If you asked what I thought about MV Agusta around 2010, I?d quickly respond: Beautiful Italian lines and attitudes but priced for the very few.

Then, in 2012, MV introduced the F3 sportbike, offering the inline-Triple platform in relatively affordable 675 and 800 versions. The 675 performed decently for its short time in World Supersport from 2013-2020, taking five 3rd-place finishes and one runner-up.

The F3s were followed by other models over the years, including the Dragster naked, Turismo Veloce sport-tourer, Superveloce neo-classic sportbike, the Rush hyper naked, and updated Brutale nakeds, among other special editions.
