Despite being a high end 1000cc bike the F4 1000 manages to retain some "wiggle room" in its aggressive styling.”

Where form meets function.

From any angle, every line is perfect; every weld immaculate; every fitting impeccable. Yes, the F4s are a lot more expensive than their Japanese competitors but, if you love bikes, they are worth every cent.

The riding position is committed sports riding - and there is no argument about this. However, it is vastly more comfortable than the original F4.

The F4 features upside down Marzocchi forks and Sachs shock out back for amazing handling out on the track.

Somehow, MV has got this exhaust system homologated for road use world wide but how, with a noise like the F4 emits, is beyond me.

The power isn’t aggressive, or difficult to use, but simply sits there like some huge pet tiger, obediently ready to leap into action. Open the throttle gently and the F4 will respond in a most mild mannered fashion.
