2011 MV Agusta F3 Will Be a 600cc Triple – Official Teaser Photos Released

By 7 Comments

UPDATE: Get your first glimpse of the MV Agusta F3 here.

In what can only be described as a terse press release, MV Agusta has released two teaser photos of its upcoming MV Agusta F3, the three-cylinder supersport bike that Claudio Castiglioni hopes will save his company. Known to be using a three-cylinder motor, it has been previously reported that the MV Agusta F3 would be a 675cc machine, just like the Triumph Daytona 675. However the Italian brand has confirmed that it will be using a 600cc displacement for its street machine, while giving us a glimpse of the bike without its F4 camouflage.

MV Agusta F3: The €9,000 Motorcycle that Castiglioni Hopes Will Save the Company

By 8 Comments

UPDATE: The MV Agusta F3 has officially broken cover.

Italian news site Il Sole 24 Ore sat down with the new owner of MV Agutsa, Claudio Castiglioni, and asked the Italian perhaps the most pertinent question about his new company: what’s next? Striking to the point of things, Castiglioni says much of MV Agusta’s future will depend on the company’s new three-cylinder motorcycles, which the company hopes to sell 10,000 of during the next model year.

Officially now called the MV Agusta F3, Castiglioni was also forthright on some of the details. Already rumored to be a 675cc three-cylinder powered motorcycle, Castiglioni has confirmed this setup along with the fact that there will be at least two price points, with a base and sport model being available.

Is This the MV Agusta “F3” 3-Cylinder Head?

By 4 Comments

We’re going to keep this one definitively filed under “rumors” still, but someone just dropped this photo off in the comments section of our spy shots of the MV Agusta “F3” three-cylinder motorcycle post. Leaving an @mvagusta.it email address, and mvagusta.com as the linked website, the suggestion would seem to be that this is spy shot is of the head off the MV Agusta F3. Totally legit, right?

That is of course until you realize the MV Agusta email address is a fake (we got an instant response from the server that no such email address existed on its domain), and that the user was posting from an IP address in the rain-soaked Netherlands.

We’re fairly confident in our saying that this is in fact not an image of the fabled MV Agusta three-cylinder, and instead just the product of a northern-Dutchman with too much winter on his hands.

But it just goes to show you, you can’t trust everything you read on the internet these days.

By 2 Comments

Sometimes the power of the already insane ZX-10R isn’t enough. And sometimes, after a weekend ride, you look at your liter bike, and wish for a way that a mortal man can have GP bike performance in a stock chassis. If this is your case, then The Two Stroke Shop (TSS), makers of the that we told you about earlier this year, could well have the answer you’re looking for in the shape of their 1100cc two-stroke ZX-10R.
