Overview[edit | edit source]
MV Agusta 83 Turismo GTE Checca
The Checca replaces the previous Ottantatrè model. It maintained the same 83cc displacement but was a far more advanced motorcycle.
The engine was inspired by the 125 Centomila, with a larger sump and a 4 speed gearbox.
The frame was also a new open tubular double cradle. It was economic to buy and maintain and had decent sales success. Source
