Mv Agusta F3 800
The Mv Agusta F3 800 has a top speed of 240 km/h, produces 148 hp and weighs 173 kg. Motoryk rates it 8/10.
The MV Agusta F3 800 was introduced in 2013 as an evolution of the F3 675, featuring a larger 798cc inline three-cylinder engine to compete more directly in the supersport class. It became notable for its exotic Italian styling, advanced electronics package, and exceptional handling characteristics that drew comparisons to MV Agusta's historic racing pedigree. The F3 800 remained in production through the mid-2020s with various special editions including the AGO and RC variants, cementing its status as one of the most visually and dynamically distinctive motorcycles in its class.

What Buyers Should Know
Watch the Cooling System
The F3 800 is known for running hot in slow traffic, and some owners report coolant overflow issues. Always check the coolant reservoir and radiator condition on any used example.
Strong Resale Retention
The F3 800 holds its value better than most Italian sportbikes due to its limited production numbers and cult following. Low-mileage examples in good condition command a premium on the used market.
Triple-Cylinder Advantage
Its 798cc inline-three engine produces around 148hp and delivers a unique powerband that blends V-twin torque with inline-four top-end punch. This engine configuration is rare in the sportbike segment and a major selling point.

Used Buyer Review
"A flawed masterpiece worth buying only if you're financially prepared."
$7,500-$11,500 usedThe F3 800 is genuinely one of the best-sounding, best-looking bikes ever made, and that triple engine is an absolute gem — creamy midrange with a top-end shriek that'll make you grin every single time. Handling is razor-sharp, the chassis communicates beautifully, and you'll feel like a proper factory rider on a Sunday morning B-road blast. This thing is a proper motorcycle in the truest sense. Here's the honest part though: MV Agusta's reliability record on these is patchy at best. Electrical gremlins are genuinely common, the throttle-by-wire can throw fits, and service intervals are expensive. Budget realistically — £500-£800 a year minimum in maintenance even if nothing breaks. Check the service history obsessively, look for any botched DIY work, and walk away from anything with ambiguous ownership gaps. A well-maintained example from a fastidious previous owner is a treasure. A neglected one is a money pit with gorgeous bodywork.
