In this week’s MCN, we took two bikes which adopt different approaches to sports touring around the MCN250 test route.

The traditional, relaxed, fully-faired sportsbike option comes in the form of a Ducati SuperSport, while the modern approach of adding 17-inch wheels to an adventure-style bike is represented by the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800.
