Retro exotica: Michael Neeves rides the new MV Agusta Superveloce 800 | MCN Reviews
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Superveloce 800 is the new retro sportsbike from MV Agusta. Striking, well made and delivering an awesome three-cylinder soundtrack, is it more than just a re-styled F3 800? We sent Neevesy to find out.

What a bike! One of the most beautifully designed I’ve ever seen. Not over the top like some MVs, it’s tastefully done. Thinking of buying one

@Marlon : What did you say ? classiest ? you funny boy. MV agusta put naked pros, titutes with big fake plastic breasts in their advertisements (superveloce 800 and brutale videos on their YT channel). They proved they represent the ugliest side of what can be a man in the way of seeing women. Mediocre guys directing this company. Their bikes look cool but they are full of defects (bad suspensions, etc) and randomly reliable.

Your review truly does justice for this exciting MV Agusta Superveloce 800 ! You have highlighted the most important aspects of this bike. Amazing footage and the sound of heaven! You are so correct that this bike has combined all features for the making of a super sport bike. What sports bike riders or any cycle rider are wanting from their bike: Satisfaction ! Great review !
Never assume stock suspension settings are correct for you. Everyone is different and needs their own.

What a beautiful bike. I do love how well they blended the modern with the retro. I am not a fan of the gold color, it is not horrible but not my thing. Anyhow, what a tastefully done machine! And I think this is the first production sport I have seen with bar end mirrors. Now I know the solution for the useless stock mirrors on my Daytona.
That exhaust! Damn 😍
Wow what a stunning looking motorcycle and it sounds incredible.

Absolutely beautiful
That retro kinda aesthetic is absolutely amazing... I can see why people don't like it but to the right person it's stunningly beautiful... I'm that right person (who, unfortunately cannot afford it)
Been down the MV road twice, owing an F41000R and a Brutale 910s. Won't go back regardless of how beautiful they make the designs.

Neevesy, you certainly have a soft spot for the old GSXR 750.
Still cant fathom why they are hanging onto that ANCIENT switchgear with the awful one button cruise control. Such an expensive bike deserves much better and they did the same with the new Brutale
mix retro i nowych sprzetow ciekawe polaczenie .
Italians are the only nation who can put great engineering with amazing beautiful design. 😍

Viewed in the flesh at my local MV dealers.It seems really small in the flesh although pretty.I wouldnt swap my supersport s for this.Having had Ohlins you never want anything else.Sounds superb.
The wing in the windshield is actually a divergent vortex generator.
Saw this bike on instagram. It looks dope at night...🔥🔥
It will be in my living room, one day
I like it!
Easily one of the most beautiful modern retro bike out. I wish you guys could get your hands on the serie oro model because I think they took too much of that character away with mass produced variant. But how much different does it feel from the F3? I've ridden the new 2020 F3 and it feels better than before, but I just want to know if this bike is nicer to ride in comparison? Great video as always.
@JamchesterBoozle

I have to disagree, the serie oro is beautiful but the essence of this bike is the style and shape, not adding more flashy parts. The desmosedicci back end, the bolt less fairings, retro 70s looks. It’s absolutely amazing

Best looking new sportsbike for some time and by a fair margin.
This bike is beautiful
I fail to understand how Triumph can only get 125bhp from the same configuration engine that's apparently moto2 derived? Then they stick it in a dated looking bike and call it a limited edition special! Shame on you triumph, get back to making grandad's bike. Even a Ducati 848, with admittedly a bit more cc but one cylinder less was making 133bhp a decade ago! I applaud MV for putting a brilliant engine in such a beautiful looking bike. Bravo!

Triumph are using the engine in a naked bike and probably toned it down for more grunt down low. The limited edition was just a marketing stunt. If there was a proper NEW 765 Daytona it would have more than 125 bhp

@@davidvitan3590 agree about the street triple, but the Daytona 765 LE is a moto2-derived engine, it doesn't need low-down torque. They claim that it's because of service intervals but 125bhp really isn't that much for a 800cc triple.

@@richardtomlinson2063 Of course you're right, but as I said, I think the Daytona 765 was a marketing stunt, not really meant for permanent production. I think should Triumph decide to build a brand new Daytona it would have more. But I agree that the MV's engine sounds like a masterpiece

I would definitely adjust a bikes suspension if I were test riding it. To not do so seems a little silly to me.
Sold! 😂❤...
I don't think I've found a better road friendly superbike than last generations S1000RR with the oddball headlights. That was really spot on in just about every way. MV also seems to have a dealership scarcity issue, or have they sussed that out?
Do they do it in black and gold?
Bellissimo!!!!!!!!!!!
What's it like compared to a bog standard F3 800? (apart from more expensive)?
What alpinestars jacket are you wearing? It looks very nice.
Wow what a beautiful bike. In Israel it costs 60,572 GBP (269K NIS). I think I'll buy a poster instead.
How it compares to a Ducati 999s? In thinking trade mine for one of these! Really have to tried
They need to redesign the MV logo. Great bike
does it have a riser bar available? Really want to get one but I'm 5'1 in height. This is my super dream bike!!
More like an art
I want this bike so bad!! Half cafe racer half sportbike

Great review, love the sound it makes and if it's anything close to or better than a gsx-r750(just traded my 2017) I'm sure it's a great ride. Not a fan of the styling myself, that tank strap looks totally horrid.
If you need more than 146 hp on a road bike (and many appear to do so) well good luck to you actually exploiting that power on the public road. Best part of 20 grand for a beautiful modern museum piece that you'd ride on sunny weekends; that's an incredible indulgence but I guess that's the same thinking behind the purchase of old exotic cars.

You had me worried it wouldn’t be Neeves reviewing this when I saw a plain white lid and not his signature one haha! For 18k it would want to be a twice as good as a old GSXR750 which doesn’t seem like it is, let’s hope Suzuki pull their finger out and bring out a GSXR 800 with adjustable clip ons and cross plane crank 😁
Looks beautiful, but I think that I would rather get a Panigale V2 for that money and keep the change.
Probably one of the nicest looking exotic bike you can buy, however for a commoner like me I would stick with a reliable mighty mt10 sp with that kind of money and have some left over to buy other stuff with
