MV Agusta - THE 3 CYLINDER STORY HAS BEEN REVIVED

[R Doug]

After years of continuous design and development along with ongoing research to create the most beautiful and technologically advanced 600cc bike of the world, the first pictures of the “real” MV AGUSTA F3 are revealed.




I read MV will be making a naked version of this bike too.

Honestly, I don't understand why it's not a 675.  It'll be slower and weaker than other 600s, and suffer in comparison with the Triumph as well.

Triumph got everyone to think that a triple 675 = a four 600, so why not take advantage of that displacement bump?

The November issue of Cycle World stays the motor is 675cc.  The press release from MV doesn't provide enough details to confirm or deny.

Well, the link provided above goes to the MV site, and calls it the 600F3... Not trying to read too much into that, but that seems like a clue to me.

I thought it was going to be a 675, too.  But the latest round of info definitely says 600cc.  

This is a very important bike for the new MV Agusta.  Castiglioni is hoping to sell 10,000 units of it next year, so expect a pretty competitive price.

I'm very interested in the "Brutalina”

Agreed -- He hasn't got much time to demonstrate that he can do something positive with all the HD investment . . .

I wish MV luck -- it'd be aces to have the revered marque viable.

Triples rock

Good luck to MV Agusta - I'm super happy with the offerings Triumph has though.  I don't see me spending money on a different triple.
