In 2022, MV Agusta unveiled a model that many fans and enthusiasts certainly hoped would become a reality. At EICMA, the Italian manufacturer revealed the Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro, a retro-themed motorcycle based on the naked model, Brutale 1000. That being said, 2023 came and went, as did EICMA 2023, and it seemed like the Superveloce 1000 would not be introduced.
However, all of this may be about to change, as Ben Purvis from Cycle World managed to uncover Australian homologation documents suggesting a full production model of the Superveloce 1000. Purvis goes into great detail about the alleged future model, so be sure to check out the full article at the link below. That being said, let’s talk a little bit about why the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 – if it becomes a reality – is such an important motorcycle not only for MV Agusta, but for the motorcycle industry as a whole.
First and foremost, the Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro is certainly a unique machine, being the only retro-inspired supersport motorcycle on the market. Of course, there is the Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR, but that motorcycle is largely based on the RS model and obviously does not have a full fairing. As such, the Superveloce 1000 will certainly be a hit among riders looking for a touch of retro style, all without compromising cutting-edge technology and performance.
Needless to say, the superbike segment is booming, with many powerful and cutting-edge machines. Motorcycles like the BMW M 1000 RR, the Ducati Panigale V4, and the Aprilia RSV4 are all pioneers in their own right, but they are, essentially, made from the same cloth.
What makes the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 so interesting is the fact that it is a fusion of Italian brand icons. For example, we have the now discontinued F4 superbike, one of the only superbikes with an inline four-cylinder engine from an Italian manufacturer. In addition, the Superveloce 1000 will undoubtedly use cutting-edge technology from the Brutale and Rush 1000 – top offerings in MV Agusta’s 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 certainly hold its own. It is equipped with the same 998 cc inline-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 siblings, maintaining a compact wheelbase of 55.7 inches. In terms of style, the Superveloce 1000 shares a lot in common with its smaller sister, with a sleek full fairing and a single circular headlight. The retro elements continue to the rear, with its short and compact design giving it a retro-racer look. As for the fairing, it is much wider and bulkier than the one on the 800.
At the moment, there is still no word from MV Agusta about the release of the Superveloce 1000, and it is indeed interesting that the homologation documents for the bike have surfaced in Australia. That being said, it is evident that the bike is practically ready for production, and it is likely just a matter of time until we see this bike revealed in all its glory.
