I wouldnt be concerned with working on it, but given MV's instability, the possible lack of parts due to a bankruptcy or restructuring is always on my mind more with than most of the other players. Just because marzocchi made the suspension doesnt necessarily mean it will be available if MV stops selling it.
I bought the first F3 I could find and at that time I gave it a 50-50 chance that the company would go under the following week, I am very impressed they are still around and have even expanded their bike line. But then I also have owned Montesa motorcycles since 1976 (one of less than 400 made worldwide) and weird bikes like a Scorpa, so unusual brands don't scare me much. MV Agusta has been around since 1945 and the F3 is in what, its 7th. year of production? It's not a rare bike.
If you love it... buy it. Call the dealer, have them prepare the bike, take the bus to Sudbury, have the dealer pick you up then ride her home!
. I just made the offer of $6300 plus tax ship to my house.
You don't have to rev the engine on takeoff, just feed it some clutch and then roll on the throttle to accelerate at any rate you like, if you come on strong the front wheel will loft in pretty much any gear so exercise some throttle control until you get accustom to the power. Rear suspension will probably be way stiff compared to anything you've ridden before. Brakes and tires are awesome even in wet or on gravel, you will like that. As I said, they are hot blooded and like lots of forward motion to stay cool. Do not adjust the chain without a torque wrench and torque to exactly the force specified. Fuel up frequently. Ride awesome
Congratulations
Just received my renewal for my 2013 MV F3 675, is $861
in theory that is a great rate, yippee :| I feel so safe now and financially compelled to ride more to get my money worth
