For 2015 the Varese opens to tourism, we interviewed Giovanni Castiglioni, MV Agusta CEO, who told us why the entry in the segment of road touring bikes and the news of the new MV Agusta 800 Stradale.

MV Agusta enters for the first time in the world of the Tourer, why this choice?
"We have expanded our product range, entering more or less in all segments and we were missing one of the tourer. With Road and Turismo Veloce want to take both customers "light" that the real tourer, that is a tourer medium-short range and one in the medium-long range '

The Stradale 800 bike is built exclusively for use tourist or not only?
"The Stradale 800 was born to a multipurpose use, which allows you then to be able to go to the city, in offce, have fun going to do the mountain pass or just a weekend with his girlfriend. It 'a motorcycle handyman. "

In order to make the two series of side cases, with integrated turn signals, there was need for a special approval process? Why this choice?
"It 's the first time you made a choice like this and there was therefore need a special approval. We decided to take this choice because nobody until now had thought about integrating the stops inside the bags. The Stradale 800 so it gains from the aesthetic point of view, leaving the rear clean. The customer who buys MV, buy a motorcycle aspirational and should seek to have the design skills that others do not have. "

What kind of customers will pay attention?
"This bike will turn much to lovers of naked sports, who want to have a bike more comfortable without having to switch to a tourer real."

The Sradale 800 already this December will be on sale at your dealerships. Will then be made of the test-ride for your customers?
"We will definitely open day with the test ride dedicated to all our future customers who want to try the new MV Agusta 800 Stradale."
