2009 MV Agusta F4 RR 312 1078 (F4 1078RR)

ART AND POWER IN 190 HP

With the ambition of one accustomed to winning and the self-confidence of a company with all the know-how in the world, MV Agusta has “crossed” their two latest creations, the F4 CC and the F4 R 312. They have made the ultimate cocktail of power and controlled aggression to once more unleash the beast also known as “the most beautiful motorcycle in the world”.

They have added another “R” to the F4 and the superb R 312 that, flat out in sixth, has reached 312 kph (193.88 mph). The F4 R 312 performance can only to be eclipsed by the RR. There is only one objective for 2009 – improvement. An objective like this is by now customary for a company that already has 75 championship titles behind it (37 constructors and 38 riders) and success embedded in its soul past and present. This year’s challenge is that of putting a machine on the road that goes faster than a 747 at lift-off.

Like other challenges in the past of beating whatever the opposition has had to offer, this new challenge has again called for courage, desire, passion, sacrifice, and investment from the “Team MV”. The goal was simple – to create the best sports bike in the world and any lesser result would have been unthinkable. The 1078 cubic capacity of the exclusive and much appreciated F4 CC has been repeated in the new F4 RR 312. The extra capacity has given both more torque and a silkier touch to the sheer power of the high revving engine. This is due to a series of refinements to the engine in those areas where such a thing was possible and the aim was simply to go beyond the limits imposed by a “standard” engine.

The RR 312 is not a machine to be bothered with limits or weak points and for this reason, only the best components that money could buy have been used.

The bike features the already well-known and developed frame that offers the same, much appreciated handling characteristics, solidity, and feel that are the trademark of the F4. Every single component of the machine has been analyzed and refined (where possible) to deal with the new power output that has now risen to 190 HP. It is in fact the new engine size that will bar it from racing in the current Superbike class. F4 R 312s will now leave MV dealerships for competition use only while the new RR will give true MV road-going enthusiasts the chance to put the latest machine through its not inconsiderable paces; open the throttle wide, lean hard into bends and see what she’ll do. We are convinced that every bike enthusiast, at least once in his life, wants to do exactly that.
