This is the newly released MV Augusta F3 800, everything I am reading about this machine is saying that MV got this one right! Class leading power and handling, a stirring engine note and drop dead gorgeous looks, so what's not to love? They even got the TC and low rpm throttle glitches from the 675 worked out on this one. I want one of these so bad for the looks alone but now they're saying this may be the perfect sportbike with 600 like handling and liter like power output. Ciao baby!

I like this color combo.
(I wish the forum software was updated so we can post any size picture.)

In sport rider mag they just had it's big brother the f4rr or something like that and for a street bike they said it's ok. They said it was like riding a jackhammer how vibey and buzzy it was. Maybe this mv they got right but they aren't known for the greatest built bikes. Wish they sold them in my area. They are hard to find.

She's sweet Kruzerman....sweet!BTW...glad yer back postin...was kinda worried about ya;)

Kruz, it's time ['s a waste'inn] rotate the fleet. Sell! Sell! Sell! = 1 14, 1 gotta have it.

Too small for Kruz but if you ride a 600, you can ride this one...just not all the time. Must say my first thought was "O MY God, how beautifull that bike is@" Second thought was that bike will look great under a trim <6" tall guy.

I will buy your 10r if you let it go cheap enough for me.

I say ADD ADD ADD. NO sell. just add. (still can give me dibs on the 10r if you want).

Are we taking over the 14r section with literbike threads now?

wait I have a question about my busa's charging system....NEW THREAD!!!

Kruz, line of credit baby!
Whot! Done.

Sorry Grn, been super busy tryin to make a living and finding out if I still have a job. My company was bought out on July 26th, in what is starting to look like a hostile takeover (assets only purchase). Bikes have been one of the things I've had to put on the back burner until I figure all this out. Good news is I may not have to move, bad news is I don't know how long things will last here.

That 800 is beautiful but expensive. The 675 was released before they had all of the bugs worked out, this one sounds finished out of the gate. The cool thing about an MV is the closer you get, the better it starts to look as there are details within the details.

Never understood those hostile takeovers, seems like a twisted form of monopoly or something ....

I really can't even think about another bike right now, just came back from a job interview and if I'd accepted it, would have taken a 35% haircut from where I'm at now......yikes. I may just stick out the present job and see what happens.

I'm no expert but I think they dismantle the company, get rid of all the employees and sell off the assets which are worth more than the original company was, something like that.

And claim bankruptcy somewhere in between there.

I've witnessed a few hostile take overs over here on the bike set! Man Kruz wish you the best of luck. I don't like haircuts!
Big ups,
Wman

rode the old f4 750, dissapointed i was

If I must be honest, I prefer the looks of the white Ducati 848 evo. The MV is nice, but something about the 848. I'd rather have that, than a panigale. Maybe its the extra red bits and wheels, and a little more white. They are close in appearance, just prefer the duck.

and omg. Just looked up the price of the MV. 18200 plus tax? F that. sorry. I'd have a gsxr750 for 10k first. It may just be another gixxer, and lack the MV or the Duc's soul; but for the money.... It'd do.

I love the styling of it

The guys that buy these things have the money to burn from what I've seen, the rest of us mere mortals can only dream.....and drool!

You could Kruz, baby sort and organize your stable, perhaps sell one, buy one, or with her Italian price tag, sell two, buy one. It's still not totally out of reach!
