Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Aprilia RSV4 RR 2016

Aprilia RSV4 RR 2016

The Aprilia stands out from the crowd with its sonorous V4 sound, sounding more like a two-cylinder than a screaming in-line four. You immediately feel at home on the RSV4 RR and can immediately ride at decent lean angles without having to feel your way around. In terms of handling, it is very pleasant, even though you are sitting quite high up on it. It is a little too compact for tall riders. Compared to its predecessor, it is easier to ride, but at the same time much stronger and faster. It scores points especially on corner entry with great feedback from the front wheel.

MV Agusta F3 800 2017

Amazingly mature motorbike. The mechanical soundscape sounds very exotic, but the handling was fabulous. The MV manages to do what other "midsize" supersport bikes can't. It has the equipment of the big 1000 combined with easy handling and convertible power. Even when stationary, the F3 is enchanting, and in the saddle you have finally fallen in love.

Flawlessly tuned engine with clean response and good power

great brakes

bike looks ultra-compact, yet acceptable seating position

great chassis makes turning and manoeuvring child's play

timelessly cool look.

Mechanically rough soundscape

Somewhat little space for knees
