IN THE WIND P44 MV Agusta Superveloce 800 Will Go Into Production T he delectable MV Agusta Su- perveloce 800 that wowed everyone at the 2018 EICMA Show in Milan will go into pro- duction for the 2020 model year, MV Agusta confirms. The Superveloce draws on MV Agusta's rich racing heritage from the 1960s and early 70s, where it ruled the GP world with an iron fist until the two-stroke machines eventually took control of the racing landscape. Styling is thus a modern twist of the beautiful race bikes that legends like Giacomo Agostini and Phil Read rode to world championships. The machine utilizes the F3 800 as its base, with the Superveloce using the same motor, chassis and brakes. However, they've mapped in a much fatter midrange, and SC Project has created a 3-1-3 exhaust, just like those of Read and Ago. LED lights are flanked by carbon-fiber bodywork and a new TFT dash. CN Inside MotoAmerica: COTA—As Seen on NBCSN M otoAmerica is pushing hard this year to get the show in front of new viewers, and part of this ap- proach is the new Inside MotoAmeri- ca platform.
