The distinctive howl of a supersport's in-line four engine most probably conjures up images of Japanese sportbikes tearing up the race track, or squidding it out on the streets. It has become such a staple in the motorcycle world, that normies call any bike with an in-line four exhaust sound a Ninja—deriving its origins from Kawasaki's most popular motorcycle, of course. Well, following the normies' train of thought, there are quite a few "Ninjas" that aren't from Japan. Most notable are the BMW S 1000 RR, and the bike featured here today, the MV Agusta F4.

It could be argued that the MV Agusta F4 was built in response to the Japanese supersports of the time, however despite having a similar formula, the MV Agusta had quite a few things going for it that set it apart from its eastern competitors. Powered by a 998cc in-line four, the 2007 model of the F4 featured here produced 174 horsepower and 83 lb-ft of torque. A Magneti Marelli 5SM fuel injection system was equipped for optimum performance all the way up to the bike's screaming 17,000 rpm redline. All this made for an exotic performance machine that could hold its own against any superbike during its time.
