Thoughts on a MV Agusta F3?

Looking at getting a weekend/dry day toy and keeping the sv for a commuter, looking for peoples views and experiences on the new mv agusta f3. Dont know alot about them love the look and they sound awesome.

Have a look on mvagusta.net I've had two mv's and should have learnt first time, customer service and parts availability is poor to say the least.
Most have fuelling isues but that's only my opinion I couldn't live with the f4 750 spr or brutale 1078rr.
Don't be sold on looks alone like I was.

You only have to look at so many online reviews, even last week with the new MV's, to see that they STILL have fuelling issues. I've never ridden it and cannot comment on any of the above, except to say this is the one thing that keep coming up whenever someone talks about or reviews any of the newer MV range.

I was chatting to an F3 owner a while ago & his comments were:-

If you want the fastest sportsbike - DON'T buy an F3

If you want the best handling sportsbike - DON'T buy an F3

If you want the most reliable sportsbike - DON'T buy an F3


BUT

If you want the best looking sportsbike that will turn heads everywhere you go & sounds awesome - BUY an F3


Most of us buy bikes with our hearts rather than our heads - so go for it

Get one, such a cool bike!

Then you should replace the stock pipes with an Akra like Gary Johnson had at the TT this year

and they do handle...just like any bike will need a proper setup rather than using out of crate settings.

Fueling..just pop a can on it and get it properly mapped.

Stunning bikes.

That was a open arka pipe, good luck getting away with that for more than 5 miles
