Built around MV Agusta's sport motorcycle platform, the 2016 MV Agusta F3 800 pairs a 798 cc (48.7 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 148 HP (108 kW) at 13,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 88 Nm (64.9 lb-ft) at 10,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 185.5 HP per liter and a 2,400 rpm working window between peak torque (10,600 rpm) and peak power (13,000 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the F3 800 measures 173 kg (381 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.86 HP/kg (1.17 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,380 mm (54.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 16.5-liter (4.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 269 km/h (167 mph).
