MV Agusta introduces the new F4

From a press release issued by MV Agusta...

MV Agusta introduces the new F4, the supersport that has always been judged the most beautiful motorcycle in the world has once again redefined the limits of technology and  motorcycle art.

The F4 is a completely new motorcycle that contains within its DNA the technical and aesthetic characteristics that have continually linked MV Agusta with both performance and design

The new F4 builds upon the history of its predecessor, while at the same time improving upon all of the technological and performance characteristics which make it unique in the supersports category.

The engine, frame and single-sided rear swingarm are completely new. The new 998cc in-line four cylinder engine, with variable length intake tracts, slipper clutch, traction control and over 186 hp at 12.900 rpm, make the F4 the new supersport  reference. But, the revolution does not stop there. The electronic fuel injection system has also been completely revised with a new ECU together with the TC MK II traction control system with 8 levels of control along with the double EFI mapping (sport/rain). The frame has been completely re-dimensioned, the single-sided swingarm is now longer and at the same time lighter while maintaining all of the adjustments of its predecessor. The new layout of the frame has resulted in a motorcycle that is 40mm narrower, the most compact supersport in production. Every detail, even the smallest component, has been redesigned and repositioned on the motorcycle with the objective of reducing the overall dry weight to 192,5 kg.

MV AGUSTA LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE
Completely redesigned down to the last detail, from structure to layout, the new site is dynamic and easy to navigate, full of useful information, pictures and videos on all the new MV Agusta products.

The new platform includes an entirely new e-commerce section where users can purchase a complete collection of MV Agusta apparel as well as a large selection of MV Corse Special Parts for the F4 and Brutale. All orders will be shipped directly.

One of the biggest innovations is the 3D configurator that will be online in December 2009. Static preview images are currently available on the site. The configurator, much like the ones present in the automotive industry, allows the user to specify the desired model, colour and version and view it from 8 different camera angles. The user will be able to select a wealth of accessories ranging from carbon fibre and alloy parts, to seats and performance accessories and view them on the bike in 3 dimensions. Once the desired parts are added to the bike, the user can choose to purchase them directly through our webstore.
