The 675-cc inline triple is good for a claimed 140 horsepower. That, according to the guys at Hell For Leather, makes it the second most-powerful engine in its class behind the Ducati 848 Evo. Top-shelf hardware includes Marzocchi fork, Sachs shock, Brembo brakes, yada yada. Two cool bits of tech, both first in the class, include traction control and a counter-rotating crankshaft to minimize vibrations.

The styling nicely updates that of the F4, which is among the most beautiful motorcycles ever.

Anything this cool isn’t cheap, and the F3 is no exception. Look for a sticker price of €11,500, which comes to $15,970.

MV Agusta says the F3 is more compact than any other bike in its class. The styling nicely updates Massimo Tamburini’s work on the venerable F4.

Yes, it’s got three tailpipes. Power comes from a 675-cc inline triple good for a claimed 140 horsepower. Why a triple? In homage to MV’s racing history. Of the 37 MV Agusta motorcycles to have won world championships, 10 were powered by three-cylinder engines. MV says the design offers excellent power from an engine that is lighter and narrower than a four-cylinder.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but we think most people would agree the F3 is a stunner.
