Chad heads back to Italy for the launch of the MV Agusta Enduro Veloce, it's now £20,000, is it worth it? #mvagusta #offroad #adventurebike

Love your enthusiasm Chad, after all these years its nice to see someone still excited by their job. Given the price and probable lack of off-roading use by the vast majority of owners surely a 19" front wheel would have made more sense? Wet and cold northern european roads would benefit from a bigger contact patch with the obvious benefit of turn in speed.

@TwoHawksHunting4 ай бұрын
Are all Italian motorcycle unreliable? How about the German motorcycles,i.e., BMW? BMW has had major issues with their shaft drives for over a decade. Then there was that major issue with their telelever front suspension. Do these issues count towards making BMWs less reliable or what? I've always owned Japanese motorcycles myself and I have found them to be utterly reliable. However, I have been looking at the bikes from both Ducati and MV Augusta and they do look very appealing.

As a MV Agusta F3 800 owner and a Triumph 1200 Explorer I can see that this bike is like Range Rover, that can go offroad without making a fool of it self and then cruise to southern Italy with no hassle. A MPV bike for cumuting and then pack it up go for a holiday. Just like my old Land Rover 🙂 It looks like the Triumph might be replaced

There's a recurring theme with reviews of modern adventure motorcycles with 21" wheels, everyone is saying "it doesn't feel or behave like 21" wheels". I am a relatively new rider with very little experience on adventure motorcycles, but maybe it is something that is from older motorcycles?
@peterklop90153 ай бұрын
You’re right. When riding with high speeds, the larger the wheel, the slower the turn in of the bike. There is a massive difference when transitioning from side to side in the twisties. With a slow steering bike, you have to push harder when counter-steering because the bike wants to stay upright. That is one of the appeals of a 21 inch front wheel when riding offroad, through sand for example. However people don’t like this on the road. So they started to change the geometry of these bikes so that it turns easier and faster with a big wheel. However by doing this, defeating one of the purposes of having that larger wheel. You loose some stability offroad. In this sense, the recent bikes are different from older bikes. Other purposes like easier rolling over obstacles and the availability of more aggressive offroad tires stay intact. 21 inch fronts are also narrower than 19 or 17 inch wheels and that has advantages in sand, mud and deep loose gravel, but the latter have a bigger contact patch that provide more grip on wet cold roads for example.

I have mixed feelings about this bike. MV stands (stood?) for Motorcycle Art. One could easily see what that meant. Sculptures on two wheels. With this bike however, I struggle seeing that. It happened what I feared most to see - a KTM-ish version of MV. Look at the exhaust, the display and the overall design.

If somebody said to you, don’t worry about the cost, you can have this MV, or a Multi V4s, or a GS1300, (or something similar of a similar ilk) and if they were all the same price, and all affordable, then which one would you choose?

The critical question for me (I'm an older, experienced rider) is, has MV finally made a solid, reliable bike? Their sports bikes have been very exciting, involving, 'emotional' rides - that hasn't been a problem. However, needing to get repairs done (and sourcing parts!) after less than 10K miles - on a premium-priced vehicle - is just unacceptable! At this point, I can only ride a bike with an upright, 'open' riding position (and I have no interest in bloated 'touring' models) - that makes ADVs my first choice. The problem (or, question) is - when are the European manufacturers going to get their production-processes together?

@pauln68034 ай бұрын
I don't think these are pitched at the everyday rider. MV are still a small concern and reliable or not, parts are less likely to be quickly available than the Japanese or even Triumph and KTM. Soul and emotion in a vehicle is entirely down the the individual rider's perception.

If it’s no good offroad and overpriced for offroad, why not having all the fun on a street-oriented bike instead, then, the veloce or a 19” version, lower, like a mini pikes-peak. A “touring” supermoto… When I look at the price, I’d love to have a MV, but I actually do not want a tourer that makes me a traffic racer. I’m too fast on my Indian Chieftain already, let alone having such a weapon. So for all terrain traveling for non-tarmac that I wouldn’t put my Indian through (it does a lot, well did already with 98tkm since 2019) I’m more in favor of a AT1100, a GS1xx0, even a Guzziv85tt and buy a F3 instead for real road fun.
