On the M4 today and a bike went screaming past me. Not sure what it was but it looked cool. Had 4 exhaust pipes coming out under the seat. Any idea what it was ?

The MV F4 312 RR ( Laughing ) is the fastest production bike in terms of top speed.

I know the S1000RR is the most powerful but I'm not sure if it wins on top speed?

And they made the limited edition F4 CC, which I believe was a touch quicker at around 195mph, and cost £75k!

Wow... 1mph quicker than a 99 busa! Razz

Be interesting to see what a stock derestricted (if they are) BMW could do, as well as one with Akrapovic full system and map.

They just keep adding letters instead of making a new bike! Laughing

The new one has 4 square exhausts though Wink

They are usually old R1s and look hideous with those pipes.

Out of the box the S1000RR can do 192mph, with some modification I would have thought 200mph is quite possible.
