CHARLIE SAYS...

The wait for MV's Euro 4 compliant F3 has been frustrating, but worthwhile... I can now say. It's held on to so many of the virtues that the previous F3 delighted us with, including being effortless and intuitive to ride, but this new generation of exotica has taken the experience to a whole new level. It feels sharper, and the electronics are definitely more refined. And as for the new sleek gearbox, well, it's no longer the agricultural example we'd once considered it to be. I really like this bike, and not just because it looks stunning and sounds awesome, it's also because it's so usable and so much fun to ride.
