MV Agusta F4 RR

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.

``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.''
