After more than a few years in the wilderness, MV Agusta is making a concerted push back into North America under the guise of Russian CEO, Timur Sardarov.
From the shores of the staggeringly beautiful Lake Varese in Northern Italy, under Sardarov’s watch MV Agusta has renewed vigor and engineering prowess that will no doubt be welcome news to the 37 dealers currently serving the United States market.
Focusing on a dizzying array of limited edition specials (so many I’ve lost count, and so many they may indeed stop becoming special) to prop up the bottom line, MV Agusta is at least back in the black and under Sardarov has restored some much-needed credibility on the world stage.
A slew of new MV Agusta models have come and will continue to do so in the near future, but none have caused quite the stir of the Superveloce 800.
Unveiled in stunning Serie Oro form at the 2018 EICMA Show in Milan, the base (read: cheaper) Superveloce has finally made it to North American shores and is as much a head-turner as it looks on paper.
Resplendent in MV Agusta silver and red with a beautiful gold tubular steel chassis and gold wheels (there’s also a black version with gold wheels), the $20,998 MSRP Superveloce is a firm doff of the cap to the marque’s own demi-god Giacomo Agostini and the machines on which he used to dominate 1960’s grand prix racing. However, the Superveloce retains all the modern technology and traits that have been a cornerstone in the brand’s resurgence.
