“The evolution of racing bikes is the result of many small steps. The underlying concept is never abandoned, rejected or turned upside down. It is only meticulous little changes that finally lead to perfection.” MV Agusta, Varese, March 2007. The new F4 R312 from MV Agusta is the result of developments on the track; 'three hundred and twelve' is the top speed in kmh (194 mph). With the F4 1000 R MV Agusta was the protagonist last season in the FIM Superstock 1000 Cup production series. Unlike others, it is style that adds to the MV machines lined up on the starting grid. However it is not just its streamlined elegant looks or prestigious name, this time it is also a record holder - 312 km/h (194mph) is the fastest recorded top speed for a production motorcycle.
