MV Agusta presents at the 2011 EICMA the eagerly awaited F4 R and F4 RR. Both models are powered by the engine known as ‘Corsa Corta’, an in-line 4-cylinder unit which has been clompletely re-designed for this project. The new F4 redlines at 13,700 rpm, with a decreased piston linear velocity (from 24,9 m/s to 23 m/s) which makes it more reliable. The F4 R comes with 195.2 hp wheras the even more extreme RR will count on no less than 201, at 13000 rpm.

Cylinder heads use new ducts and bigger valves which - for the first time ever on a production bike - are made of titanium: this made it possible to lose weight even though the valves have larger diameters (going from 28,6 to 31,8 mm for the inlet and from 24,6 to 26 mm for the outlet). The new exhaust system maintains the 4-2-1-4 scheme, but with bigger diameters too. 49mm throttle body, slipper clutch and two new mappings that can be selected through a command on the handlebar complete F4’s engine modifications.

The Brembo radial monobloc braking system mounted on the front is the symply the best one available on the market, coupled to a master cylinder with integrated reservoir specifically made for MV. The 320 mm diameter floating double front discs use an ultra light flange which are 5 mm thick to reduce inertia forces and non suspended masses. The rear brake system is made exclusively for MV with a stainless steel 220 mm diameter disc and 4 piston calliper.

MV Agusta certainly likes to pay their tribute to aeronautics, because after celebrating last year,the 50th anniversary of Italy’s Air Force aerobatic team, the Frecce Tricolori with a special F4 livery, this year they’ve dedicated a limited version of their F4 RR to the French Jet Fighter School who celebrates their 50th anniversary.

No details have been released whether this special edition will be for France only, but just looking at this F4 RR in this colour scheme of the French Alfa jet makes you want to hum La Marseillaise.

While we expecting to see MV Agusta’s F4 RR revealed at the EICMA show this November after their teaser video, the iconic Italian marque has decided to release the first official pics and give us all the lowdown with full details and official specs right now, on their “new 1000cc short-stroke engine” and the “most advanced and powerful superbike in the world.”

Do we have to mention again that we would really like to see this ‘motorcyle art’ competing on race tracks internationally?

This is the first official teaser video of the 2012 F4 RR Corsacorta from MV Agusta.

Expected to debut at this year’s EICMA show, this gorgeous superbike according to the Italian manufacturer is ready to pour out 201 hp at a twist of the wrist, and that will certainly put rivals Ducati and Aprilia into a tailspin, but fortunately for them and unfortunately for us who would also like to see them back in racing, the Castiglioni’s do not seem to have any intention in investing money in competing, whether be it World Superbikes or MotoGP.
