When it comes to understanding motorcycles, Italians perhaps do it better than any other nation. So when attendees at last month’s EICMA show in Milan were polled to find the “Most Beautiful Bike,” MV Agusta’s F3 was the easy winner, pulling in an extra 18 percentage points over the runner-up Ducati Diavel.
It only takes a short glance at the F3 to realize it’s something special. Its chiseled styling makes for an immediately positive first impression, which is then underlined by a sexy single-sided swingarm and one of the coolest exhaust systems ever, a triple-pipe shorty outlet that is a symphony of design.
Symphonic, too, should be the sound of the 675cc three-cylinder engine at full song. We’re huge fans of Triumph’s 675 Triple, both its sound and character, so we’ve got some high expectations for MV’s version.
“I think the Triumph is such an excellent performer, and so a bike of the same displacement and intent from legendary maker MV Agusta could have as much or more potential as the Triumph,” Pete comments. “Bonus to the forthcoming F3 is MV’s promise of traction control for the sleek-looking Italian Triple.”
