September 2011 issue of Roadracing World & Motorcyle Technology magazine and a good article about MV Agusta reads as follows...
MV Agusta has not released any details of nor specifications for its new, 2012-model middleweight sportbike, the F3 Triple, but the company has announced that it will have a suggested retail price of 11,990 Euros, or just under $17,000 at mid-July exchange rates. But before those units are delivered later this year, the Italian company plans to produce a limited run of special F3s. The Serie Oro F3 will be immediately identifiable with a glod-colored frame, swingarm and forged aluminim wheels; a special red and silver paint job on the bodywork; a gold finish on the air intake screens; a gold-colored D.I.D. chain; a polished clutch cover and frame plates; a billet alternator cover; seats covered with hand-stitched leather and alcantara; and a numbered gold plaque on the upper triple clamp signifying the machine as a Serie Ora. Many upgraded mechanical parts are also exclusive to the Serie Oro version, including Brembo Monoblock foru-piston radial front calipers and Brembo racing front brake rotors; Ohlins forks and TTX shock; an Ohlins steering damper; and adjustable billet aluminum foot controls. The Serie Ora also comes with a generous amount of carbon-fiber accessories, including front and rear fenders, dashboard cover, airbox side and intake covers, fairing inserts, upper and lower chain guards, swingarm protector cover, countershaft sprocket cover, fairing lower and stacked exhaust outlets.
MV Agusta has signed a letter of intent naming Lifan Industry Co, Ltd., as the official distributer for the brand in China. Distribution is expected to begin by the end of the year, and MV Agusta hopes to have a dealer network established in all the "principal Chinese cities" by the end of 2013. "Distributing the MV models through a prestigious society like Lifan ensures that we will enter into this very important market with a very strong commercial partner at our side, respecting the Chinese culture, mentality and laws," Umberto Uccelli, Commercial Director of MV Agusta, was quoted as saying in a press release issued by MV Agusta.
