MV Agusta Stradale 800

MV Agusta have taken the faithful 800cc triple-cylinder engine that does such great service in the F3, the Dragster and the Rivale and stirred the pot once more. This time they've come up with the Stradale, their take on a more touring orientated motorcycle. Has it worked? Mat takes a closer look.

Man you guys really do love MV Agusta

[@jamesdonoghue5907]

WTF have you got music playing over the section when you're trying to display the qualities of the QS and blipper? Otherwise the usual good, informative and entertaining review.

Perhaps I love weird as I have a Rivale and yep I love the thing just fun and nothing more.

200km not very far for something called a tourer...

[@javier6d2]

You should test the Turismo Veloce. Better seat, roomier hard saddlebags, more wind protection...

I get the no-clutch, full throttle upshift when you want to have a sort of street race or go on a track, but why would you want to no-clutch downshift on the road (or anywhere really)? I don't really get it ...

[@reynaldoruizflores]

Brochure tells that can be limited in power. This done by kit or computer? Is factory option or can be done after?

200km? what the hell I ride my Brutale Dragster 800 2016 250KM between fillups...

[@darkninja67]

Anyone comment on the reliability of the MV line? Gorgeous bikes though

[@avimistry8820]

Hey guys, love the reviews and love MV. Just wanna know has the same near-perfect electronics been carried over to all their models? Thanks. Cheers..

[@avimistry8820]

Oops, asked before the discussion at the end. So it's all been sorted. Awesome..

[@LostStylus]

So is stradale just rivale with a windshield and panniers?

[@livsnjutare2705]

if you ride an MV, you are not poor, aren't you?

[@ericgoodrich593]

Let's listen to the engine instead of the lame-ass background music.
