The SCS (Smart Clutch System) versions of MV Agusta’s Turismo Veloce RC and Turismo Veloce Lusso sports tourers have gone on sale locally, priced at $35,880 and $31,790 (rideaway) respectively.
The top-spec RC (as in Reparto Corse) and Lusso both have locking hard-case panniers, bi-directional quickshifters, cruise control and heated grips as standard equipment, while the RC adds satellite navigation, a motorcycle cover, certificate of origin and the exclusive red/black/white/green livery.
The proprietary SCS lets you choose from two possibilities: operate the clutch manually using the clutch lever, or leave operation entirely up to the SCS allowing you to focus exclusively on the ride.
