``Our goal is to have it launched in Australia in March 2012.'' says MV Agusta Imports manager, Kevin Beale.
ITALIAN superbike brand MV Agusta recently returned to Australia and now promises their hottest model yet.
The company has released a video teaser for its new F4 RR version. Under new importers MV Agusta Imports, the standard F4 costs $25,800 ride away which is substantially less than the $32,000 it used to cost.
However, you can expect to pay a lot more for the RR when it finally arrives.
MV Agusta Imports manager Kevin Beale says the bike will be coming to Australia but ``extracting hard info from HQ is difficult''.
``All we know about it is it will have 200hp (150kW) and Ohlins suspension, but it will be exciting,'' he says.
``Right now we don't have confirmed production start-up month, but we are expecting it to be this year judging by the way the Italians are talking."
``It's not going to be a cheap bike. It will come with a fairly big premium over the standard.''
Other models in the MV range include the naked Brutale 1090 ($20,800, previously about $25,000) and Brutale 1078 ($17,800, previously about $25,900). Beale says the Italian brand has promised shipments of the new F3 600cc three-cylinder Supersport F3 from the first run of production in September.
``Our goal is to have it launched in Australia in March 2012.'' MV has also dropped the iconic under-seat ``organ pipes'' and replaced them with a Buell-style exhaust system underneath the engine.
Details of the power and performance of the vehicle have not been released. MV has a dealer in each state and two in NSW.
``Sales are quite healthy,'' Beale says.
Their biggest seller is the Brutale, but they admit supply is short.
``We're a start-up company and we didn't know how many of each colour and model to order,'' he admits.
``We took a stab in the dark and have under-ordered on Brutale.''
