From Gizmag.com.. sounds like the MT10 is still much higher revving than the V2, and a bit more than the V4.

Hence somewhere between a standard high revving inline 4 and the Tuono V4:


====
... Re. MT10:


In its detuned state, the 998 cc in-line four motor produces no less than 160.4 hp (119.6 kW) at 11,500 rpm, with a gritty maximum torque of 111 Nm (81.9 ft-lbs) at 9,000 rpm. In comparison to the R1, the MT outputs its maximum power values considerably lower in the rev scale. The R1 achieves the 200-hp mark at 13,500 rpm, but in the naked version this kind of power would be nothing short of overkill. Interestingly enough, the maximum torque of the MT is very close to the R1's 112.4 Nm, but being produced 2,500 rpm lower in the MT hints at a pretty muscular midrange torque curve.

This power has to move a mass of 210 kg (463 lb) – oils and full 17-liter (4.5 gal) gas tank included. The MT is slightly longer that its superbike sibling, yet at 1,400 mm (55.12 in) its wheelbase is 5 mm (0,2 in) shorter in comparison.

Sorry Aldo! Forgot you just like to look at your machines... with no regard for how they ride! .

Mind you, with that much "juice" in you, best just to look! :cheers :thumbup
