F3 675 MV Agusta - on order!

[Belltower]

Fair enough but someone has to be the guinea pig, so I say come what may. I speak for myself here In comparison I would always go the MV, just love them and with the added element of surprise makes it all the more exciting .

agree 100% - bring it on!

You are everything that is wrong with this world.

A little bit of history.
MV Agusta was a aviation- and later helicopter manufacturer started around the first world war and the boss opted to get his company throught the second world war years afterwards by making Motorcycles.
They also went back to making aircrafts and signed a contract to maintain and build Bell helicopters and other aviation products.
Meccanica Verghera Agusta was officially in place on 12-2-1945 and has been building bikes ever since, many were 2 stroke engined bikes!
At the beginning of the 1950ish they became involved in international racing
The more famous riders were Giacomo Agostini, Phil Read, Tepi Lansvuori, Franco Bonera, John Surtees, Les Graham, Carlo Ubaldi, Cecil Stanford just to name a few.
In 1977 MV Agusta ceased to excist and remnants/naming rights have since then been bought and sold to all and sundry, but it has never since been a true/real MV Agusta other than the name plate and signwritting being the same design.
My father did have a real MV Agusta, the 1971 750S, this very bike is now in a museum in Europe.
If one states here on a forum that they dig MV bikes, then you might as well understand a bit of the real history of this very famous mark!
I am looking forward to seeing the new F3-F4 in real life!
They look and sound like a real MV should.
And for the price they will be a succes and sell lots of them, hopefully they are easier to ride than the last lot of F4's

Thanks for the history Jamathi appreciated, but I had done a bit of research myself.

I am going to be going racing a fair bit hopefully as I missed my first track day oh well hopefully soon.

"primary attraction to European bike due to brand status" - if this was the case id be buying a ducati or bmw you knob

cheers for posting that up man, is always a great thing to know where the heritage of the bikes come from etc.

I suspect that 'Kickass Koola' is the type of person that plays it safe all the time. Someone who never tries new things and doesn't understand those who do.
I find it difficult to understand why someone would go out of their way to excessively and unjustly criticise someone for ordering a new motorbike.

Enjoy the bike (and the anticipation) 'nd4boost'.

[Towlybear]

I say do what you want, its your money so do as you please. Ignore the haters and show that mv off like it deserves when you get it i love the MV's but i could never bring myself to buy one, would just want to box it up and put it in my living room

[R160]

Fuck em, i went out and bought my recently sold Tornado , only ever saw one in the flesh, never sat on one or test rode it, and the factory was closed at the time with no gaurantee's it would even reopen, best thing i ever did in terms of buying a bike.
if you dont want the adventure or have the passion, go buy a camry....
hell Ive been waiting since late May for my new bike since i found out it was coming to Oz, adr delays etc etc, and its going to be so worth it..

just like most DD16RR owners, S1000RR, ZX10R owners, many had orders in way before they even saw the bike in the flesh

[Xuaxace]

Correct me if I am wring but both people who have put an order in this seem to be young? If so mv has hit the nail in the head.

[andymac]

hopefully they are easier to ride than the last lot of F4's

Out of interest, what made the F4s difficult to ride? Handling, power delivery, combo thereof?

I was thinking of putting it in my room but then thought no way can I have a bike and not ride it . I never listen to haters mainly because they hate you for doing something they never did or are to scared to do. I am well aware of the risks involved so as I said earlier, come what may.

Nice man Tornado is one hell of a bike, good luck with your new one!

I speak for myself here but yeah I am young.

Yeah that is what I thought, but I just ignore them not worth wasting my breathe as it were. So good luck with your F3 nd4boost maybe I'll see you on the pick up day

[R160]

know know of at least older boy with one on older I belive he is #1 on the waiting list ;-)

[Jamathi]

Out of interest, what made the F4s difficult to ride? Handling, power delivery, combo thereof?

powerdelivery is concentrated at the very topend of the rev range.
I suspect with the ultra short stroke that this F3 machine will be a bit similair, i.e. has to make revs to make the torque/HP.
As long as the gearing and powercurve is sufficient to be able to ride along sedately it will be sweet.
The other thing is the exhausts are now away from the riders seating position. Big +

[nd4boost]

your right, im 25 and by the time the F3 arrives it will be my 26th bday present next year

[Daytona]

Ouch, thanks for pointing that out Nath.

I am 52 years young and I ordered my F3 way back in April.

I think Kickass is out of line with (most of) his comments - but that is just my opinion (just as 'the Koola' is entitled to his).

nice man, will be a few of us in the group with them which will be mad

[Ozboy]

The handling is phenomenal, but the power delivery is just so aggressive it puts a lot of people off them. I've just come back from a ride on the F4 and after 3 years, I'm still grinning and the bike still scares me.

I bet the F3 is going to be one brilliant ride.

[Rat750]

Finally got her back on the tarmac eh?

[Ozboy]

It was good Cam and to think I had the idea in my head to sell her.

[Rat750]

Hush your mouth I'm out of townn for a couple weeks come wednesday but we'll have to go for a ride/beer before xmas mate. Might even be able to wrangle that Speedtrip fella into it
