With race replica graphics as a tribute to World Supersport victories of Jules Cluzel and Lorenzo Zanetti, the new limited edition MV Agusta F3 RC, available in either 675 cc or 800 cc, is another breathtakingly beautiful rendition from the Italian manufacturer. The details are in the press release below, but of note are the impressive claimed peak horsepower for each displacement (128 hp for the 675 and 148 hp for the 800). Here is the press release from MV Agusta:
Varese, October 11th 2016 – Asphalt, curbing and gravel traps. Braking, acceleration and braking again. Straights, chicanes. Curves. Grandstands and pits. MV Agusta was born on the track. Its story has been inscribed on most famous racing tracks in the World, since the dawn of the most glorious motorcycle brand in the history of motorcycling.
RC doesn’t simply means Reparto Corse. RC means extreme attention to technical development, both in terms of design and function. It means direct connection to the riders, achieving perfection from track to track. RC also means attention to detail, because under race conditions each component is crucial and decisive. RC stands for absolute performance: a way of thinking known only by those who live to race. RC is the direct descendant of the racing experience brought to the road, crafted for the most demanding riders.
Offered in two displacements, the F3 RC is the essence of racing. The perfect balance of technology and design, in a very limited production run, consisting of 350 works of art. The incredibly lightweight and compact three-cylinder engine has been further refined and optimized to achieve maximum performance obtaining peak power and torque for both track and road use.
F3 675 RC produces 128 hp (94.2 kW) at 14400 rpm and 71 Nm (7.24 kgm) of peak torque at 10900 rpm; The F3 800 reaches even further extremes, producing 148 hp (108.8 kW) at 13000 rpm and 88 Nm (8.97 kgm) of peak torque at 10600 rpm. The advanced MVICS electronic platform (Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System) allows the rider to effectively manage the performance utilizing the Ride-by-Wire system together with the available multimaps (three predefined maps and one fully customizable map) together with 8 levels of traction control.

The frame is a composite structure consisting of a lightweight front steel trellis coupled to the aluminum alloy side plates that act as the fulcrum for the iconic single sided swingarm. The suspension, Sachs mono-shock and Marzocchi front forks, have been tuned to keep the chassis in composure at the limit without sacrificing the nimble handling. The high ratio of swingarm length to the wheelbase (576.5/1380 mm) ensures maximum traction and perfect weight distribution.
The racing DNA of the RC model is evident at first glance.

Unfortunately another beauty that most won’t be able to afford, and most probably won’t even be able to find. MV dealers are so few and far between.
Beautiful lust objects like these aren’t built because the world ‘needs’ them, nor are they built with the expectation of breaking any sales records. Thanks MV for creating something with this kind of attention to detail and excellence.
Just what the world needs! Another rodneyroadracer! MV sales will hit all time highs with this one, by Jove – like maybe as high as 26 to 27.
This paint would look fine on a Honda, but I think it is a little too busy for this MV. It really detracts from the MV’s beautiful lines.
re: “This paint would look fine on a Honda”
funny you should mention Honda, for i believe the styling update Big Red gave to the Blade was partially inspired by the F3 Agusta. i didn’t mention it over in that thread but it jumped out right away seeing the first pictures here at MD. it became even more obvious when i later saw the Blade concept sketch out on the net. it’s out there, look around for it and check it out. there’s definitely worse brands Honda can take their styling cues from than MV.
All MV’s are limited. Nobody buys those.
I will need to build a custom carbon-fiber ramp to my living room!
Yep, it would look great in a living room and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
+1
a LOT better looking than the last MV they trotted out.

That’s really pretty. That single sided swingarm gets me every time.
*THAT* is how you do race-paint.
If I can’t really afford a Ducati SuperSport, I *really* can’t afford an MV Augusta. I wonder how cramped these are compared to a Brutale.
Too bad it doesn’t have a belt drive.
Absolutely. Nothing says “thoroughbred Italian race machine” like a belt drive.
And Cruise Control, I simply won’t buy a bike without it
“Where’s the beak?”
Looks like it is time to sell another child.
Seriously, the want is high for the 675 version.
Drool.
