The city streets of Milan, Italy, are about to get a lot safer thanks to MV Agusta. The famed Italian motorcycle manufacturer has donated four units of the Turismo Veloce Lusso SCS to the Milan Police force. Apart from giving police officers totally capable and powerful patrol vehicles, the new bikes elevate the overall style and authority of the police force.
That being said the new MV Agusta Turismo
Veloce Lusso SCS patrol bikes make for a fine addition to the police force's
Nibbio Motorcycle Unit, with Nibbio translating to kite. Interestingly, the
fleet consists of the four aforementioned new bikes, as well as two other
Turismo Veloces and two Rivale 800 naked streetfighters. Unsurprisingly, the
police-issued MV Agusta Turismo Veloce Lusso SCS bikes are slightly different
than those you can pick up from your nearest MV Agusta dealership.
For starters, the patrol bikes are clad in
Italian State Police blue livery, with red, green, and white graphics akin to
that of the Italian flag. On top of this, the bikes come equipped with
color-matched side panniers as well as a police siren fitted onto the bike's
tail. Apart from these slight modifications, the patrol bikes retain all the
sophisticated electronics found on the standard bike, as well as the
fire-breathing 800cc inline-three cylinder engine that's sure to send shivers
down the spine of any criminal looking to evade capture.
