A
fter more than a few
years in the wilderness,
MV Agusta is making a
concerted push back into North
America under the guise of Rus-
sian CEO, Timur Sardarov.
From the shores of the stag-
geringly beautiful Lake Varese in
Northern Italy, under Sardarov's
watch MV Agusta has renewed
vigor and engineering prowess
that will no doubt be welcome
news to the 37 dealers cur-
rently serving the United States
market.
Focusing on a dizzying array of
limited-edition specials (so many
I've lost count, and so many
they may indeed stop becoming
special) to prop up the bottom
line, MV Agusta is at least back
in the black and under Sardarov
has restored some much-needed
credibility on the world stage.
A slew of new MV Agusta mod-
els have come and will continue
to do so in the near future, but
none have caused quite the stir
of the Superveloce 800.
Unveiled in stunning Serie Oro
form at the 2018 EICMA Show in
Milan, the base (read: cheaper)
Superveloce has finally made it
to North American shores and is
as much a head-turner as it looks
on paper.

There's only one motorcycle company
that could produce a bike looking like the
Superveloce 800 and get away with it
