MV Agusta F3 Serie Oro
MV Agusta has revealed that its new 675 cc, three-cylinder F3 will cost €11,990 in Italy. That’s around £10,500 or US$17,000 at current exchange rates.
Sales are due to begin before the end of 2012 but, in keeping with a now established MV Agusta custom, production of the standard spec bike is going to be preceded by a Serie Oro (Gold Series) version.
Just 200 examples of the Serie Oro will be built and, although a price has yet to be revealed, rumours suggest it could be double that of the stock F3.
As would be expected, the Serie Oro model has plenty of unique features that go some way to justifying the extra outlay.
Technical improvements include a Brembo brake system with radial-mounted Monobloc calipers and racing discs. The suspension is upgraded to fully adjustable Öhlins upside-down forks and a TTX shock, plus a steering damper is fitted. To help those new components perform to their full potential, the frame is TIG welded for increased stiffness.
However, the Serie Oro treatment also focuses on enhancing the bike’s visual appeal. It comes in MV Agusta’s signature red and silver paintjob, which contrasts nicely with the gold-coloured frame, swing arm, wheels and frame plates.
There’s also lots of carbon fibre, with the mud guards, fairing lowers and exhaust outlets among the components that have been made out of the stuff. The effect is completed by the leather and alcantara seat, and a gold plaque that records the build number.
