Engineered by MV Agusta for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2001 MV Agusta F4 SPR relies on a 749 cc (45.7 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 140 HP (102.2 kW) while maximum torque reaches 79 Nm (58.3 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 186.9 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the F4 SPR measures 188 kg (414 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.74 HP/kg (1.34 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 280 km/h (174 mph).
