Pros and Cons in comparison

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

Dealer network and spare parts supply "shaky".
