    From :http://www.mvagusta.it/en/f3?aprix=t...res()#techdata

    "....ENGINE
    The powerplant of the new F3, an inline 675cc three cylinder, plays homage to the most victorious motorcycle brand in the word. With this layout MV raced and won an unprecedented number of races and world championship titles. This iconic engine has now returned in the form of an avant-garde middle weight supersport with performance technical solutions based on the demands of Claudio Castiglioni who is convinced that this is the ideal architecture for a middle weight supersport.
    The engine is the most compact, incredible short and narrow engine ever seen in this category. The powerplant is incredibly modern in design, technologically advanced and capable of generating the most power ever seen in this category. One of the numerous technical features is the counter-rotating crankshaft, never before seen on a production supersport engine....."


    Definitely a 675, despite some websites saying it's a 600.

    No, they have instead decided to restrict sales to people intelligent enough to both own and know how to use a torque wrench.

    MV reckons by the time they go into production the engine will put out close to 140 hp! Bugger me, that's 20 more then the Daytona. I suppose you pay for it though.

    Just keep her, I mean the MV is probably the same as her anyway, looks good, has 3 orifice's, and makes a mad screaming noise when you ring her neck.

    I imagine in 20 years though, the resale on the MV will be better. She's great looking, but, shit that MV is in another league

    To start with I'll admit right up front that for some time now I've found the whole sport bike 'look' somewhat undesirable. I think it is that they are all looking very much a muchness and nothing really 'new' or 'raw' is appearing.

    Now with that out of the way ......

    YUM - I do like the look of that beast. Well side on (not keen on the headlight). After my first comment I am unsure why - I think it is the mid/rear treatment with the 'hole' under the seat behind the engine giving the bike a perception of stripped down lightness.

    Is a 'naked' version on the way to compete with the Triumph Street?

    You may need to add a few specifications to gain some interest.

    Bore and stroke is good to know.....

    How many miles? Maybe she is a fresh 'import'

    Colour

    Expensive to run?

    Servicing intervals .....


    I should probably stop now ..........
