The good news first. Motoroyale by Kinetic, the exclusive distributor of MV Agusta in India, has launched the MV Agusta F3 RC superbike in India. The bad news is that only six are to be available in India. And it's got a Bata-style price, albeit a high one at Rs 21.99 lakh.

The F3 RC (Reparto Corse) is a three-cylinder machine that generates a whopping 153bhp. It comes with an SC Project exhaust silencer in titanium and carbon, a power unit for SC, an exhaust silencer carryover (with special mapping and traction control for the racing mode), anodised aluminum mirror caps kit, billet aluminium brake/clutch levers, and a billet aluminium foot peg kit.

Other highlights include fibreglass rear seat cover, a sport license plate holder, a rear paddock stand and a limited edition certificate of origin. 

Ajinkya Firodia, managing director of Motoroyale Kinetic said, “As India’s only multi-brand superbike company, we are proud to be associated with MV Augusta, and offer this limited edition to Indian superbike aficionados. The F3 RC is the racing track version of the F3.”

Motoroyale by Kinetic is the exclusive distributor of MV Agusta, Norton, SWM, FB Mondial and Hyosung superbikes in India. The company currently has multi-brand showrooms in Mumbai, Thane, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore and Kochi. Motoroyale plans to open other showrooms in Delhi, Indore, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Kolkata and other key markets in India.
