In 2022, MV Agusta unveiled a model that many fans and enthusiasts certainly hoped would become a reality. At EICMA, the Italian manufacturer unveiled the Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro, a retro-themed bike built on the basis of the naked model, Brutale 1000. That said, 2023 came and went, as did EICMA 2023, and it seemed that the Superveloce 1000 would not be presented.
However, this could all be about to change, as Cycle World’s Ben Purvis has managed to uncover Australian homologation documents that suggest a full production model of the Superveloce 1000. Purvis goes into a lot of detail about the supposed future model, so be sure to check out the full article at the link below. That said, let’s talk a bit about why the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 – should it become a reality – is such an important bike not just for MV Agusta, but for the motorcycle industry as a whole.
First of all, the Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro is certainly a unique machine, being the only retro-inspired supersport bike on the market. Of course, there is the Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR, but that bike is largely based on the RS model and obviously doesn’t have a full fairing. As such, the Superveloce 1000 is sure to be a hit with motorcyclists looking for a touch of retro style, all without compromising on cutting-edge technology and performance in the slightest.
It goes without saying that the superbike segment is booming, with many powerful, cutting-edge machines. Bikes like the BMW M 1000 RR, the Ducati Panigale V4 and the Aprilia RSV4 are all pioneers in their own right, but they are, in essence, made from the same cloth.
What makes the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 so interesting is that it’s a fusion of icons from the Italian brand. For example, there’s the now-discontinued F4 superbike, one of the only superbikes with an in-line four-cylinder engine from an Italian manufacturer. In addition, the Superveloce 1000 will undoubtedly use the cutting-edge technology of the Brutale and Rush 1000 – MV Agusta’s top offerings in the naked segment. Last but certainly not least, the Superveloce 1000 is the logical next step after the Superveloce 800.
When it comes to performance, the Superveloce 1000 can well and truly take a seat at the heavyweight table. It’s equipped with the same 998 cc in-line four engine as the Rush and Brutale, and is tuned to produce an impressive 205 hp at 13,000 rpm. The frame is also shared with its naked sisters, maintaining a compact 55.7-inch wheelbase. In terms of styling, the Superveloce 1000 shares a lot in common with its smaller sister, with an elegant full fairing and a single circular headlight. The retro elements continue to the rear, with its short, compact design giving it a retro-racer look. As for the fairing, it’s much wider and bulkier than that of the 800.
At the moment, there is still no word from MV Agusta about the launch of the Superveloce 1000, and it is indeed interesting that the homologation documents for the bike have appeared in Australia. That said, it’s clear that the bike is practically ready for production, and it’s probably only a matter of time before we see this bike unveiled in all its glory.
