Review

The 2013 MV Agusta F4 R is a striking sportbike that continues the legacy of the iconic F4 series, known for its distinctive design and potent engine. This model year offered refinements to the already impressive F4 platform. It sits in a competitive market segment, vying for attention against established rivals such as the Ducati 1199 Panigale and the BMW S1000RR. The F4 R aimed to provide a unique Italian alternative with its own distinct character and performance.

At the heart of the 2013 F4 R beats a 998.0 ccm (60.90 cubic inches) inline-four engine, producing a formidable 110.8 Nm (11.3 kgf-m or 81.7 ft.lbs) of torque at 9600 RPM. This powerplant allows the bike to reach a top speed of 291.2 km/h (180.9 mph), making it a serious contender on the track. The motorcycle's dry weight is 191.0 kg (421.1 pounds), contributing to its agile handling. Fuel capacity is 17.00 litres (4.49 US gallons), providing a decent range for spirited rides.

The F4 R offers track-focused ergonomics, with rearset pegs and a somewhat aggressive riding position. The seat height of 830 mm (32.7 inches) may pose a challenge for shorter riders, but it contributes to the feeling of being connected to the machine. While not designed for long-distance touring, the F4 R prioritizes responsiveness and control, making it a rewarding experience on twisty roads and circuits. The chassis provides excellent feedback, allowing the rider to confidently explore the bike's limits.

The 2013 MV Agusta F4 R is targeted towards experienced riders who appreciate Italian design and are seeking a high-performance sportbike with a unique character. It's for those who value exclusivity and are willing to accept some compromises in comfort for the sake of raw performance and distinctive styling. If you're looking for a machine that provides an involving riding experience and stands out from the crowd, the F4 R is a compelling option.
