Marvellous MV Agusta F3RC

When the opportunity to ride an MV Agusta motorcycle you grab it, regardless of the season or weather. That’s how I found myself riding up to Bury St Edmunds at the end of November, with zero temperatures on the mercury.

My full review will be on here in a few days, on Articles. Before then I can tell you I had a blast, literally. I collected the bike from the lovely people at Krazy Horse in Bury St Edmunds and headed from there towards the Suffolk coast.

The journey involved cross country riding on B roads, which on an early November morning are not the best for riding let alone assessing a superbike like the F3. But it did actually give me the chance to familiarise myself with the bike and its handling. Sue at Krazy Horse had talked me through the TC, Traction Control settings and suggested a high number to enable lots of TC. Very prudent advice as the roads were slick and greasy, made worse by mud and muck from tractors and farm vehicles. The B roads were very twisty so I really tested the MV’s handling which did not disappoint. It performed superbly and I felt completely safe so much so that I could put the power on coming out of the bends.

Smiling but shivering I continued east ……. See the full Road Test in a couple of weeks. Articles.
