Just curious if you know anything about the MV Agusta F5. Rumors put the 970 cc making 165hp@the countershaft and around 150hp@the rear-wheel. Heard anything new on it yet?

I was just curious about it to see if the Euro-bikes will finally challange the Asia-bikes.

Power,
Sounds like a sweet bike.. I can't wait to see it run. They say that highly tuned it will make 165 hp at the sprocket, but when released, it will be closer to 150hp. the engine is based on the 750cc motor, the stroke is increased from 43.8mm to 55mm, while the bore goes up from 73.8mm to 76mm – giving a capacity of 998cc. The bore and stroke are similar to bikes like the R1 (74x58) and the Honda FireBlade (74x54)
I think with these numbers, it will definitely be a challenge!

All I know is that it will kick my little ninjas a$$
