Built around MV Agusta's sport motorcycle platform, the 2008 MV Agusta F4 Mamba relies on a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 163.6 HP (119.4 kW) at 11,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 109 Nm (80.4 lb-ft) at 10,200 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 163.9 HP per liter and a 1,550 rpm working window between peak torque (10,200 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 Mamba measures 191.9 kg (423 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.85 HP/kg (1.17 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,407 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.
