MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro The MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro is a limited-edition model of 500 units worldwide described as “the shape of desire.” More a work of art than an every-garage bike, the Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro features premium components and state-of-the-art technology. Even if you can’t get your hands on one of the 500 units, you can still enjoy its visual beauty and save its high five-figure price for a rainy day.  Powering the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro is the 998cc inline-Four also found in the Rush 1000 and Brutale 1000. MV Agusta claims the engine makes 208 hp at 13,000 rpm and 85.9 lb-ft of torque at 11,000 rpm, with redline at 14,000 rpm. Top-quality components here include forged titanium connecting rods, DLC-coated cams, and titanium valves. The Akrapovič four-exit titanium exhaust was developed specifically for this bike and features an “organ pipe” shape.  Related: MV Agusta Dragster RR SCS America | First Ride Review  It rides on a steel trellis frame, and the single-sided swingarm is made of aluminum and has a height-adjustable connector pin. Suspension is provided by Öhlins with a 43mm inverted fork and a 36mm monoshock, both offering 4.7 inches of travel. The fork is electronically adjustable for compression and rebound and manually adjustable for spring preload, while the shock is electronically adjustable for preload, rebound, and compression. Also included is an electronically adjustable Öhlins steering damper.  Keeping with the theme of high-quality components, Brembo supplies the brakes. Up front are two 320mm discs with radially mounted Stylema 4-piston calipers, and in the rear is a 220mm disc with a Brembo 2-piston caliper. The cornering ABS system has two levels of intervention: Sport and Race modes.  Designed and built at the MV Agusta facilities on the shores of Lake Varese in Italy, the Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro is made to be admired. Key styling details include a round headlight, horizontal lines, and high-tech materials like carbon fiber. In fact, the bike’s entire bodywork is carbon fiber painted with Ago Silver, Pearl Shock Red, and Gold Ciclistica. MV Agusta says 41 components on the bike are made of carbon fiber using two different processes: forged and laminated. The seat is made of leather and Alcantara, and a leather strap runs down the fuel tank. The star-shaped wheels draw the eyes, and the rear wheel’s hub features the MV logo. The winglets provide visual impact and some downforce at speed.  Related: MV Agusta Enduro Veloce Review | First Ride  Technology is abundant on the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro. In addition to two-mode ABS, it features traction control with eight levels of intervention, front lift control to optimize wheelies, launch control, cruise control, the MV EAS 4.0 bi-directional quickshifter, and four ride modes: Rain, Sport, Race, and Custom.  Through the MV Ride app, riders can access turn-by-turn navigation that is displayed on the 5.5-inch TFT color instrumentation. The Trip Record function of the app allows riders to record their rides and view the completed route, speed, gear used, lean angle, altitude, and travel times, and they can share their recorded rides with the MV community on the app. It also includes an alarm managed through the Greenbox app to alert the owner if the bike is messed with, and MV provides one year of free use for the alarm.  As a limited-edition model, the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro comes with a dedicated kit that includes a certificate of authenticity, a dedicated motorcycle cover, a passenger seat in leather and Alcantara, passenger footpegs, carbon passenger heel guards, CNC-machined brake and clutch levers, and height-adjustment plates for the swingarm pin.  MV Agusta hasn’t announced a U.S. price for the Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro, but the U.K. price is £61,400 (nearly USD $79,000). During the press briefing for the bike, MV Agusta said preorders were originally exclusive to brand collectors, and it claimed about 60% of the 500 units to be made are already spoken for. Those interested in one of these limited-edition motorcycles should make haste to their local dealer to inquire about ordering one.  Find more information on the MV Agusta website.  Check out more new bikes in Rider’s 2025 Motorcycle Buyers Guide  The post MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro Preview  appeared first on Rider Magazine.
