Mv Agusta Superveloce 800
The Mv Agusta Superveloce 800 has a top speed of ~240 km/h, produces 147 hp and weighs 173 kg. Motoryk rates it 8/10.
The MV Agusta Superveloce 800 was introduced as a concept at EICMA 2018 and entered production in 2020, reviving the iconic Superveloce name from MV Agusta's golden racing era of the 1950s–70s. It is built around the proven 798cc inline-three engine from the F3 800 platform, wrapped in stunning retro-inspired bodywork designed by Adrian Morton, blending classic café racer aesthetics with modern performance. The limited-edition Superveloce Serie Oro (75 units) preceded the standard model, and the lineup expanded with the Superveloce S variant featuring Öhlins suspension, making it one of the most visually celebrated neo-retro motorcycles of its era.

What Buyers Should Know
Electrical Gremlins Exist
Early Superveloce 800 models are known for occasional ECU and electrical glitches, including erratic throttle-by-wire behavior. Always verify the latest firmware update has been applied before purchasing.
Strong Collector Resale
The limited-edition Serie Oro variant holds value exceptionally well due to its production cap of 311 units worldwide. Standard models also retain value better than average thanks to MV Agusta's boutique brand appeal.
High Maintenance Costs
The triple-cylinder engine requires valve clearance checks every 7,500 miles, and dealer service costs are significantly higher than Japanese competitors. Budget for premium maintenance or find a specialist independent mechanic familiar with MV Agusta.
Generations & Specs by Year
Initial production launch with 798cc triple, retro Superleggera-inspired bodywork, 147hp, limited and standard variants.

Used Buyer Review
"Magnificent, temperamental Italian art that rewards patient, prepared owners."
$14,000-$19,000 usedLook, the Superveloce 800 is genuinely one of the most beautiful motorcycles ever bolted together, and that triple sings like nothing else in this displacement class. If you're buying used, budget an extra $1,500-2,000 immediately for the 12,000-mile service — it's expensive and non-negotiable. Check the throttle-by-wire response carefully; early bikes had some jerky low-speed fueling that later software updates addressed, so verify the ECU has been flashed by an authorised dealer. The ergonomics are surprisingly liveable for a retro-sport machine, but the heat management is genuinely terrible in traffic. Your right leg will cook. That's not a dealbreaker but it's a real thing nobody warns you about. Also inspect the exhaust headers for bluing and check the frame sliders — these get dropped in car parks more than any other bike I've seen, purely because owners panic about the price tag. Find a dealer-serviced example with full history and you've got something truly special. Buy a neglected one and you've bought yourself a very expensive project with Italian complexity.
