Perhaps it was a GSX-R600. Maybe Team Green\u2019s 636. Hell, it could even have been a R6, though Yamaha hasn\u2019t built a street-legal version of that speedster since 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the case, you\u2019ve left the supersports world behind. Maybe it\u2019s a bad back. Could be wonky knees. Just as likely your wrists can\u2019t handle the constant pressure anymore. I know your pain. I\u2019ve got all three. And, if you\u2019re anything like me, you resisted for as long as you could. Muscle relaxants gave adequate \u2014 but fleeting \u2014 solace; bar risers just delayed the inevitable. It was time to leave the motorcycles of your youth behind.<\/p>\n<p>But, my Lord, you miss the twitchy steering, the scream of stratospheric redlines and the feeling of one-ness with the machine that can only come from a middleweight supersport: The knowledge that no corner is too tight, no braking marker too late and that, as soon as you think about turning, you\u2019re already diving toward the apex.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-61972 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/motorcyclemojo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC06281-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\">You contemplated moving to a sports tourer, but they\u2019re just big couches now, aren\u2019t they? You thought about a naked bike \u2014 both the KTM Super Duke and Ducati\u2019s Monster look appetizing \u2014 but, although they don\u2019t sport clip-ons, they\u2019re not exactly comfortable. And don\u2019t they look silly if you strap a big old aftermarket windscreen on \u2018em?<\/p>\n<p>Then, of course, there\u2019s the latest spate of litre-plus adventure tourers. Yes, they\u2019re monster-motored, but they\u2019re all high centre of gravity and 19-inch front wheels; hardly the rapier-like handling you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose you could look at a BMW X1000RR. Certainly, it\u2019s got the sporting bona fides, what with Brembos and Ohlins all round and a nice tight 17-inch front wheel. There\u2019s even a M-version coming that promises to push eyeballs even deeper into your cranium. But litre bikes are such overkill and there\u2019s just something about, well, the rapier-like steering response that can only come from the most focussed of motorcycles. What you really need, you think, is a Yamaha R6 \u2014 and all its running gear \u2014 in a Tenere 700 chassis.<\/p>\n<p>Well, sorry for the big build-up, but that I can\u2019t give you.<\/p>\n<p>But what if I could get you an 800-cc MV Agusta F3 with a cozy adventure touring riding position, an adjustable sport-touring windscreen and enough touring accessories \u2014 saddlebags, GPS navigation and more \u2014 to make it a passable long-distance hauler? It may not be perfect \u2014 more on that in a minute \u2014 but I can promise you this: it will allow you to relive your Akrapovi\u010d-piped youth without challenging arthritic joints, stretched ligaments or wonky lumbars. It\u2019s called the Turismo Veloce \u2014 quite literally \u201cfast touring\u201d \u2014 and I spent a week blasting through the Italian Alps with a recklessness \u2014 please forgive me, mom \u2014 I haven\u2019t felt for 30 years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE ENGINE IS A GEM<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No word of a lie: MV Agusta\u2019s 798-cc, 79-mm by 54.3-mm triple \u2014 especially in this, its Turismo Veloce guise \u2014 is the best middleweight engine extent. It has the screamiest engine (a lot of) money can buy, 110 horsepower of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A superbike for the adventure set.
