At the heart of the 2004 MV Agusta F4 1000 Tamburini sport motorcycle, MV Agusta utilizes a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 173 HP (126.3 kW) at 11,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 113 Nm (83.3 lb-ft) at 9,200 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 173.3 HP per liter and a 2,550 rpm working window between peak torque (9,200 rpm) and peak power (11,750 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the F4 1000 Tamburini measures 198 kg (437 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.87 HP/kg (1.14 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with 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.
