New MV Agusta F3 800

Seen the review of this in the MCN and if it is as good as they say then I'll be heading down to the local dealership for a test ride. I've been looking at these for a while (the 1000cc model at least), but think in this form with 800cc and triple engine, it should make for a cracking road bike.

very nice, I wonder what it will be like performance wise compared
to the likes of an 848.

 

Looks good wonder if Ducati will ever pull the trigger on this rumour of a baby Panigale 799?.

 

if they do I will have one....no more silly belts to worry about

 

Its meant to be on a par with the GSXR750 so I'd say it would be better than the 848. Sorry phantom I know you like the 848

I'd agree that a baby Panigale would be awesome, but I've always had a soft spot for the MV, and by the sounds of things they have finally sorted the fuelling issues.

 

750 only has the top end....848 shits all over it in acceleration so I think I will
pass on the MV800 then lol

 

Lol. I knew you'd bite

 

hey cant fault a good bike...same way on the duke site I would say you
cant beat honda quality, mind you im eating my words with this one lol
I am really in a toss up between a RSV4, 1098, new R1 or 2008 MV F4 1000.
I think I will just have to test ride each one and see what I think.
I didnt really like the 1098 when I first rode it favoring the 848 but I think
with a few years on a duck the 1098 might feel better and have a test ride
coming soon for a 2010 R1.

 

I also fancied the 1098, and contemplated getting 1 before the blade, but having only ridden for just over a year, I decided the blade would be the better option. (glad I did as its awesome).

I'm going to take a test ride on both the F3 800 and also the new F4 1000, as the fuelling issues have now been sorted (apparently) on all the new models with a new map.

The Panigale would be a great bike if they made it around the 899cc mark.
I've said it for a while now to my mate, who has the GSXR750, that manufacturers really need to get this capacity of bike back up and running again.

 

the 1098 is a little bit of a handful on twisty roads which is where the 848
came into its own, it was the baby brother but could still power wheelie at
120 lol.
the guy that did all the work on the duke for me said the only issues he seen
with the 08 f4 1000 was the rear hub giving the odd bit of trouble but then
he said it isnt a big job.
