The F4 750 S is a superbike motorcycle from the Italian manufacturer MV Agusta .
In 1997 the “rebirth” of MV Agusta was celebrated with the F4 750 Oro . The special model, limited to 300 pieces, was first presented at the EICMA motorcycle fair in Milan in 1997 and built and sold in 1999.
From 2000 the model F4 750 S was built, the S stands for Strada, this model should now come in larger numbers. The model F4 750 S 1 + 1 or also F4 750 S Biposto offered a seat for a passenger. It was presented in 1999 and sold from 2000.
The design of the F4 comes from Massimo Tamburini , who already designed the Ducati 916 for Ducati , which is considered a milestone in the history of Ducati in the new era after Fabio Taglioni .
Furnishing
The engine is the first basic model in the F4 series to deliver 93 kW / 126 hp and 74 Nm . The F4 750 S Evo 02 available from 2002 and the F4 750 S Evo 03 in 2003 had 101 kW / 137 PS and 81.4 Nm . Andrea Goggi was responsible for engine development, who, in collaboration with Ferrari, brought the conceptual basis from the Formula 1 engines from 1990 to 1992, e.g. B. the radial arrangement of the four valves per cylinder. Another detail is the cassette gear. The chassis was redesigned under the responsibility of Massimo Parenti.
The engine hangs in a tubular space frame and is used as a load-bearing element. The chassis has a 49 mm upside-down fork specially developed for MV Agusta by Showa with unconventional fork feet, a Sachs strut , a CNC-milled 6-piston (front) and 4-piston (rear) brake system from Nissin . In contrast to the F4 750 Oro , which had Marvin wheels, frame plates , single-sided swingarm and the lower triple clamp made of magnesium , these were now made of cheaper aluminum .

All painted parts, such as the entire casing, the rear and the airbox, are made of thermoplastic ABS , on the F4 750 Oro they were made of lighter CFRP .

Model history
After the initial success of the F4 750 S , the technical concept of Massimo Tamburine was transferred to a classic Cafe Racer and introduced in 2000 as the Brutale 750 Oro and sold in a 300-piece limited series, in Germany for 56.790 DM (29,036 €) according to the price list. The cheaper Brutale 750 S only came onto the motorcycle market in 2003 . The F4 750 S was replaced in 2004 by the F4 1000 S with 1000 cm 3 , which could only be recognized optically by the 1000 lettering. As a result, other models were also created, such as B. F4 1000 R , the F4 Ago , the F4 Tamburini , also the Brutale 910 and others.
