Mv Agusta Turismo Veloce 800 Lusso Review
"Breathtaking machine, but only buy one with spotless history."
Used Buyer Review
The Turismo Veloce 800 Lusso is genuinely one of the most beautiful motorcycles ever bolted together, and that triple engine is an absolute gem — silky, characterful, and surprisingly tractable for touring duties. The Sachs semi-active suspension on the Lusso trim genuinely works, and the electronics package is thoughtful rather than intrusive. Riding one feels special in a way a Multistrada simply doesn't. But here's the honest truth: these bikes are expensive to own. Budget for annual dealer servicing because MV's service intervals are shorter than competitors, and parts pricing will make your eyes water. The infotainment system is frustratingly laggy, the fuel range is embarrassingly short at around 130 miles, and early 2017-2018 examples had throttle-by-wire glitches that needed software updates. Buy one with full service history or walk away immediately — there are no shortcuts here. Find a clean 2019 onward example with dealer stamps and you'll own something genuinely extraordinary. Ignore that advice and you'll own a very expensive problem.
