Don't even think of racing your Hayabusa against this...
There’s a new MV Agusta F4 available now – the R 312 – and guess what the ‘312’ in the name signifies? Yeah, the bike can hit a top speed of 312km/h – take that you ZZR1400 and Hayabusa owners!
Apart from the gorgeous styling, the new F4 R 312 also gets better suspension – 50mm Marzocchi forks (carbon-nitride treated, and featuring 13 compression and 22 rebound settings...) and a Sachs monoshock with double hydraulic compression settings (whatever that means...) It also gets very light, forged, Y-spoke aluminium Brembo wheels and brakes with radial mount calipers.
The F4 R 312’s 1000cc inline-four makes more than 180 horsepower at 12,400rpm and is fully Euro 3 compliant. More important for many would be the fact that apart from new white and black paint schemes, the bike will also be available in the classic MV Agusta red/silver livery. Ooohhh... :-)

Has anyone succeeded in verifying the claimed 312 km/h top speed? No, I thought not. I haven't seen this kind of exaggeration from the Italians since the 70's, when they were infamous for it. Ferrari claimed an equally absurd 330 km/h for their Boxer.
312KM/H? thats it? I had my 2001 unrestricted Hayabusa and I hit about 341KM/H*if I did my MPH to KMH conversion right* That was 100% factory too!
But can you drive from it on a track? :)
312 isnt the fastest. the origional unrestricted busa had the record at 326kph, as listed in guniess world records
