MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800

With regard to MV Agustas new sport touring bike, boss Giovanni Castiglioni says there was no point in copying the BMW GS example.To us, a BMW GS is like a Range Rover. With the new Turismo Veloce 800, we aspired to create a Porsche Panamera. To accomplish this, MV designed a new frame and powered it with the companys familiar 798cc triple, which is controlled by the latest MVICS electronics offering eight levels of traction control and three riding modes. With its trick TFT dash, standard quickshifter, and hard bags (on the Lusso model), the new Turismo Veloce, which has claimed weights of 428 lb. (base) and 456 lb. (Lusso), really looks like a sportbike tailor made for a weekend trip up Californias Highway 1.
