This year seems like major overhaul in liter class segment across various companies, Just take example of beautiful R1 from Yamaha or brutal track weapon S1000 RR from BMW.
Just in case if you don't know , last month MV Agusta dropped their all new F4 RC liter class platform , MV Agusta's specification sheet suggests F4 RC produces insane 212 hp with race exhaust system, or 202.5 hp in street legal format , peak torque of 84.8 lbs remains same in both variants.
Wrapped in carbon fiber fairings,titanium con bolts and race exhaust system, Lithium_ion battery, forged aluminum wheels and magnesium casings, the MV Agusta F4 RC is whole 16.5 kg lighter than RR model, with a 193 kg dry weight.
Bike comes with updated MVICS 2.0 electronic system which includes traction control,ABS, rear-wheel lift control, and quick-shifter.
MV Agusta F4 RR and RC both are work of art but MV's are always criticized in past for their snatchy throttle response and flat spots in their rev band so it's interesting to see if MV Agusta have resolve their throttle management issues with newer electronic package because MV's inline fours are some of strongest liter class motors available right now.
The newer BMW S1000RR producing some healthy 199hp, while Aprilia RSV 4RR makes 201hp, Ducati's twin cyclinder 1299 Panigale S produces 205 hp, which puts MV Agusta F4 RC as new horsepower champ in it's category.
But as always it's not only power which make's great superbike but blend of various parameters such as handling, fueling, braking and electronics package and as mentioned previously, in past MV's are badly beaten by other bikes due to their weird throttle modulation.
