Conclusion - what sticks

Just while writing, I notice that I am not able to put the driving feeling of the test on paper. Sorry, but if you want to experience what MV feels like, you probably have to sit up yourself. In any case, the F3 RR is an extreme bike in every respect and not for everyone. If you are interested in exclusive super sports cars, you should definitely take a test drive and form your own opinion.
 
We kindly received the test machine from Bergmann & Söhne in Hamburg. Here she stands as a demonstrator and who dares: TEST DRIVE!
