2022 MV Agusta F3 RR Review - An Italian Masterpiece? 4K

[@chrisphillips2358]

I find it fascinating how much they havent changed over time.. I have a 2014 F3 Agostini Edition (1 of 300 worldwide) and seems (especially after your comments) they still have the exact same rubbish mirrors, the same tail taidy, exactly the same body work, motor (even the fuse box design and placement) and the same dry weight. This could be considered "lazy" for number of manufacturers, however mine has the same howl, the same feeling of being super special and the same hunger for the bends. I'm 6'1 so it feels small, cramped, rist-ey, and uncomfortable and I F*****G love it!! I have a V4 Streetfighter as well which i love, but the F3 feels like going on a date with Kate Beckinsale every time i fire it up... You can have my F3 when you pry the keys out of my cold, dead hands!!!!

[@bruceread4507]

Perhaps they are finding it very had to improve on something thats almost perfect !!! Motor is different & better.

[@toluwole]

Fantastic review. I have its older big sister (F4 RR) and I am so happy with it. I think MV is the bike you get once you ridden most everything else and you crave something different and unique.

[@Fee.1]

So I fell in love with MV over the triples. I didn’t even know they had inline 4 versions for quite a while. As a result I’m afraid somehow I’m forever sticking to the triples. That’s part of what makes it exotic to me I guess. And it’s my first MV love story. Does that make any sense? I feel weird for not lusting over the i4 MV’s but despite being better bikes that makes them too “normal” for me somehow

[@emmsar708]

Μarch 2022 i bought an mv superveloce in Athens Greece. I totally confirm your review. It is a bike for smaller riders, breaks great, sound amazing, rides well at slow speeds. Puts a smile on my face every time i ride it. Every review i ve seen you do a great job!

[@ragerider6283]

Great review & a beautiful bike. Personally I'd go for the lower spec version & I get what you're saying about the lack of electronic suspension etc considering the price. However I much prefer manually adjustable suspension as the electronic stuff is just too expensive & less flexible & sensitive imo.

The quickness with which the MV triple revs is what made me fall in love with it. Sounds insane. The light flywheel and insanely quick revs is what makes these. It’s their je ne sais quoi

Great review of a bike not many will see out in the wild. I think Suzuki is missing a trick not having the GSXR750 in the line up. Saying that with the currant problems they have, we wont be seeing anything new or even refreshed for quite some time.

[@michaelarchangel1163]

I agree. A GSXR 750 may not have the bling factor of this MV but they were cast iron reliable. I never heard any reports of the Suzukis jumping out of gear, to name but one issue that's plagued this manufacturer in the very recent past.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I hope you’re wrong on that but time will tell!

I used to really love the Triumph 675 r, don't know why they stopped making it, it was the best sounding three cylinder engine. This looks awesome but doesn't sound as good as the Triumph.

[@ThiefOfNavarre]

Probably emissions regulations. A 14k rpm redline with anything less than a 1.2L engine probably wouldn't meet euro5. It's the reason the panigale has constanly gone up in displacement

Have owned both, the MV is in a different league, add a QD exhaust and you are in a new world☺

I’m glad you’re a bit indifferent to the tech, I find the bike magazines are over the top about it. It’s often the first thing you’re told. But if it stops a novice on a 200bhp super bike from dying, then fair enough. As for traction control and riding modes on a 500cc, that’s bonkers!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Glad we concur!

[@tonebonetones]

I am sorely tempted. However, the tug of an older, but more collectable, MV F4 is winning. To me, that piece of Tamburini magic just edges the Ducati 916 on looks. This looks gorgeous, too, TMF, and I really need to see one in the flesh....AND find a damm dealer within 100 miles of Newcastle.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Well there is that….

[@brucetaylor7085]

Excellent report, however I am surprised that you did not mention the fact that you just cannot see the lights for the indicators and fuel gauge. Having owned six MV's since 2012, they have never improved which I am somewhat surprised out considering the improvement in technology over that period

[@michaelhoward142]

What a gorgeous machine. The color reminds me a bit of the '86 BMW K100RS I owned back in the day. Depending on the angle of the sunlight hitting it, it would appear different shades of red. Not quite as lustrous as this Aprilia, unfortunately. And who'd have thought that putting on an Akrapovich silencer would be a downgrade in looks? ;)

[@alanprice9938]

I’ve ridden or owned all the bikes I’ve ever wanted to try - Ducati, BMW, Harley, Fireblades, Husky, Kwaka, Yam, Suzi, Triumph, Aprilia etc…… but the one I’ve never ridden is an MV. I’ve always wanted one, but I’ve waited so long that I’m a bit frightened it’ll feel like a let down…..kinda like meeting your heroes. I was really keen to try all the above, and mostly as good as I’d hoped, but had high expectations disappointed by the all the Triumphs and Aprilias I’ve ridden. You mention the engaging ride of the MV, so maybe it’ll be fine. What would the perfect MV be, if you were only ever to ride one of them? I’d think a direct competitor to the Panigale V4s would be the dream.

[@emmsar708]

Life is too short wait no more. I bought an MV superveloce in March. Its not as fast as tuono or panigale but the looks the vibe the noise the riding quality is on another level.

[@brianhaygood183]

The triple exhaust on the base model is cool. The RR is clearly the better choice. However, for 20k, it should have Ohlins and more modern spec Brembos, not to mention a Brembo master cylinder insteado of the Nissin that has caused to many brake complaints. It's got the looks and I'm sure the counter-rotating engine is helpful in the twisties. Tempting, just so many other little things they could easily have done better. You'd be at almost 25k by the time you swapped to Ohlins and better Brembos.
