2021 MV Agusta F3 Rosso revealed

MV Agusta has updated its F3 Rosso with a Euro 5 (BS6) compliant engine, improved electronics and more.

• The bike is said to have improved power and torque curves

• Minor changes to the clutch for better gear engagement

• MV Agusta has added a 5.5-inch TFT display

Around a year ago, MV Agusta revealed that it was developing a heavily-updated F3 800. At the time, the CEO, Timur Sardarov, also confirmed that the upgraded F3 will get a brand-new set of electronics. 

2021 MV Agusta F3 Rosso: electronics 

MV Agusta has stayed true to its word as the 2021 F3 Rosso now comes equipped with a 5.5-inch TFT display and a new IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) platform. The ABS, now developed by Continental, comes complete with cornering function while the TC traction control can intervene more precisely by considering the bike’s lean angle. In addition to this, the IMU also allows the updated FLC (Front Lift Control) to manage a controlled wheelie rather than prevent it altogether.

The aforementioned TFT display also pairs to the MV Ride App. This application is available on both iOS and Android devices and gives users the ability to share their trip information on social media platforms. More importantly, it enables navigation with turn-by-turn directions. 

2021 MV Agusta F3 Rosso: engine and gearbox

For 2021, the 798cc, three-cylinder engine is now euro 5 (BS6) compliant. Changes to the engine include a reduction in internal friction thanks to a DLC (Diamond-like-Carbon) treatment. Another big change comes in the form of new injectors that offer more injection pressure. MV Agusta has said that it has also made changes to the exhaust to improve the power and torque curves. Power and torque remain quite similar, it now makes 147hp and 88Nm as compared to the 148hp and 88Nm the older motorcycle made.

MV Agusta has said that it has also updated the ECU firmware to improve throttle response. Meanwhile, a new bi-directional radiator has helped with cooling. Lastly, changes to the clutch basket and an updated quickshifter have resulted in “softer and more precise” gearshifts.

2021 MV Agusta F3 Rosso: price and launch details

While it is too early to comment about the price, expect the new F3 to sport a higher price than the older motorcycle's Rs 18 lakh (ex-showroom) price tag. MV Agusta used to be retailed in India via the Kinetic owned MotoRoyale, but that agreement appears to have been terminated around a year ago. At around the same time, Timur Sardarov, stated that the company is looking for a new partner in the Indian market.

10 most expensive bikes on sale in India

This list will evolve as more BS6 big bikes get launched in India, particularly when brands like Indian finally launch their BS6 range. However, as of today, here are the ten most expensive motorcycles currently on sale in India:

10. Ducati Streetfighter V4 S

Price - Rs 22.99 lakh

Ducati’s fire-breathing flagship superbike, the Panigale V4, will soon return to India in BS6 form, but until then, the Bologna brand has treated us to its equally ludicrous naked sibling, the Streetfighter V4. Power comes from the same 1,103cc 90-degree V4 motor, which belts out a slightly lower, but still stratospheric 208hp and 123Nm. In its ‘S’ avatar, the Streetfighter comes loaded with electronically-adjustable Ohlins suspension, an Ohlins steering damper and forged aluminium wheels from Marchesini. All these push the price up to Rs 22.99 lakh, ex-showroom, India, but despite that, it only manages 10th place on this list, which should give you an idea of what’s to come.

 

9. BMW S 1000 RR Pro M Sport

Price - Rs 23.75 lakh

The next bike on this list is BMW’s superbike, the S 1000 RR. Its 999cc inline-four motor gets the German manufacturer’s innovative ShiftCam variable valve timing technology. The end result is a mammoth 207hp and 113Nm, powering a bike that weighs just 193.5kg (kerb). That weight figure belongs to the Pro M Sport variant of the S 1000 RR, which comes with goodies like carbon wheels, a lighter lithium-ion battery and a special seat unit. It also gets electronically adjustable suspension, cruise control, and thanks to an IMU, lean-sensitive traction control and ABS. We had a chance to jump on board this machine, so click here to find out how well all that tech comes together.

 

8. BMW R 18 Classic

Price - Rs 24.00 lakh

We usually associate BMW with adventure bikes and big tourers, and more recently, superbikes. But last year the Bavarian brand tried its hand at a big twin-cylinder cruiser, in the form of the imposing R 18. Further upping the ante is its ‘Classic’ variant, which gets a 16-inch front wheel, large windshield, auxiliary lights, a pillion seat, saddle bags and neat slash-cut exhaust pipes. At the heart of the matter is a sonorous giant - the 1,802cc boxer-twin belting out 91hp and 158Nm. Well, we say belting out, but drive is actually sent to the rear wheel via a traditional BMW shaft-drive system. You can check out our impressions of BMW’s monstrous cruiser right here.

 

7. Harley-Davidson Electra Glide

Price - Rs 24.99 lakh

The brand that BMW is targeting with its R 18 is Harley-Davidson, to whom the next bike on this list belongs. The Electra Glide Standard is the second-most affordable motorcycle in Harley’s touring range, but don’t mistake that as meaning that it’s basic. This single-seater behemoth is powered by a thumping great 1,746cc V-twin rated at 150Nm, and gets luxuries like cruise control. The Electra’s look is characterised by its batwing fairing, stylish saddlebags and swooping tail section. There’s also a healthy dose of chrome thrown in, not least of all on the handsome twin exhaust pipes.

6. Kawasaki Z H2 SE

Price - Rs 25.90 lakh

Kawasaki’s naturally-aspirated litre-class bikes are rather affordable, but if you want to buy into its supercharged H2 range then your entry point is the Z H2 hypernaked streetfighter. At ‘only’ 200hp, it’s actually down on power to the Streetfighter V4. But the 137Nm torque figure is absolutely monstrous, and thanks to the supercharger, most of it is available through the meat of the rev range. You get goodies like cruise control and a TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity, and on this top-spec SE version, you’re also treated to electronic Showa Skyhook suspension and range-topping Brembo Stylema calipers.

 

5. Harley-Davidson Road King

Price - Rs 26.99 lakh

Sliding a little further up Harley's touring range, we arrive at the aptly named Road King. It's powered by the same 1,746cc V-twin motor as the Electra Glide above, but the 'King’ offers a whole host of electronic aids under Harley's Reflex Defensive Rider Systems (RDRS) banner. These include cornering ABS and traction control, electronic linked brakes, engine braking control, hill-hold control and a tyre pressure monitoring system.

 

4. Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special

Price - Rs 31.99 lakh

Kitted out with Harley’s flagship Milwaukee-Eight 114 motor displacing a whopping 1,868cc, the Street Glide Special makes you the master of 163Nm of torque at the twist of your wrist. Just as well, then, that it packs in the RDRS electronic aids as standard. For the price, Harley is also gracious enough to throw in a Bluetooth-enabled infotainment system controlled via a 6.5-inch colour TFT screen.

 

3. Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special

Price - Rs 34.99 lakh

In the absence of the CVO, the Road Glide Special is the pinnacle of Harley-Davidson’s lineup in India, and carries a price tag to suit that position. Like the more affordable Street Glide, the Road Glide Special also packs in a Milwaukee-Eight 114 motor that’s reigned in by the RDRS electronics. Likewise, the infotainment system is also the same. The difference comes from the Road Glide’s frame-mounted fairing, compared to the Street Glide’s fork-mounted unit. The feeling of luxury aboard these bikes is further enhanced by keyless operation, which also extends to the saddlebags - one touch is all it takes to lock and unlock them.

 

2. BMW M 1000 RR

Price - Rs 42 lakh to 45 lakh

With its eye-watering price tag, carbon-fibre winglets, a sharper chassis and even more power, the BMW M 1000 RR makes the S 1000 RR seem positively bourgeois, even though the former is based on the latter. Power is up by5hp to 212hp and the wings produce a claimed 16.3kg at 299kph. For an extra Rs 3 lakh, the Competition variant throws in a lighter swingarm, an M carbon parts package and an M milled parts package, as well as BMW's innovative new DLC-coated maintenance-free chain.

 

1. 2019 Kawasaki Ninja H2R

Price - Rs 79.90 lakh

The maddest bike in the H2 stable is also the most expensive bike on sale in India, and by a humongous margin. The numbers on the H2R are almost beyond belief – a stratospheric 326hp (with Ram Air) and 165Nm of torque – all from just a 998cc supercharged engine. Fortunately (or unfortunately), the H2R isn’t a street-legal motorcycle so buyers can use it only at the track. Over its lifetime, the Ninja H2R has been updated with Brembo Stylema brakes, a special self-healing paint job and a new supercharged emblem on the engine casing.
