You wouldn’t be alone if you thought the MV Agusta F4 was the world’s most beautiful motorcycle – but styling is subjective. What can’t be argued is speed, and the F4 R 312 was, when released in 2008, the world’s fastest motorcycle. That’s where the “312” in the name comes from – it’s the MV’s top speed in kilometers. In miles, it’s 193.87. Whatever the unit, it’s an impressive number!
The extra grunt needed to set a speed record came from a combination of 30mm titanium intake valves, 48mm throttle bodies, and modified camshafts — all of which added nine horsepower (bringing the total up to 183 hp and 85 lb-ft of torque).
The 312 is complemented by top-notch components such as Brembo monobloc brakes, Marzocchi suspension, and Marchesini forged wheels. MV Agusta sent 150 units to the US per WSBK homologation rules – 50 in each of 3 color options: white with black, black with grey, and Corsa red with silver like the bike being offered here.
Manufactured in February 2007, this example is VIN: ZCGAKFGM38V200514. The seller is the original owner, he purchased it new from Munroe Motors in San Francisco, California in August 2007.
The odometer shows 41,416 miles.
“After owning the bike for nearly 19 years, I am now retired at 67.5 years and find sport motorcycles more difficult to ride. The motorcycle rides fantastically, starting easily and delivering crisp throttle response and smooth, linear power across the entire rev range. Fast and smooth, it has never been raced and has had no accidents. It was last taken for a 60 mile ride to the coast on August 5th, 2026.”
Maintenance:
“Fully maintained & documented with all receipts from new. Maintenance performed from new as specified by the dealer and owners manual, with 86 pages of paper service receipts that have now been scanned to make available electronically.
A complete bottom-end (big end) MV Agusta partially paid rebuild was performed at 20,000 miles, followed by a comprehensive top-end rebuild at 25,000 miles, ensuring outstanding engine strength and longevity.
Full dealer major service costing $3,300 and additional parts was performed by Munroe Motors in June 2026. New plug on coil set was fitted, valve clearances, key systems, fluids, and mechanical components have been thoroughly inspected and refreshed.”

Cosmetic Blemishes: please see the album in the “Photos” tab for all known cosmetic blemishes. Here is a selection:
“The bike fell in the garden during a Christmas Day wash some years ago resulting in the side fairings being rebuilt and repainted. There is a 1/2″ long sealed vertical thin crack in nose fairing at screen join, minor wear on under fairing by side stand. Minor blemishes on mirrors, wear on seat tank protector. Overall, the motorcycle looks cosmetically very good for its age and mileage, showcasing clean bodywork and beautiful paint that honors Tamburini’s iconic silhouette.”
