MV Agusta’s Rivale 800 put a stylish spin on the Supermoto genre.
The supermoto-inspired triple was voted the most beautiful bike of Milan’s EICMA show in 2012. MV's design chief at the time - Adrian Morten said "This bike isn't for everybody. The Rivale didn't come through marketing or focus groups. At MV we can just make a sketch and get on with creating something individual."
It’s a classy piece of design, all flowing curves and fine detailing, finished off with MV’s three-cylinder signature of a trio of stubby silencers. It’s also very much a niche model. Even after taking the Rivale home, I’m still not sure exactly what type of bike it is or which bikes are the rivals implied by its name. I'm guessing any naked bike, especially the exotics such as Ducati Monster, Hypermotard, Benelli TNT1130, Moto Morini, Aprilia Tuono & Shiver models, Triumph Street Triple etc.
What’s for sure though is that the Rivale is a blast to ride, especially blasting through traffic and of course on a sunny morning on the way through the hills to Mundaring. That’s not surprising given that it combines a powerful, flexible, and compact three-cylinder engine with a lightweight chassis incorporating long-travel but respectably firm suspension.
Adrian Morton said: "At MV we shouldn’t be doing bikes to keep everybody happy; we should be doing bikes that you either love or hate. The Rivale isn’t about touring or practicality. It’s about having fun on two wheels at the weekend."
Come and take it for a test ride.
We're open until 5pm during the week and 1230 on Saturdays NOR.
Delivery in Perth is $150
