Engineered by MV Agusta for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2008 MV Agusta F4 1000 Senna utilizes a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 171.7 HP (125.3 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. With a specific output of 172 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 Senna measures 190 kg (419 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.9 HP/kg (1.11 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,408 mm (55.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 21-liter (5.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 301 km/h (187 mph).
