MV Agusta F3 and F4 RC

Speculation surrounds MV’S future, yet they’re cracking on with what they do best – exotic limited-edition full-on sportsbikes

There’s lots of gossip and rumour about MV’S financial situation and the company’s future. It’s all a bit gloomy, so let’s instead focus on the latest takes on their three-cylinder F3 and four-cylinder F4. The RC versions are the real race replicas, with high-spec chassis and colours that replicate the race bikes of Leon Camier (eighth in this year’s WSB) and Jules Cluzel (second in WSS). 2017’s bikes get new paint, paddock stand and cover, race bits, and are signed by the racers. There will be 350 examples of the F3 (in 675 and 800cc guise), and just 250 F4s.
