But spares! Got a mate who had a minor crash on his (current model) MV. It spent over a year… over a year! waiting for a new petrol tank. The insurance refused to allow him the bike back with the old tank, and he was stuffed, bikeless for over 12 months because MV didn’t have a tank in stock and were waiting on their supplier. He’s now riding a BMW.
@@Helmigurt I’m not talking about the dim and distant past, he only just got the bike back about 5 weeks ago, so KTM ownership was ‘a thing’ while he was waiting… the repaired bike went as part exchange for the Beemer. KTM are not the world’s shining example on spares and (guarantee) repairs either. Think on’t.
I own a superveloce 2yrs now. 👍 Nice review 🙏 I have owned several motorcycles Honda harley bmw triumph ducati. The superveloce sounds amazing, it is quite easy to drive and fast. I love it. Regarding reliability after 2 yrs with few miles the battery degrades fast. Always use a charger even if you ride once a week. When the bike stays in the garage for weeks the rear brake loses pressure. Thats why now I keep a dumbbell on the rear brake to keep it under pressure in the garage. I live in Athens Greece service here is really good comparing to other brands. For motorcycle enthusiasts mvs are a great option. For a weekend ride superveloce is great!
I've got this bike in June 2021. Black edition. Still have it, I made carbon fairings by myself. That's what i do for a living, and I love it. I've never kept for that long a bike, but this came to stay in next to my Hypermotard 950sp, which is another level of fun!
Always loved the Super Veloce, probably a good thing MV hardly exists in the U.S. or I would have found a way to buy one (obscenely expensive here, Ducati V4S expensive). If I were rich I'd have one just to look at in my garage. Of course if we actually start to see them in KTM dealerships.....Well we have a number of those.
Don’t like at all the black color fairings on the superveloce, however that bike is just pure masterpiece ❤😍 at this point any color fits it well. That motorcycle belongs on a museum exhibition
Nice one Chris. Agree with everything you said. I like a bike that’s rough around the edges myself but can also appreciate the design of a bike. While I love the look of this bike, especially in the white I saw it in at my local dealer I don’t think that triple engine is enough to rock my world personally but I ride a 23 year old 998 and a 13 year old 1199s
Excellent review. I own the Agostini version which is the only one that comes with Ohlins suspension & 6 steering damper. Both work fine on bumpy roads. The bikes beautifully made and real head turner
@@ashleyaries9299 It’s like any other superbike. Not better, not worse. But of course I am not taking it for very long trips. But a weekend trip on windy roads with backpack is no worries
Great review and finally someone who agrees with me on MVs! It's so much throwing the kitchen sink of design at it that it just feels like it goes too far and becomes too much, almost tacky.. Plus, there's just something 'off' about the proportions of the Superveloce that I can't quite put my finger on. Interesting overall, but surely the 1200RR just makes so much more sense? Better looking, better kit, loads more power and cheaper? No brainer.
This bike as a package is clearly designed to appeal to a very specific type of customer. That special someone. I'm sure it's a lovely bike to ride but for the same money I'd definitely be buying something else.
i had a really good up close inspection of one of these, some bits ooze quality and style, and some bits ooze shite, like the cable clutch and (lack of) steering damper, pretty sure a couple of blokes in the pub could tweak it over a few pints
Exactly, i went to buy one 2 years ago and 10 feet away I was sold. Upon close up inspection some parts look cheap af. The clutch cable, the clutch adjuster, the white plastic plug going to the clutch, the bubbled paint on the tank and the cheap ass powdercoating that looks like it came off of some cheap lawn furniture. The base model Brutale looked like it cost twice as much sitting next to then Superveloce.
Love the design and the colour, hate the strap. I do agree about the show off issue but I don’t think this bike is particularly guilty of that. It’s not Lewis Hamilton bling. And in the end it’s a triple! My favourite engine.
@@_AnanasIEgenJuice_That's definitely an improvement but if it was mine I'd get rid of it all together. Otherwise I really like the design. I'll probably never own one though. I'm a simple designer not a millionaire.
@@10secondsrule I had mine delivered about 6 weeks ago. A 2022 late year model with only the dealer having ridden it a bit. Its expensive but not more than so many other bikes. Cheaper than a Ducati Pani V2.
I regularly ride mine and I have to agree that it's not the strange little niche bike that people think it is. Sounds as good as it looks and makes 110 mph seem like a bicycle ride. I love it, although I have several reasons why I'd never recommend one. 1. This isn't specific to just this bike, but all MVs. Valve adjustment every 7.5k miles, and you can't conveniently sweep it under the rug. It's also, at the time of writing, a $1,600 job, plus $350 oil changes every few thousand miles. If you ride it that amount every year, you're spending more than a high-performance German car to keep it running. 2. Italian bikes run hot. My Aprilia did although it was still okay, but this thing is a literal sauna. It's absolutely fine in the winter (actually it's welcome) but after 15 minutes of riding you're already sweating. It'll be 90 degrees Fahrenheit, bike says 114. While I'm sitting at a light, I believe the bike. Make sure to pack extra water when you go out on a ride or order extra when you sit down. 3. It's called "Superveloce" for a reason: this bike HATES slow. It loves to sing over 7k RPM, anything under that is an absolute chore for you and the bike. Keep it away from crowded areas, slow traffic, and the most casual type of cruising (yes, it hates that too). For that last one here's an example: spend 6th gear at any speed under 75 mph and it chatters and gets jittery. So if I'm highway cruising, I'm in 4th or 5th (70-90 mph) and save 6th for when you need to go faster than 100. 4. This one's relatively minor. No fuel gauge, only fuel light. 4 gallon tank. This gets roughly 150 miles of range. Every Sunday I ride ~200 miles so I have to fill up twice. To add to that, the lights on the display are hard to see unless you tint the windscreen, so ALWAYS know your fuel level. Or tint your windscreen. 5. This one is major: service centers. I used to live 3 miles from one, but after I moved the nearest one is 7 miles away (luckily). The next closest one is all the way across the city 20 miles away, and the next closest one after that is 40 miles away. After that, 100 miles. Keep this in mind, I live in a very motorcycle-centric metropolitan area with that kind of money so people are either not riding their MVs enough to worry about bringing it in for regular service or have the money to just pay someone to bring it there. Finding a place to service your bike if you don't do so yourself could make or break ownership. 6. Parts are hard to get. I'm waiting on parts for my bike and it's been months since the request was made and no updates. Remember kids, we're no longer in the pandemic plagued with supply chain issues. 7. Insurance. Do I even need to explain this one? But despite all that, do I regret buying mine? Not at all. For the dedicated rider, nothing beats the world's fastest cafe racer (it isn't the SV 1000, that's a proper supersport). Okay, so the attention it gets is not worth it, but everything else from riding to just seeing it in your garage is an absolute experience. Just maybe get a Brutale or Dragster instead and spare your back and wrists.
Thanks for the in depth review, Chris. As beautiful as the are, and while they proliferate where I live, this is the cap on the don't get one bottle. I'll stick to my Hypermotard 950SP.
Been in love with MV's since Tamburini designed the F4. Still have a Brutale. But the down side is reliability, build quality, dealer support, spares and spares. Oh, and spares.
Manufacturing a bike exclusively in europe means high production cost. 2nd getting spare parts even more difficult Even if they sales quite few of this....profitability of mv as company?? Not bright They need to focus on twin engines,target mass market.... Example,KTM & now aprilia with rs457
Not sure about it tbh. Saw one up close the other day and thought it looked too slim and a bit unsubstantial. All academic of course as there’s no way I’d drop £20K on any bike.
It seems that the visual of the bike is a huge saling point, you wasted a lit of time on the visuals of the bike! The looks will be the main reason someone would by it and having the ability to do so!
I’m not lying; I clicked on this video strongly disliking the ‘ugly’ Superveloce on all fronts… now that I have looked at it for 10+ minutes, and understand what it is at its core, I kinda want one….
The bar end mirrors, weird leather strap on the fuel tank, crappy numberplate holder, that bar thing across the screen...all adds up to make it look a bit shit imo, just doesn't quite hit the retro-cool image it's aiming for.
IT'S NOT PRETTY! It always baffles me how Britons and especially Germans acritically assume as aesthetically accomplished any radical design or almost any design that comes out of Italy: - Ducati 999 - Ducati Scrambler - Ducati 750SS - MV Rush - MV Dragster - MV Turismo Veloce - Aprilia RS 660 - Aprilia Tuono (all of them, all) - Guzzi V85 Instantly, out of the top of my head...
brits need to get over their love of being boring and add some colour to their dreary patriotism. stop over cooking your veggies and meat. that said i'm not sure buying an MV is the right way to do it though i think this superveloce is heading in the right direction. i think there's a real market for road riding performance
“Not Good Enough” do you understand how TH-cam works, they place the ads. I’m sorry you had to sit through a couple of adverts, would you like to start paying a subscription instead?
£20,000 for a bike that MV couldn't even bother finish painting? Wow. That cheap, matte black plastic on the bottom half and slapped across the windscreen seriously detracts from an otherwise very attractive bike.
