The Italian motorcycle manufacturer MV Agusta unveiled four bikes at EICMA this year. Two of those included the 2015 Turismo Veloce 800 and the Lusso version of the same model, which are great touring bikes for any motorcycle enthusiast looking for something a bit classy.
Both bikes have a new ‘Chassis Stability Control’ feature that helps maintain balance on rough roads. It uses a semi-active suppression system and Sachs shock absorbers to keep the ride at a smooth level the entire time.
The Motor & Vehicle Integrated Control System (MVICS) has been upgraded to version 2.0 with this release. This manages the engine with power modes and precisely measures injection timing and the quantity of fuel continuously at any given time. A GPS navigator has been integrated with a 5” color TFT display, and it comes with a dedicated data management app.
