MV is currently one of the few companies that are pushing design boundaries, it's quite refreshing. I would tone down a couple of things, especially on that naked (red sub frame + swingarm).
Totally agree. Even as an MV owner (with the mental scars to prove it) I love these beautiful looking new machines. Great to see at least one manufacturer pushing the envelope style wise when nearly every other one is playing safe. Just hope the KTM money and management know how will mean the production versions hit the road sooner & are flawlessly finished. But how many times have we said that before? 😂
I know MV was the Alpha Romeo of the cycle world but man do they build beautiful bikes. If KTM throws some consistency and reliability in them they'll be even more desirable w/o the sleepless nights. I have a friend who owned a Dragster and I loved the styling even more then my Panigale....he did have a love and hate relationship with it for sure lol.
I think the days of, Spend all their money, look for someone to buy the company or give the company more money, Spend all that money, buy the company back for one Euro, repeat, Are over. Sardarov is concentrating on making money and getting market share.
What are you talking about? KTM money? They only did a deal for 25% in order to improve the dealer network and slightly improve purchasing power. They were doing very well, designing really high quality and reliable bikes for a long time. They've been well budgeted since their ownership changed in ~ 2016. All other brands and even the largest automotive manufacturers seek financing and form partnerships with other companies all the time. Volkswagen constantly negotiates massive financing deals from their financiers, even needs to constantly get propped up by their government. Toyota developed their Supra sports car by basically contracting the work to be done by BMW and manufacturing by Magna.
That concept bike is totally insane, in the most beautiful way. How proud would you be to walk up to that bike every single time. A bike you would literally park in the front room!
I'm a fan of MV Agusta, and under the ownership of Timur Sardarov, they improve every year. Their designs have always been "Motorcycle Art" and IMO, no other manufacture comes close, although the other Italian companies do put out some art of their own. These bikes are a "modern retro" style which for me is an oxymoron. They are head turners and they do perform as advertised, but for me it's like trying to put your arms around a memory. I'm glad they are bringing back the Cagiva name plate, this bike deserves it's own marque.
Went to the factory in 2015. Could eat your lunch off the tiled floors. Did they run up anything on the rolling road while you were there? They ran up the Corse Superbike replica for us, and opened the double-glazed door as for greater effect. Oh my, what a glorious sound. Spontaneous applause from our tour group followed…
I am the lucky owner of a F4 1000 of 2005, to me the prettiest bike ever built. I am so happy that MV keep proposing wonderful bikes that make everyone dream. I think that they solved their reliability issues and I hope that they will build a good selling network (may be with KTM help) to allow all motorbike enthusiastic to have a MV in their garage
@@peterlokin4098 I think after the development of the Euro 4 versions the reliability has improved on the 3 cylinders. I have an old 4 cylinder (2005) and, for the moment, I have no issues
@@MisterTia76 Waaay back in 02 i bought a F4 750S, not one of the SPRs just the standard full production model, and had some issues, the rear hub self destructed after only 6 months (someone was VERY sparing with the grease at the factory) and at the first big service they found the cams were scored, both were fixed under warranty but it didnt exactly instill confidence.
All the bike manufacturers have some level of sensibility built into their bikes. And every now and then, MV Agusta comes up with a new bike that transports us to a world of fantasy, a world where money is no object and gas is free, a world of pure design, engineering and art, free from all corporate intervention and supply/demand curves and environmental policies. It’s why MV is the most desirable. Kudos for being themselves. SV1000 and their 921S concept are by far the best bikes at EICMA
Wowwwww MV is always bringing it! Would love any of these. I’m not so much a ADV person but I’ll make an exception for that explorer. Thanks for the awesome content as always! Cheers
Ducati lost its soul ages ago...when MV Agusta sold it and no longer designed and developed the bikes!! It has been owned by Volkswagen for a long time so what did you expect? The least cool brand ever, who wants to ride a Volkswagen??!
I think that the red subframe and swingarm on the 921 concept are fantastic! Some of the other styling details are just silly (that seat hump has to add weight - and purely for style), but the overall proportions are just about perfect. I just hope the inlet ducting on the tank are fully functional, and properly optimized aerodynamically... :)
Hi there, as always you put together a fantastic video, thank you. Being an MV fan and owner , 2012 F4RR and a certified 001/001 2023 Rush 1000 from the factory, it would be great to see a video of the factory at work. Thanks Eric
What a gotcha moment- This is MV Augusta.😂. You’re a very lucky man to have had the privilege of an Augusta factory tour. Yeah the mantle piece would be a good place for that bike after a day in the twisties- use a scissor lift to get it up there.
I tour on an mv veloce and they are like sportbikes with high bars ..beauty and the beast all in one. Their new bikes are so beautiful and they do what their passion tells them and screw the market ...just live the dream and sell only to those who knows.
921S. OMG Beautiful. Im almost 70 been rippin since 1980 This Loosely reminds me of the oversized (Euro) Headlight'd the Blue & Silver Yamaha Seca 650 from 1982, which I love! Its gorgeous! It's powerful, no doubt pricey ... but you get what you pay for..
If you go back to Surtees and MV, it gives a glimpse of where the mindset has been all along. Agusta's statement now is something like this: Assume exotic high performance with a razor like edge to it, and if we have to dress it up for today's world, make it art.
Love MV. Wish they had a better dealer network in my area. I sold my Brutale mainly because a couple closed up or dropped the MV line. Leaving me with dealer support over 2 hrs away. Sad because it was the best damn bike I ever owned .
In 2010 a small car dealer in a village in Derbyshire had brand new four MV bikes in stock. Two were the 2010 models for around £12,000 on finance. The other two were 2009 models, including the Brutale which was on offer with finance for around £7,000! I just could not justify it at the time. It was probably about £37 per week over three years plus a lump sum at the end. I simply did not appreciate what a great deal that was. As gorgeous as these new MVs are, every one of them is at least three or four times that money, and way more complex. The concept model here is as stunning as it is outrageous, and somewhat reminiscent of the 1960s 750 Four. MV are Ferraris on two wheels.
one of my all time dream bikes ever since i stood next to agostini at mallory park in the late 60s awsome and still getting better if its possible to old now to own have to stick with my harley
MV seem to be knocking out of the ball park, especially that concept bike. I was hoping Norton were going to put their concept V4CR into production but nothing as yet so where do I sign up for the MV ! 🙃🏍💨
First, I love your channel! I live in Colorado so I am in the canyons leaning over all spring, summer and some fall. My GSXR 1K just got stolen so I need a new bike. I had military plates on it and the bastards didn't give a F. MV's are in my top 3 fav bikes, and I love the concept bike!! I am not a big fan of the cafe racer style bike, but MV crushed it with this one. It would def. be a bike that I would buy. I think it would be a ton of fun on the track as well as in the mountains. Thanks for your great channel. Wes
Love the channel!!! MV is definitely an attractive brand and I hope they keep the momentum...it's nice to see fresh ideas even if some of the design is a throwback.... Thanks!
The MV sports bikes are certainly a work of art first, then hang on to your hats power, followed by very big wallets, good enough to put in an art gallery as there can do 200mph standing still!
I think it’s more like an electronic actuator on the existing gearbox than a completely new transmission - that’s what their R&D chief described on the tour when I asked about it. But with a quickshifter I guess it can do that without the clutch? And maybe it could be automatic if you tied it into the ECU? And they’ve got the smart clutch system so no problems with pulling away…
@@motobob If the R&D chief didn't say it was a DCT then it isn't. I'm thinking it's like a ride by wire throttle, no actual physical connection to the gearbox.
@@georgekrpan3181 he specifically said it’s an electronic actuator on the gearbox that works on tandem with the SCS. I have it on camera somewhere on a hard disk - I should dig it out and publish!
Was on the EICMA 2022 but I haven’t seen MV Agusta (nor were they listed in the exhibitors list …… you mention EICMA 2022 but can you tell us where their models were exposed?
pagani in cars...and mv in bikes...they both are making art on wheels...
Both break down every other day and service garages are impossible to find :D
Go search arch motorcycles.....might change ur statement
@@zenmoto369 😂😂😂
Absolutely true!!!
Ducati is Ferrari, MV is Pagani.
I thought they had already peaked with their designs.. but I cannot believe my eyes! Those 2 new bikes!! 😱😱
THAT is MV Agusta.
100% the 921 will go to market. It's too well polished to be a concept. It looked like a pre production model.
SV 1000 will see production.
MV is currently one of the few companies that are pushing design boundaries, it's quite refreshing. I would tone down a couple of things, especially on that naked (red sub frame + swingarm).
There are other brands more exclusive than MV, with nice design and noble material
@@GG-gk7jn More exclusive than MV....? Like what?
But that's the best part....The red sub frame & swingarm.
@@Juanpasilver lol theres about 4 brands that are more exclusive. Go search. One is in usa. Two are in italy and one in Britain.
@@Juanpasilver Brough Superior? But their design is not as bold and radical.

Just a Brutale 800 for us I’m afraid, but not a bad second best is it?
Liking the coverage of so much bike news - clearly a lot of hard work behind all that.
Thanks mate! It's been a busy few weeks but totally worth it for all the great comments from the likes of yourself - really appreciate the support 🙏

Had a 2011 Brutale 1090RR. Zero reliability issues. I think they sorted the hub and other issues out around 2008.

That MV 921S concept bike reminds me of the Munch Mammoth, except the MV looks sane.....
the concept 921S is gorgeous
Yes please to ALL of it! Stunning machines to look at, the performance is a bonus. Thank you Motobob.
Wowwwww MV is always bringing it!
Would love any of these. I’m not so much a ADV person but I’ll make an exception for that explorer.

Hands down to new MV bikes
Amazing design 👌🏻
That 921s is definitely gorgeous and I hope they release/built it.
I think they skipped eicma this year. They presented that new street fighter at their store in Milan actually.
921 design is clearly based on the 80's 750 America. Very nice interpretation of a modern café racer. Well done Agusta.
That 921s has got my attention!
Wow!
While ducati is losing it’s soul, MV is still the outrageous manufacturer we all love
so right, Ducati has gone corporate ever since their acquisition by Volkswagen you can see it in the lack of design year after year
Ducati lost its soul ages ago...when MV Agusta sold it and no longer designed and developed the bikes!! It has been owned by Volkswagen for a long time so what did you expect? The least cool brand ever, who wants to ride a Volkswagen??!
The 921S is a nice modern take on their 1971 750S.
that 921 = one word wow....
Wow 921S absolutely stunning!!! 👌🏻👍🏻😁
Great video! Spot on commentary!
I'm with you the 921s is absolutely beautiful.
Salivating over the 921S 👍
That 921 is amazing!!!
The F4 is reborn, based on the B1000 package. Good to see the undertail pipes back.
The 921 is probably the best looking bike I’ve ever seen, every part of it is interesting and beautifully made.
I think that the red subframe and swingarm on the 921 concept are fantastic! Some of the other styling details are just silly (that seat hump has to add weight - and purely for style), but the overall proportions are just about perfect. I just hope the inlet ducting on the tank are fully functional, and properly optimized aerodynamically... :)
The fake exhausts on the Superveloce are a bit naff too.
the last one is now my new fave motorcycle of all motorcycle. What a beauty 921S!
For me the Lucky Explorer, I use to own a '96 Cagiva Elefant 900, and the 921s are the ones.
That 921 concept is to die for........
A 40k€ bike with the switchgear of a 15yo Aprilia Pegaso.
" This is MvAgusta"
Hi there, as always you put together a fantastic video, thank you. Being an MV fan and owner , 2012 F4RR and a certified 001/001 2023 Rush 1000 from the factory, it would be great to see a video of the factory at work. Thanks Eric
Love that 921.
Why is it that every time I see a group test that includes an MV, it either comes last or very near last. I have never ridden an MV but I am curious.
The 921S is really a beauty I hope they are going to produce it in the near future, not impresse for the enduro and the Oro bike
Simply Sublime.. As is somehow always to be expected.. Every year.. From the mighty little MV Agusta factory in Varese ❤
The Superveloce is a dream come true. The rush 1000 has been replaced lol
The MV Agusta design house is second to none. Beautiful sexy bikes.
The MVs remind me of Flash Gordon rockets, epic stuff even if most of us will end up on something more sensible like a Honda or triumph
The 921S is the reason I looked at your video. Absolutely gorgeous!
I want the 921s badly.
MV absolutely killing it.
921S is sooooo beautiful in MV's Retro colors. I would love to be able to buy one! USA
The Superveloce is pretty rad-I prefer the simplicity of the previous model however.
Unbelievable Beauty on wheels. Chapeau!
Where did you get the motorcycle models that you have displayed behind you?
921S............ stunning!!😱
What a gotcha moment- This is MV Augusta.😂. You’re a very lucky man to have had the privilege of an Augusta factory tour.
Yeah the mantle piece would be a good place for that bike after a day in the twisties- use a scissor lift to get it up there.
921s just wicked
Pictures don't do MV Augusta rightness. They look so good in real.
Thank you mr Bob!
Owned two MVA - and the best is yet to come!!
Absolutely unbelievable! It’s the concept bike for me all the way. Just gorgeous.
MV Agusta is an emotion, for bike lovers
I tour on an mv veloce and they are like sportbikes with high bars ..beauty and the beast all in one. Their new bikes are so beautiful and they do what their passion tells them and screw the market ...just live the dream and sell only to those who knows.
This stuff is what my dreams are made of....! GOSH!
One day, MV. One day…
Stunning machines more like works of art

The new MV Agusta SV 1000 is a work of art.🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have a MV Brutale 910s just pure stunning bikes they make you never stop smiling when riding a MV .Yes cracking bike the 921
The 921 🤯🤯🤯

How much do you reckon the Lucky Explorers will be? Both the 5.5 and the 9.5?
Love MV. Wish they had a better dealer network in my area. I sold my Brutale mainly because a couple closed up or dropped the MV line. Leaving me with dealer support over 2 hrs away. Sad because it was the best damn bike I ever owned .
i LOVE that early 90s looking MV logo on the 921. Wish it was a triple though.
Amazing bikes. Agree stunning designs, all of them.
Sheer artwork. Beautiful bikes…
MV makes works of art. True Italian artisanship!
In 2010 a small car dealer in a village in Derbyshire had brand new four MV bikes in stock. Two were the 2010 models for around £12,000 on finance.

Thanks for the support Wes - sorry to hear about your Gixxer. Hopefully you can find something just as good to replace it with 👍

Italy makes “passion”

Italians are the Best, honestly, great engineers and designers, just cannot beat them.
Where did you take your scale bike that wee see in the background?
That SuperVolce is absolutely incredible. I liked the original design but this is another level
One word "drooling".
MV Agusta is truly a Picasso of motorbikes. They don't manufacture motorcycles, they create them.
OMG!!!!! That Augusta is bonkers. That might be the most beautiful cafe' I've ever seen. Only 107hp though.
That Cafe Racer looks sick, I will be watching out for that, love there bikes. Had an F4 and wish I didnt get rid of her.
I love MV Augusta, they make beautiful bikes, amazing. However, Norton V4CR, I just fell in love with it.
