Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CBR 600 F 2012

The CBR600F remains just under the magic 10,000 mark and certainly doesn't disgrace Honda's mid-range. For a modest 520 euro surcharge until the end of May, it also comes with a tempting additional package consisting of a dark-tinted windshield, painted pillion seat and rear wheel cover, tank cap decor, tank pad and crankcase decor set.

Comfort

acceptable performance

comfortable riding position

padded saddle

C-ABS.

Tachometer difficult to read

lack of gear indicator.

MV Agusta F3 800 2017

Amazingly mature motorbike. The mechanical soundscape sounds very exotic, but the handling was fabulous. The MV manages to do what other "midsize" supersport bikes can't. It has the equipment of the big 1000 combined with easy handling and convertible power. Even when stationary, the F3 is enchanting, and in the saddle you have finally fallen in love.

Flawlessly tuned engine with clean response and good power

great brakes

bike looks ultra-compact, yet acceptable seating position

great chassis makes turning and manoeuvring child's play

timelessly cool look.

Mechanically rough soundscape

Somewhat little space for knees

Dealer network and spare parts supply "shaky".
