Mv Agusta Stradale 800 Review

Used Buyer Review

The Stradale 800 is genuinely one of the most beautiful motorcycles ever bolted together, and that triple engine is an absolute riot — urgent, musical, and properly fast in the midrange. MV's Euro adventure-naked mashup never sold in huge numbers, which actually works in your favour on the used market. You can pick one up for sensible money now, and the riding experience punches well above that price point. The 798cc inline-three pulls cleanly from low revs and screams happily to the redline in a way most parallel twins simply cannot match. Here's the honest bit though: parts availability is genuinely patchy, dealer networks are thin on the ground, and when something breaks — and something will eventually break — you'll feel it in your wallet. These bikes weren't built to Japanese reliability standards. Budget a contingency fund. Critically, inspect the electronics thoroughly on any used example; the early Stradale had gremlins with the traction control system and switchgear quality was never MV's strong suit. Service history is non-negotiable here.
