Driving report MV Agusta F4 1000 Senna

For two good causes

F.Five percent of 30144 euros is 1507.20 euros. This portion of the sales price of the exclusive special model of the F4 1000 limited to 300 copies will be transferred to the foundation set up by Ayrton Senna for the benefit of needy children. That’s the first good cause of this motorcycle.

One can find it reprehensible that the charitable activity uses a decidedly luxury toy here. The children supported by the Senna Foundation shouldn’t care, and the motorcycle doesn’t deserve disparaging remarks either. It’s not a blender that was created just for the show-off promenade, but a fast and, close to the peak of performance, also quite poisonous driving machine. It demands full commitment from its drivers. In the spirit of its namesake. This is their second good cause. Ultimately, the ideal solution to real driving pleasure.

Technically, the MV 1000 Senna is based on the recently introduced 1000 R with its performance-enhanced engine with modified tuning. The special model also received a super-fine Sachs Racing shock absorber, in which both compression and rebound levels can be adjusted in the high and low-speed range, as well as a special Marzocchi fork with a modified coating, according to the brochure, the finest in the range. Whether it is because of the particularly careful assembly or simply because of the aura of the Senna remains her secret. In any case, it drives a little, but noticeably better than the standard 1000 R, which the author had moved in the same place a few weeks earlier. Through the Parabolica of the big course in Hockenheim, where the R had still slightly stirred with the stern, the Senna arrows with the last two percent of driving stability and does not allow itself to be carried away to symptoms of underdamping even by almost tropical temperatures. The same type of tire is fitted, the Pirelli Dragon Supercorsa in the street-legal version and with the aspect ratio 190/55 on the rear wheel. They cut a fine figure in the heat and bring the performance of the MV safely onto the slopes, even in full incline. Fortunately, the set-up of the shock absorber fits straight away, and the tester doesn’t have to venture into the jungle of adjustment options.

Although the brakes of the Senna were more stressed than those of the R due to the higher outside temperatures and a number of laps, they held up perfectly. The pressure point adjusted to a position after the first sharp lap, which it then no longer left. If the difference was due to the pads, which could not be determined afterwards, MOTORRAD recommends the specification of the Senna. ras
