 174.3 HP per liter and a 1,900 rpm working window between peak torque (10,000 rpm) and peak power (11,900 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the F4 1000 R measures 192 kg (423 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.91 HP/kg (1.1 kg per horsepower). The 21-liter (5.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 302 km/h (187 mph).
