Take yourself outside and give yourself a good hard slap!. I fell for the sexy MV Turismo looks but was soon facing the reality of what is a undeveloped styling exercise based on a sports focused 800 with no thought to touring (or anything else I can think of) capability. I bought it new from my nearest MV dealer (a good 200+mile round trip) and not long into ownership did the shortcomings appear.
1st was it regularly needed a full switch off wait 10 mins for the dash to clear electric gremlins that put it into "safe mode operation" . The clutch basket cush rubbers must have been an after thought as these started chattering , it seems they have a constant update to the parts for these in efforts to solve (note constant is relative in MV parts supply terms) . The Led indicator lights, had failed LED bulbs almost every time they saw rain . The rear number plate light unit has its loom plug in the rear of the swingarm exposed to all the crap thrown off the rear wheel it corroded faster than Russian steel exposed to a salt bath which I notice when I tried to swap the oem plastic rear mudguard for a carbon unit as the plug disintegrated on its 1st disconnect since assemble (6months from new sale). Lots of random sensor errors occurred all fixed by the power off wait restart reboots. And don't even think about trying to take the (front) body work off its assembly is the work of some idiot who though hundreds of tiny bolts and intricate origami shapes was a good idea . Plus they use the don't disassemble version of Loctite on some of the front end fixing bolts so they snap when trying to undo for the 1st time. I got the normal sussie (non active) version as I thought it would be less hassle however the rear spring damper rising rate set up was all wrong & the bike handled like a drunk tea trolley on bends with any level of undulation with it wanting to wobble about the headstock as the rear wallowed and rebounded. No amount of fiddling with the inaccessible adjusters changed its behaviour. So do yourself a favour and look but don't buy.
Oh the 800 engine also has a ridiculously small oil capacity and tiny oil filter so oil change intervals are at really low miles for a road sports touring it thinks it is. Pic as evidence of my ownershit experience
