I have several MV F4s of various years and slightly different hp outputs; and I think it's more of a slightly-slower-acceleration-and-then-can't-run-'em-down-up-top thing for the R1s. My 1078RR is my fastest MV on GPS at 192mph. Full Ti exhaust and Microtec ECU gives 191hp at the tire (+22 from the 169hp stock baseline). Weight is about the same as the new R1s, at 479# stock.
The 1078RRs did 187mph stock. All my R1s are close, between 174 and 186mph on GPS; but not in acceleration TO top speed. And a few mph just can't be made up on the big end, so the gap just widens at warp speeds. The ZX-10Rs are crazy fast. I have several of those, too; and I understand your plight. Mod-for-mod, you're still gonna be a bit short on the Kawis.
Pipes, filter, and reflash/tune should make you happy and get you close. I'd recommend a nice set of forged wheels as much as anything. The '07-later MVs have Brembo (Marchesini) Superlights that are only 1.0/1.5 heavier than BST carbons F/R.
