It's been a very busy few weeks with a few bike launches, including that of the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800 in the South of France. It was one of most tiring, intense day's motorcycling I've done for a long time as we rode at what felt like a manic pace (as is the Italian way on these things) with the roads rising up higher and higher above Nice, and the corners getting tighter and tighter. We ended up negotiating tunnels hewn from solid rock, Alpine melt water dripping off onto the road surface, and trying to get shots done with a procession of motorhomes, cyclists and other tourists dashing past.
The MV is a fine motorcycle, and did exactly what its name suggests, touring very quickly, with the added fun of using a quickshifter that works well and a slipper clutch too - we'll have a full review in the next Issue 8 of the mag.
