Anyone familiar with the MV Agusta F4s ? : Yamaha R6 : R6 Forum

Was stumbling around on some foreign bike sites out there, and came across a site dedicated to the F4s and in particular, a model designated the SENNA... Seems like quite a rocket....

Not too sure on the specs, but from what I gather, its an I-4 , 750 cc, putting out roughly 140 hp... 188kg, (414lbs) 310 mm front brakes, 174 mph (280 kph) top end... Revs quite high... sounds pretty sharp.... nice cluster panel....

No idea on handling characteristics... Seems like one of the few italian/exotic bikes that is non V-twin, performs quite well, and is in the shadows when compared to Ducati or Aprillia.....

The site had quite a few onboard laps of some UK track going all out. I am new to forums/etiquette; I doubt linking to them will be regarded too highly..

Anyone have any feedback from others regarding these beasts?

I know MV Agusta makes gorgeous standards. This crotch rocket looks sweet. But every bike they make is expensive as hell. You could probably get 2 and a half r6's for the price of 1 MV Agusta.

But if you really like this bike, I think it's the same bike as the one in the movie, "I, ROBOT." At least it looks like it from the short video clips from the movie. Hot bike, man...

Thats a really hot bike. Someday when people are giving me much more money Ill be able to afford a bike like that.

Yeah, the bike is the MV Agusta in the movie, I ROBOT.

Yeah, It's definately outta my league in terms of price and even availability... those SPR models are only 300 a year roughly... I read some really decent reviews on it... and although some of the technology is a bit dated (this bike was planned from the mid-90s) , there are still some pretty sweet things about it..... I am loving that single-sided swingarm... the 4- into 1, into 2, into 4 exhaust must make it sound so much different than any 4 cylinders we're used to over here..
