Overview
MV Agusta 83 Ottantatrè Turismo
An odd displacement for a light utility
vehicle. However, it is the engine that allows this motorcycle to be the
cheapest in the range: the 83cc displacement is the best compromise for two
passengers and fuel efficiency.
The performance is average, but at the end of the 50s, customers looked for simple and reliable vehicles, that would be capable of maintaining those characteristics in time.
The colour was black with an ivory tank and a red highlight. Source
