The first production bike to feature MV Agusta’s legendary inline 3-cylinder racing engine. A magnificent example of the old principle that form follows function: every detail of the F3 has been designed to achieve maximum speed. The result is a breathtaking work of Motorcycle Art, in MV Agusta’s purest tradition. The signature 3-exit exhaust and the mean looking headlight tell a story of speed and passion in the unmistakable MV Agusta style. This street-legal supersport, with a 1.380 mm wheelbase for a total weight of 173kg sets the standard for the category. There are 3 F3 models in the range, including the RC limited series.

The R takes all the characteristics of the F3 to an extreme, with lines designed for performance and projected into the future. Style and performance find their ultimate expression in the contrast between the red fairing and all black components. At the heart of the F3 project is the in-line three-cylinder engine, a unique example of race-derived technology that is easy to manage, on both road and track. The extreme versatility of the engine, rich in torque at all speeds, is one of the secrets of this unit complete with counter-rotating crankshaft and removable gearbox. The intake and exhaust valves are in titanium.
