Built around MV Agusta's naked motorcycle platform, the 2002 MV Agusta F4 Brutale S features a 749.4 cc (45.7 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 127 HP (92.7 kW) at 12,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 77.5 Nm (57.2 lb-ft) at 10,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 169.5 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (10,500 rpm) and peak power (12,500 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the F4 Brutale S measures 185 kg (408 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.69 HP/kg (1.46 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,414 mm (55.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 250 km/h (155 mph).
