Four-cylinder bikes, meanwhile, rev to the moon. Never mind that many a Ducati Desmo twin and Yamaha\u2019s long-gone and much-missed FJ1200 made a mockery of such broad-based assumptions, the choice between two and four pistons has been, with rare exception, the duality that most motorcyclists must choose from.<\/p>The middle-ground, triples, has never made much of an impression. Oh, Triumph\u2019s original Trident \u2014 and its slightly-modified sister, BSA\u2019s Rocket III \u2014 briefly challenged Honda\u2019s seminal CB750 for superbike relevance. And, for a (very) brief time, Laverda\u2019s 1000-cc Jota was the fastest two-wheeler on the planet. Nevertheless, the triple has worked largely in obscurity. Triumph\u2019s latest Rocket III, a fatuous beast of a cruiser, sells but in the dozens and, while Yamaha\u2019s MT-09 is appealing, it feels like yet another anonymous UJM; it could be powered by a twin, a four or even a single for all the personality the engine adds to the equation. Triumph makes an excellent effort with its Speed Triple, but truth be told, it\u2019s been a long time since it felt truly British.<\/p>
Triple Excellence<\/strong><\/p>Then there\u2019s MV Agusta. Unmistakeably Italian, MV\u2019s triples rip, snort and, raise all sorts of hell. More importantly, if my sampling of the latest version is any indication \u2014 that powering the all-new Enduro Veloce \u2014 the Italian inline three makes an excellent argument for two-wheeled perfection. Essentially a bored and stroked \u2014 81.0 mm by 60.2 mm \u2014 version of the Turismo\u2019s 798-cc triple, this, the largest version of the Varese triple, displaces a meaty 931 cc. Maximum urge is a likewise healthy 124-horsepower at 10,000 rpm backed up by 75 pound-feet of torque at 7,000 and it\u2019s all redlined at 11 grand. <\/p>
A few thoughts on those numbers. First, 124 horses are always impressive, even more so when they only have to move the Enduro Veloce\u2019s 235 kilograms. In the real world, in other words, there\u2019s plenty of \u201cgiddy\u201d to the MV\u2019s \u201cup.\u201d You will not be left behind no matter how \u201csuper\u201d your riding partner\u2019s bike may be, and even litre-plus adventure tourers won\u2019t leave you in their wake. More top-end power the Enduro Veloce does not need. <\/p>
Peak torque, meanwhile, is at 7,000 rpm. Along with max. horsepower at 10,000, it suggests a peaky powerband. Nothing could be further from the truth. MV\u2019s 931-triple is, in fact, one of the most \u201clinear\u201d engines in motorcycling, twisting the throttle akin to turning a perfectly calibrated rheostat.<\/p>
Torque Down Low<\/strong><\/p>Though it\u2019s not quite as torquey as a big-inch twin down low, it does start pulling decently around 3,000 \u2014 when, MV claims, it\u2019s producing 85 per cent of its maximum torque \u2014 and is perfectly happy to spin until it hits the rev limiter, which means that you can hold third gear on pretty much any twisty road and fourth will take you from an urban crawl all the way to jail in pretty much any country not…<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
