Here is a link to a review of the 2018 MV Agusta Turismo Veloce Lusso SCS. The Lusso SCS claim to fame is that it now has a Rekluse slipper clutch, which apparently acts somewhat like a dual clutch system, without the extra weight or complexity. One thing in the article that caught my attention is that Euro 4 required MV to reduce both the noise and emissions produced by their motorcycle models by 50%, which required a re-engineering of their 800cc engine line. (That's a lot!) I also found it interesting that they are now using Sachs computer-controlled, semi-active suspension components, which are the same brand as BMW is currently using. However, unlike the BMW components, MV allows you to adjust the suspension damping using a smart phone app to more than just 2 fixed settings, such as what you get with the R1200R/RS models. But you sure pay for the privilege of buying this bike. Just check out the MSRP for this new model at the end of the article: http://www.motorcycle.com/features/mv-ag...ide-review.html

And here is a review by Revzilla: https://www.revzilla.com/common-tread/mv...-scs-first-ride

At those prices, I don't think I will be supporting any Russian Oligarchs.

Having experienced the "privilege" of owning a Brutale RR, I can honestly say I am glad the privilege is over...more so my wallet!

I think the truth is a better mousetrap is only better if it doesn't break. An excellent high tech bike from a low volume maker is not unusual. Getting spares and competent service and back up is unusual.
