The Story
The MV Agusta F3 is what happens when a tiny Italian motorcycle company decides to put F1 engineering into a street bike. The 798cc inline-three has a counter-rotating crankshaft — the same technology Formula 1 engines use to reduce gyroscopic forces and make the bike turn faster. Almost no other bike on the market has this.
Every F3 is hand-assembled in Schiranna, Italy. The frame is a steel trellis that doubles as the engine mount, and the swingarm is single-sided so you can see the rear wheel. It looks like sculpture. It rides like a scalpel.
This particular one: 1,500 miles from new. Pearl white over a red trellis frame — the iconic livery. Original Brembo brakes, original tires, original everything. WA-titled. Both keys. Service records on file. The previous owner kept it indoors and rode it on dry days only.
If you're looking for a Ducati or an R1, look at this instead. It's rarer, it sounds better, and it'll appreciate before either of those will. Italian sport bikes from this era are starting to be collected — F3s especially.
