MV Agusta delivers a limited run of special F3 machines that replicate the bikes used in the World Supersport by Jules Cluzel and Lorenzo Zanetti. Since these machines come with the sought-after RC badge, standing for Reparto Corse, you should act quickly if you want to get hold of one, as they are built in a very limited number.
Only one hundred 675cc F3RC bikes will be manufactured, while 250 units from the beefier F3 800 RC bikes will be up for grabs at select dealers soon.
Because the RC machines are not exactly your run-off-the-mill bikes, MV Agusta equips them with several aftermarket optional parts that are designed for track use. The list includes anodised aluminium covers that will elegantly go in place of the mirrors, while the clutch and brake levers are manufactured from Ergal and have anti-break joints.
One of the things that make them stand from the crowd even more is the unique race graphics that also include the autographs of the two riders, #16 Cluzel on the right panel and #87 Lorenzo Zanetti on the left one.
A special plate is also supplied with the bikes, and it contains the number and the signature of he MV Agusta CEO Giovanni Castiglioni, certifying the authenticity of each machine. A tricolored dust cover is also in the package.
Both the 657 and the 800 versions are equipped with Bosch 9 Plus Race ABS brakes, the RLM (Rear Wheel Lift-Up Mitigation) system, and EAS that stands for Electronically Assisted Shift - MV Agusta's own quickshifter gearbox.
In the tech department we must also add the 43mm Marzocchi forks, the Sachs rear damper, Nissin masters and Brembo M4.34a monoblock calipers and aluminium wheels shod with Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa tires. No prices were announced yet, but we can expect a premium worth several thousand over the price of the base versions.

Cluzel and Zanetti autographed all the bikes
