MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800
2014
2014
The 2014 MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800 marked MV Agusta's entry into the sport-touring segment. This model aimed to bring Italian flair and performance to a category typically dominated by more practical, but often less visually striking, machines. It sought to appeal to riders looking for something different than the established players, such as the Ducati Multistrada 1200 or the BMW S1000XR.
At the heart of the Turismo Veloce 800 lies its signature inline-three-cylinder engine, displacing 798.0 ccm (48.69 cubic inches). This powerplant produces a peak torque of 84.0 Nm (8.6 kgf-m or 62.0 ft.lbs) at 8600 RPM, contributing to strong mid-range acceleration and confident overtaking. The motorcycle's claimed top speed is 240.0 km/h (149.1 mph), placing it firmly in the performance-oriented sport-touring category. Despite its sporting intentions, MV Agusta managed to keep the weight relatively low at 194.0 kg (427.7 pounds) dry, enhancing agility and handling.
The riding position on the Turismo Veloce 800 is more upright than some of MV Agusta's sportier models, but still offers a connection to the road. The seat height, at 870 mm (34.3 inches) on its lowest setting (if adjustable), might be a consideration for shorter riders. The overall design prioritizes long-distance comfort without sacrificing the engaging riding experience expected from the brand. It handles twisty roads with poise, while remaining stable and composed on longer journeys.
The 2014 MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800 targets riders who appreciate Italian design and are willing to trade some practicality for a more unique and emotive riding experience. It's for those who want a motorcycle that's capable of covering miles but also offers a sporting character. It is a motorcycle that prioritizes style and a distinct engine sound over purely utilitarian considerations.
