MV Agusta F3 F4 Buyer's Guide

Some information on how to find an MV that has been well kept.

Moto Forza Italia (Unit 34, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TL) feel that MVs sometimes get an unfair reputation from those who think they are expensive and unreliable like a Ferrari is in the car world, or requiring exacting maintenance like old Ducatis (cam belts and dry clutches). According to Martin Westwood the engines are conventional and well put together, as if they were a Honda, with few mechanical flaws and problems. They simply need good looking after like any motorcycle.

The 3 cylinder engine sound may not be for everyone, in which case you may prefer to consider the F4 or the Aprilia RSV4.
