VOL. 52 ISSUE 19 MAY 12, 2015 P57 Now you can have two MVs— maybe a four-cylinder F4 RR for sport riding, and a Turismo Veloce or Stradale three-cylinder 800 for everyday use. Now you have a choice." However, it's understood that the main reason the bike has taken two years to reach produc- tion after it was first displayed at Milan 2013 is that there was a change in direction quite late in its development, after Castiglioni realized it was too highly focused on aggressive performance, and not enough on rideability and practicality. Originally developed as a concept around MV's current F4 four-cylinder platform before being adapted to the 800cc version of the company's trade- mark three-cylinder motor (an F4 version will come in due course, after MV's four-cylinder model range is extensively revamped around an all-new engine due next year) the Turismo Veloce houses a comprehensively rede- veloped version of the compact Tre Pistoni motor measuring 79 x 54.3 mm for a capacity of 798cc.
