| New MV Agusta F4 R Corsa Corta Posted: 05 Oct 2011 10:00 PM PDT |
Hi guys, MV Agusta has just released details of their new 2012 F4 R Corsa Corta, which is a lower cost, lower-spec. alternative to the F4 RR.
The R's engine is identical to the 998cc, short-stroke, four-cylinder unit carried by the more expensive RR, but with a small drop in power from 201bhp to 195bhp. This is due to a different ECU mapping and the absence of the RR's hand ported cylinder head.
Compared to the fully Ohlins equipped F4 RR, the F4 R will come with adjustable Marzocchi 50mm forks and an adjustable Sachs shock. It also lacks the adjustable steering head, Ohlins steering damper and Brembo radial brake cylinder of its more expensive sibling, carrying an MV-built steering damper and Nissin brake master cylinders instead.
Build-quality is marginally reduced too, with a MAG-welded frame in place of the RR's TIG-welded structure and cast aluminum wheels in place of forged units.

Melvin Front Steel Braided Brake Lines
Posted: 04 Oct 2011 10:00 PM PDT
Hey, what’s going on guys? Today we finally got back to our Ducati 848 with a new modification. The good folks over at Max Moto provided us with a custom set of Melvin steel braided front brake lines.
The lines are white to match our 848 with the ends being red just in case we wanted to install red calipers. Check it out.
