At the turn of the millennium, the MV Agusta brand was revived with the release of a new flagship, the 750cc F4. Penned by the great Massimo Tamburini, the F4 boasted a ground-breaking design that redefined the modern superbike. In the years that followed, the F4 underwent a series of revisions and model updates, though the bike’s incredible aesthetics went largely unchanged.
Underneath the proverbial hood, however, progress was constant. What started out as a three-quarter-liter engine was replaced with an increasingly potent liquid-cooled, 998cc, four-stroke, 16-valve, DOHC radial valve, four-cylinder mill, and in August of 2006, an F4 1000 R achieved the title of world’s fastest 1,000cc production motorcycle when it clocked a speed of 185.882 mph on the dried bed of the Bonneville Salt Flats.
Successor to the F4 1000 S, the 1000 R not only featured a 174hp motor, but also utilized a reworked chrome-molybdenum steel tube chassis and top-of-the-line running gear including 50mm upside-down carbon-nitride coated Marzocchi forks, Sachs mono-shock, and radial-mount monoblocs and forged aluminum rims from Brembo.

Manufactured in March 2006 this example is VIN: ZCGAKFGM57V100414.
The odometer shows 1,711 miles.
