MV AGUSTA F3 'SOLAR BEAM' SET FOR PRODUCTION
T
he gorgeous MV Agusta F3 "Solar Beam" will become
a fully-fledged production bike this year, said MV Agusta
President Giovanni Castiglioni.
The Solar Beam bike was originally shown to the motor-
cycle press at last year's EICMA Show in Milan, painted in
the same yellow color scheme as parent company Mercedes
AMG's GT sportscar.
Now it appears the Solar Beam will form one of six new
machines for 2016 – three sport bikes and three nakedbikes.
These include the updated Brutale 675 and Dragster 800
and the new Brutale 800. MV is also rumored to be produc-
ing an all-new Superbike, spawn from its development work
with Leon Camier in WorldSBK.
No word yet on if the Solar Beam will make it to the U.S.CN
Beautiful, isn't it? The F3 'Solar Beam' is
certainly one we'd like in the CN shed.
A
MA Pro Flat Tracker Bryan Smith had

put Ryan Villopoto, Jeremy McGrath and
Nick Wey on a flat track course? Kawa-
saki decided to find out.
