New MV Agusta F3-based Hypermotard? Posted: 18 Jun 2011 10:00 PM PDT

Hi guys, hot on the heels of the MV Agusta F3 release, designer Morton says a third F3-based bike (in addition to the expected naked Brutale variant), styled by an Italian colleague, is in the works.

Asked how it compares to the class-defining Ducati Hypermotard Morton said: “I think the Hypermotard is a great road bike. It’s compact and has a confident, commanding riding position that is great for crazy (Italian) traffic conditions. I think it's one of the most significant bikes to reflect the transition from uncompromising sports bikes to more practical, ‘unthreatening’ two wheeled transport.

“Any bike to bear the MV Agusta badge on the fuel tank the bike has to be exceptional, not just OK. If the values that we see as essential for MV Agusta are appreciated by passionate motorcyclists, then hopefully our bike will find its way to center-stage. It will be a thoroughbred, and in many respects be just as focused and exceptional as the F3, just within a more usable package.”
