The touring version of the MV will be unveiled November 4. It is all very exciting with the new hardware being rolled out but I imagine both the MV and the KTM will be north of $15k. As appealing as they are, I am having a hard time convincing myself that they are so far superior to my trusty old Uly to justify the expense. Maybe I will wait a year and buy one used...

Hmph. I have to say that I'm not crazy about the Turismo fairing. I was hoping for something more analogous to the Hyper, whose supermoto roots are still evident. I'm sure the fairing provides much better wind protection but it makes it look much bulkier, not nearly as sexy.

I don't know. The mirrors are much taller than the screen. Probably have to lay down on tank like sport bike. Is this even a production model.
Really like recessed driving lamps and the wheels remind me of a Ferrari F-40/50.

I like that Rivale video...and what was wrong with the song? I love it! Ha ha. And I like the "Beyond Exclusive" at the end...it is beyond exclusive, probably downright unattainable.

2014 MV Agusta Rivale 800 | Full Review
Glowing review. I am anxiously awaiting the roll out of the Turismo Veloce Monday...latest rumors are that it will not be like the Tricruiser concept but an adventure bike with big panniers. Alas, at around $17k the Hyper looks to be a much better buy.

The headlight and cowling remind me of the Mad Magazine Spy vs Spy characters...
