Much ink, both physical and digital, has been spilled in the service of what is widely considered one of the most beautiful motorcycles of the modern era, the MV Agusta F4 1000 Senna. Brainchild of Massimo Tamburini, the F4 represented MV Agusta’s return to production in 1998 after decades missing from the world stage. Initial reviews gushed over the looks, radial-valve technology, and sophisticated chassis, but the performance of the original 750cc version was somewhat underwhelming, especially compared to bikes like Suzuki’s refined and evergreen GSX-R750, given the new bike’s eye-watering price. Introduced in 2005, the F4 1000 went a long way towards making the bike the performance icon the looks suggested, with 166 and later 174hp from the 998cc inline four engine. If you’re wondering about the connection to Formula 1 driver Aryton Senna: while he was obviously famed for his four-wheeled exploits, sales from the F4 Senna were used to help fund The Senna Foundation, a charitable organization started by the racing driver before his untimely passing.

1 of 65 Limited Edition: 2007 MV Agusta F4 Senna is a limited edition motorcycle built to honor Ayrton Senna, featuring a 998cc inline-four engine producing 174 horsepower. It is equipped with high-end components like Brembo radial brakes, Marzocchi forks, Sachs rear suspension, and forged Marchesini wheels. A total of 300 were produced worldwide, with only 65 coming to the United States.

The seller lists this as an F4 1000R but the Senna, while being the same specification as the R was, I believe, simply referred to as an F4 1000 Senna. Regardless, the quality of the componentry is high and the bike was very, very fast for the time. Still is today, although a complete lack of any rider aids would probably make it a handful for anyone trying to ride it at the edge of its performance envelope if they’re used to modern superbikes. The included specifications are nice, but we can easily get those off the internet: there’s no real history included here, which is always a good thing to have when shopping for a used $25,000 Italian superbike. How’s that famously problematic rear hub looking? Bone-stock but lovingly cared for and meticulously torqued-to-spec every few thousand miles, or upgraded to an improved component? My usual criticisms apply here: yes, MV Agusta F4 1000 Sennas have sold for the asking price and beyond, but those generally had much lower miles than seen here, and the bikes were better presented. Also: the decals, dude. Decals. It’s a super-cool machine and very collectible, but I think the seller is being very ambitious, given the current market for these bikes.

All these early MV Agusta bikes are really special. All the parts were farmed out to the best suppliers in the business. The frames are CrMo and hand tig welded. The welds when compared to the newer bikes are works of art. Expensive and worth it.
“Also: the decals, dude. Decals.” this needed to be said. Thank you.
Won’t bring half the asking price I mean it’s well used and Senna who?
No question they’re works of art, from a distance and up close. I love them, I just wish they’d spent just a little bit of time making them tolerable to actually ride. It honestly couldn’t have been that hard to have added just a bit more leg room, moved the bars just a bit closer, managed heat just a little better… they’re really just brutal to ride for any length of time for most people. Unpopular opinion: the second-gen bikes are much better to actually ride.
Seriously. [shakes head sadly] The guy’s selling a $25,000 [if he’s lucky] collectible Italian exotic, and he’s basically got third-party advertising stickers still on it? He probably lost at least $5k right there. All for the want of a $25 heat gun…
Senna was not an inconsequential figure in the history of motorsport. We’ll see whether that translates in to added value for these ‘specials’.
