MV Agusta Turismo Veloce: engine, trims and what to check
MV Agusta Turismo Veloce — produced since 2014, this sport-touring motorcycle features a three-cylinder 800 cm³ engine. We look at the trims, engine and what to check when buying used.
Turismo Veloce in brief
Turismo Veloce — an Italian sport-touring motorcycle built around MV Agusta’s three-cylinder technology. It combines sportiness with touring comfort, and its design is striking and distinctive.
On the used market, it’s sought after for its character and looks, but it’s crucial to thoroughly check the technical condition and service history.
Trims
The first trim is the Turismo Veloce 800, followed by the Lusso with more equipment, including an electronically adjustable suspension. Updated trims received newer electronics and met stricter emissions standards.
As equipment depends on the year and trim, check the exact specification in the documents.
Engine and gearbox
The Turismo Veloce is powered by an approximately 800 cm³ three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, producing around 110 hp. The engine is derived from MV Agusta’s sport bikes.
The gearbox is a six-speed manual, with power delivered by a chain. The electronics include several riding modes and traction control.
What to check when buying a used Turismo Veloce
Check if manufacturer recall campaigns and software updates have been carried out. Test the electronics: riding modes, traction control and (on the Lusso trim) suspension adjustment.
Check the chain, brake discs, brakes, tyres and body plastics. Ask for the service history and ensure that parts and service availability suit you.
