2026 MV Agusta Superveloce 800 S
Timeless racing aesthetics combined with an evocative high-revving triple
Price: €23,000 + additional costs
The Superveloce 800 S remains one of the most captivating motorcycles on the market in 2026. Few other models combine the racing aesthetics of the 1970s so convincingly with state-of-the-art engineering. Beneath the elegant fairing sits the familiar 798 cc inline triple producing 147 hp, delivering its power with remarkable smoothness while thrilling riders with its unmistakable soundtrack all the way to the top of the rev range. Thanks to its counter-rotating crankshaft and extensive electronics package, the Italian machine feels more precise and agile than its nostalgic styling would ever suggest.
On winding roads, the Superveloce impresses with razor-sharp turn-in, excellent chassis stability, and a power delivery that is unusually harmonious for a supersport motorcycle. The S version adds exclusive details such as an Alcantara seat, wire-spoke wheels, carbon-fiber components, and CNC-machined parts.
Its strengths are its design, soundtrack, and handling precision. Weaknesses remain the uncompromising ergonomics and the high purchase price. Its principal competitors include the Ducati Panigale V2, Triumph Daytona 660, Honda CBR600RR, and Aprilia RS660, yet none combine retro-inspired styling with modern technology as elegantly as the MV Agusta.
