2009 MV AGUSTA F4 312RR 1078,37 MILES FROM NEW

This 2009 MV AGUSTA F4 312RR 1078 was the most advanced MV to come out of the factory up to that point. It has since held on to the title of one of the fastest and best handling motorcycles in the world.

The condition of this machine is virtually brand new. There isn't much more youcan say besides this bike is in showroom condition. Everything on it is basically as it was when it left the dealer in 2009. Please note this bike comes inwitha clear title. It has been in 2 private collections since new, s started on a regular basis, nd ridden very short distances occasionally.

Please don't ask if there are any scratches on the bike. Therearen't! If you see something that looks like a scratch, t's the light reflecting off the fairings. The bike was purchased new and obviously ridden very sparingly since acquisition. All of the major engine, ransmission, nd braking components have been recently checked for safety, nd anything needing attention was serviced. NOTHING needs to bedone to the bike to ride it!

The tires on the front and rear are new. They are the original tires delivered with the bike.

The paint is on the gas tank and fairings is original and again, n flawless condition, ith no chips or scratches or scuffs evident anywhere on themachine.

The battery was just replaced, nd everything on the bike is working as it should. The brakes were also checked to make sure they functioned perfectly as well.

I also have the ORIGINAL AND CORRECT rear stand forthebike as well as the original owner's manual and spare parts catalog.

Again, here is absolutely NOTHING that needs to be done to this machine to ride it occasionally and enjoy it as a showpiece.

I am always looking for new machines to add to my collection and love talking shop about bikes. Please contact me if you are looking for something or have something interesting available.

...From Motorcycle News, arch 2, 009...

This is the ultimate evolution of MV Agusta’s famous F4 model, hich has been with us in one form or another since 1999. The in-line-four-cylinder MV Agusta 1078cc F4 1078 RR 312 replaces last year’s 998cc F4 R 312. The ‘312’ bit of the name refers to the top speed achieved by the bike on MV’s test track: 312km/h (193mph).

The beautiful RR 312 comes with a fearsome reputation for hyper acceleration, hich only relents when it hits the rev-limiter in top gear. Thanks to its killer engine the MV Agustais blisteringly fast wherever you ride it; it’s as happy to demolish track tarmac as it is Autobahn concrete, ut its age is starting to show now and is relatively clumsy and heavy to muscle around compared to more modern stuff like a Blade. But thanks to a new slipper clutch, rembo Mononbloc brakes and top-level Marzocchi suspension it’s still able to hold its own. Stick this engine in any modern day chassis and it would be phenomenal…

Ride Quality & Brakes…

If you’re jumping on to the MV Agustafrom a Japanese sportsbike you’ll get a shock to the system. The F4 is cramped, all and has super stiff suspension, o it takes some getting used to, ompared to a soft, lush Japanese bike. As the miles or laps pass by, t’s something you get used to and at flat out speeds the extreme riding position does make sense. Ride at normal speeds, r any distance, nd the MV will punish your body, specially wrists and knees, f you’re tall. On a smooth surface the MV flies, ut on the bumps it struggles slightly. It’s not necessarily down to hard suspension, hich can be adjusted to suit conditions, t’s more like the chassis is super-stiff and unforgiving until you push hard. The F4’s forte is high speed three-figure speed sweepers, ather than tight twisty B-roads.

Engine…

Enlarged for 2008, he MV Agusta’s 1078cc radial valve four-cylinder engine is a rabid powerhouse of a thing. Its basic architecture was designed by Ferrari back in the late 90s (hence the ‘F’ in F4) when it started life as a 750. Now it comes with monstrous power and torque splilling from every bit of the rev range.

The motor has a very hard edge and transmits lots of its vibes to the rider. The throttle response at low rpm is very snatchy, hich makes tackling slow corners and town riding tricky. Although the new slipper clutch makes entering corners much smoother, his still is no super-smooth Honda FireBlade. But it has a howling engine note to die for and 190 thoroughbred horses to play with, f you’re brave enough.

2009 MV Agusta F4 RR 312 1078

(F4 1078RR)

ART AND POWER IN 190 HP…

With the ambition of one accustomed to winning and the self-confidence of a company with all the know-how in the world, V Agusta has “crossed” their two latest creations, he F4 CC and the F4 R 312. They have made the ultimate cocktail of power and controlled aggression to once more unleash the beast also known as “the most beautiful motorcycle in the world”.

They have added another “R” to the F4 and the superb R 312 that, lat out in sixth, as reached 312 kph (193.88 mph). The F4 R 312 performance can only to be eclipsed by the RR. There is only one objective for 2009 - improvement. An objective like this is by now customary for a company that already has 75 championship titles behind it (37 constructors and 38 riders) and success embedded in its soul past and present. This year’s challenge is that of putting a machine on the road that goes faster than a 747 at lift-off.

Like other challenges in the past of beating whatever the opposition has had to offer, his new challenge has again called for courage, esire, assion, acrifice, nd investment from the “Team MV”. The goal was simple – to create the best sports bike in the world and any lesser result would have been unthinkable.

The 1078 cubic capacity of the exclusive and much appreciated F4 CC has been repeated in the new F4 RR 312. The extra capacity has given both more torque and a silkier touch to the sheer power of the high revving engine. This is due to a series of refinements to the engine in those areas where such a thing was possible and the aim was simply to go beyond the limits imposed by a “standard” engine.

The RR 312 is not a machine to be bothered with limits or weak points and for this reason, nly the best components that money could buy have been used.

The bike features the already well-known and developed frame that offers the same, uch appreciated handling characteristics, olidity, nd feel that are the trademark of the F4.

Every single component of the machine has been analyzed and refined (where possible) to deal with the new power output that has now risen to 190 HP. It is in fact the new engine size that will bar it from racing in the current Superbike class. F4 R 312s will now leave MV dealerships for competition use only while the new RR will give true MV road-going enthusiasts the chance to put the latest machine through its not inconsiderable paces; open the throttle wide, ean hard into bends and see what she’ll do. We are convinced that every bike enthusiast, t least once in his life, ants to do exactly that.

The F4 1000 will still be available for the race track and will have all the same mechanical updates as made to the larger engine (slipper clutch, ew gear ratios) as well as all the modifications made to handling components (brakes, ew suspension) and will be homologated for both FIM STK and SBK.

DESIGN – ITALIAN PRIDE…

Design limitations for any product, nd therefore any motorcycle, re dictated by varying parameters that include manufacturing processes and cost. MV can overcome such limitations. Its main aim has always been to create beauty and perfection. Beauty must never be forsaken in pursuit of something else. According to MV’s way of thinking, his is the keystone around which a motorbike is built. Apart perhaps from a stroke of genius, ulfilling this philosophy calls more for design artists than for engineers.

In Italy in general and, n MV in particular, ust such a thing is possible. The F4 RR 312 is an example of this and adds to the pride the company has felt ever since the creation of the F4 that has been the most beautiful, ong-lived and best-prepared “standard” sports bike ever made. Every line and every angle of the machine has been designed so as to create visual “special effects” involving all the senses with tailor made components, inishings, nd games of light and shadow. The senses are further heightened by the new color schemes on the F4 RR 312. These are based on pearl white base, nthracite black and the traditional winning colors of silver/red.

It is however attention to detail that makes a piece of machinery beautiful and, or this reason, V has dedicated much time and effort to exactly that. New elements for 2009 include the new headlight unit and smoked screen from the F4 CC. Other aesthetic changes include decals and graphics not to mention changes made to the instrument panel, ome of the plastic finishing components, he shock absorber spring that is now red instead of yellow and the tails of the four so-called “organ pipe” exhausts that are now stubbier and more sharply angled.

EQUIPMENT EBS AND SLIPPER CLUTCH…

The successful evolution of the F4 RR 312 lies to a large extent in technical refinements in comparison with the R 312 and includes the following:

-New decals and color schemes

-Smoked screen from the F4 CC

-Smaller exhaust tail pipes with the end piece cross section resembling a “slice of salami”

-New suspension calibration

-Sachs steering damper from the F4 CC

-Brembo monoblock (one-piece) brakes

-1,078cc engine

-Slipper clutch

-New close ratio gearbox

The end result is a significant “re-tuning” of one of the most longed for sports bikes in the world that has shown fans just what MV are capable of throughout the recently ended season.

1078cc ENGINE…

From MV’s point of view, he engine is the key component to both performance and rideability. This is because when the power from an engine is unleashed, t must be with done so with a degree of measure and intelligence so that the frame and suspension respond better to what the rider asks of them. In this case, measure” relates to power delivery and the “intelligence” is electronic. Among the modifications made, ne key element is the increase in cubic capacity from 996 to 1078 cc achieved by increasing the bore from 76 to 79 mm. The cylinder head has been reworked to meet new specifications and features new 10 mm longer intake horns. Power output benefits but so does tractability and the linearity of engine response from this four-cylinder marvel of engineering that is now the world’s most powerful engine in the Hypersport class.

Despite the considerable increase in volume, he engine still revs very highly and offers more torque than ever: from 84.7 – 91.4 ft/lb (115 to 124 Nm) that, t 8,200 is down from the previous 10,000 rpm. The power output of the F4 RR 312 nowadays seems almost innocent, he words are but characters but, t’s there in black and white: 190 HP. It’s as simple as that.

As regards the gear ratios, he first three gears are longer and this spreads the power output better at high speed and also serves to restrain the initial surge on take-off.

First gear takes the bike to 87, econd to about 110 and third to nearly 135 mph. The snarling roar it makes as it passes the pits has to be heard to be believed.

The second most important modification is the introduction of a slipper clutch that does not replace the EBS (Engine Brake System) but works alongside it. It is a mechanical slipper clutch system with ramps and roller bearings. The result is immense deceleration caused by backing off the throttle but it is progressive and thus allows the rider to pick better lines into corners.

Having such an easy to manage engine improves a rider’s automatic reflexes, ncreases feel with the machine and makes riding it all the more satisfying. When really pushing the machine to the limits, he rider becomes more effective on both the road and the track, lmost without realizing it.

THE FRAME: A UNIQUE RIDING EXPERIENCE…

Those of us who have only ridden MV Agustas know that the frame and engine performance are the F4’s strong points. Geometry, pecifications, nd sturdiness are responsible for the sensation of great stability that the bike transmits when being taken flat out around the track. These three elements are blended together in the choice of the material from which the frame is made - chrome-molybdenum steel tubing. The task facing the engineers at Varese this time was to try to improve upon what was perfect – the balance of a machine that was already beyond perfection.

The performance of this frame had already more than satisfied in race meetings where it was able to make the difference on bends and under braking. The diverse riding styles of various riders made no difference whether they were smooth as silk or tended to treat the bike more harshly. In either event, he frame was a winner.

The rear swingarm is still a single swingarm – nothing has changed – neither the mold nor the section has been modified for this component. It is more than able to deal with the power from the new engine as are the other two main settings i.e. the degrees of rake and trail.

SUSPENSION WITH NEW SPORTS CALIBRATION…

Those of us used to working in the racing world know that sophistication lies at the heart of an “extreme” product and nothing must therefore be overlooked or left to chance. Even the smallest technical change can affect the overall balance of the machine. This means working very meticulously where perception counts as much as intuition. This is why the F4 RR 312 now has updated suspension calibration.

The search for perfect balance has dictated that the forks and monoshock shock absorber behave differently to deal with the new power output. The components are the same as on the R 312: Enormous 50 mm Marzocchi front forks and a Sachs “monoshock” at the rear as with the new steering damper inherited from the F4 CC. These are professional components that have been prepared with infinitesimal precision and attention to detail so as offer a taste of what riding a race machine is really all about.

The carbon nitride treated forks, part from their aggressive, riginal color, mprove sliding characteristics within the legs on the forks. Travel has been increased by 1 mm and is now 130 mm. To underline the race-bred nature of this bike, he monoshock is fitted with a hydraulic spring preload adjuster that can be easily and quickly reset with an Allen key. The hydraulic compression has two possible ranges of adjustment, ne for high and the other for low speeds. These improve the behavior at the rear under heavy compression and when the rider encounters frequent changes in the road surface.

BREMBO MONOBLOCK BRAKES…

Brembo racing brakes are fitted to the F4 RR 312. This system is an exact copy of the one used on race-going Superbikes and has two 320 X 5 mm discs up front with one-piece monoblock radial calipers housing 4 pistons and 4 pads. The only difference between the “official” Brembo race brakes lies in the second dust cover fitted to the pistons for the F4 RR 312 for road-going use. This component serves to reduce wear on the brakes that certainly will not be serviced as often as those on a pure racing version.
