MV Agusta reveals Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro limited edition

- Limited to just 500 units

- Half of the bikes have already been pre-ordered

- Gets 41 carbon fibre components

A conversation about beautiful motorcycles is incomplete without the inclusion of MV Agusta, especially Massimo Tamburini’s F4 models. However, it’s 2024 and the F4 has long been shelved, making way for new-age creations like the Superveloce. Until recently, the Superveloce was available only in a 798cc version. The Italian brand recently widened its portfolio by introducing Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro.

It’s not just another sportbike added to the line-up. It’s an ultra-exclusive, carbon fiber-intensive, breathtakingly beautiful pair of wheels. Only 500 units of the bike will ever be made and almost half of them have already been pre-ordered. And we are not surprised because, well, look at it! It retains the Superveloce design ethos but in a more imposing-looking package. The layered fairing gets huge air scoops flanking the small round headlamp. There are winglets inspired by the 1972 MV Agusta 500 Grand Prix race bike while the bodywork comprises as many as 41 carbon fibre components.

Hiding behind its gorgeous fairing is a 998cc, inline four-cylinder engine that was being used only in the Brutale 1000 series so far. This DOHC unit produces a staggering 208bhp at 13,000rpm and 116.5Nm at 11,000rpm. If these numbers aren’t impressive enough, the internals of the engine include titanium con rods, DLC-coated cams, and titanium valves. The electronics package is as special as the engine with eight-level traction control, two wet modes, three road modes, three track modes, launch control, front lift control, cruise control, lean-sensitive ABS, and a quick shifter. Moreover, it gets fully adjustable Ohlins suspension, Brembo brakes, and Ohlins steering damper.

This is the first special model released by the Italian marquee after being taken over by Pierer Mobility, the parent company of KTM. As of now, MV Agusta doesn’t have a presence in India but it might come back to stir up the premium bike market in the future.
