Well, it’s Italian – so it’s a looker! But what’s it like being on the saddle of the incredibly beautiful MV Agusta F3 800?
Everyone loves superbikes – that’s just a fact! The raw power and the character they exude is intoxicating. But try translating that into real world conditions, and they quickly become the most unforgiving and impractical machines on the planet. And the reason for that is that they’re completely track focused.
So what if there was a way to combine that performance with an element of liveability? Nope, we haven’t been out in the sun too long. And, yes, one has to make some sacrifices – but not too many as it turns out. To start with, what you ought to consider is – instead of opting for a litre bike – try an 800cc one that boasts of 148bhp and weighs merely 173kgs (dry). Nope this isn’t the sunstroke talking, I’m talking about the MV Agusta’s F3 800.
