Built around MV Agusta's sport motorcycle platform, the 2001 MV Agusta F4 S 1+1 features a 749 cc (45.7 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 126 HP (92 kW) at 12,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 74 Nm (54.6 lb-ft) at 11,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 168.2 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (11,000 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 S 1+1 measures 192 kg (423 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.66 HP/kg (1.52 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,398 mm (55 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 272 km/h (169 mph).
