Nice motor, crap review! Steve, "a few unique things" you say, a single sided swing-arm is not unique (Ducati?) and a "cam chain in the middle instead of the end" does not make a narrow engine and it's not unique. OHC chains were long ago moved from the middle to the end of the crankshaft for the same reason. Next time you do a review, don't just tell us what is different, tell us why and how.

Steve has no idea what he's talking about. The engine is doing very well for such an old concept. That bit about the cam chain, oh boy. The reality is the design goes back to 1995 with the Cagiva F4 prototype and the Ferrari F1 engine of 1993. You wouldn't build it that way if you could start again. You would build it like a 4cyl version of F3.

It’s pronounced “Uh-Goo-Sta” not uh-Gus-Ta 😐

MV AGUSTA F4 1000RR AWESOME BIKE, BUT JAPANESE SUPERBIKES IN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP AND MOTO GP ARE THE BEST. ROSSI RIDES A JAPANESE BIKE AND WIN EVER, WHIT DUCATI NEVER.

No matter what the video shows you, they are not reliable and the factory does not honour the warrantee. The motor cycle just stops after about sixty to eighty kilometres and will not start. The dealers do not know how to rectify the machine. This has been an exercise in frustration.

My 1981 gpz 550 had a center mounted cam chain, lol!
