Review

The 2014 MV Agusta F3 800 is a middleweight sportbike that builds upon the foundation laid by the F3 675, offering a significant boost in power and torque. This Italian machine was designed to compete directly with other high-performance middleweights like the Ducati 848 and Suzuki GSX-R750, offering a unique three-cylinder alternative in a market often dominated by inline-fours and twins. It aimed to deliver a more visceral and engaging experience than its rivals.

At the heart of the 2014 F3 800 lies a potent 798.0 ccm three-cylinder engine. This powerplant produces a maximum power output of 148.0 HP (108.0 kW) at a screaming 13000 RPM. The torque figures are equally impressive, with 88.0 Nm (9.0 kgf-m or 64.9 ft.lbs) available at 10600 RPM. This translates to strong acceleration and a broad powerband. The motorcycle's dry weight is a svelte 173.0 kg, contributing to its agile handling and impressive power-to-weight ratio. All of this culminates in a claimed top speed of 269.0 km/h (167.1 mph). Fuel capacity is 16.50 litres, or 4.36 US gallons.

The F3 800 provides a riding experience characterized by its aggressive, track-focused ergonomics. Rearset pegs and a low handlebar position place the rider in a committed stance, ideal for carving through corners. The seat height is 812 mm, or approximately 32.0 inches, which may be challenging for shorter riders. The chassis provides sharp handling, though some riders might find the ride firm, reflecting its sporting intentions.

The 2014 MV Agusta F3 800 is targeted towards experienced riders who appreciate Italian design and are seeking a high-performance middleweight sportbike with a unique character. It's a motorcycle for those who value exclusivity and are willing to accept some compromises in comfort for the sake of performance and style. It's a machine that rewards skilled riders with an engaging and memorable experience on both the track and twisty roads.
