That makes it the most powerful superbike in the world, eclipsing rivals such as the 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS) Ducati 1198 SP, 177 bhp (132 kW / 180 PS) Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC and the 190 bhp (142 kW / 193 PS) BMW S 1000 RR.
The F4 RR’s new motor revs up to 13,700 rpm, thanks to an increase in piston diameter from 76 mm to 79 mm and a decrease in stroke from 55 mm to 50.9 mm. The completely redesigned cylinder head features larger diameter intake and exhaust valves, and they're made of titanium - the first time that material has been used for a series production MV Agusta. Completing the package is a bespoke 4-2-1-4 exhaust and a tweaked engine management system.
UK pricing for the 2012 MV Agusta F4 RR has been set at £17,999 on the road. Sales are due to commence in June, with a choice of pastel red / white or matt pearl white colour schemes.
The new arrival joins the existing £14,499 F4 1000, which remains in the range.
