Overview[edit | edit source]
MV Agusta 250 Turismo Raid
The quarter-litre category was considered a small displacement abroad, but not in Italy, where a 250cc engine was a large capacity engine. The Raid was therefore a pleasant surprise for enthusiasts, however, the level of performance was average and therefore it did not meet great sales success. The name was selected after a survey with MV dealers. ARaid Extra with higher quality finish and details was also produced.
