MV-Agusta

Racing bikes are designed, first and foremost, to go fast. But, somewhere along the way, some of them manage to be just incredibly beautiful as well as hugely successful. Sometimes, the physical beauty is tied up with the incredible engineering involved. This is our top 10 of the most beautiful racing motorcycles ever produced.

At one point in history, all motorbikes were naked, but that all changed as the 1980s came around. Putting an aerodynamic fairing on was a good way of getting more performance without the costly development of the engine. Fast forward to the 2000s, and manufacturers are busy taking the fairings off their superbikes to create naked streetfighter models, which are much more practical and suitable for everyday use, while being just as dynamically impressive. This is our list of the top ten naked streetfighters available in 2022.

Not all of us can afford high-end sports bikes but, equally importantly, not many of us could ride them properly, either. Lowering the asking price brings a lot more bikes into the equation and most of them are brilliantly user-friendly while still offering all the thrills you could wish for. Talking about sports bikes is quite difficult because what exactly is a sports bike? Is it a bike with a fairing or can a naked bike be a sports bike also? For the purpose of this list, we’re assuming the latter, just to make you think a bit.

Speed: the one statistic that really gets peoples’ hearts racing, whether you can use it or not! Since the dawn of motorcycling, speed has been the only obsession worth talking about and the top speeds of production motorcycles have climbed steadily over the decades. At one point, the manufacturers were scared things were getting too fast and feared legislation would clip their wings, but that seems to have gone by the wayside since Kawasaki launched the H2. Here’s our list of the top ten fastest motorcycles, whether they are still in production or not.

MV Agusta is a name long-associated with exotic motorcycles and one such example is the F3 800 Reparto Corse (a.k.a F3 800 RC), a limited edition of the already phenomenal F3 800. Only 500 of these went on sale in 2018 worldwide and if you’re drooling over it, we’ve got some good news.

This is #177 of the 500 F3 RCs produced and is up for grabs at Iconic Motorbike Auctions. The bike has some pretty mouth-watering aftermarket parts to help you attain permanent bragging rights.

Contrary to popular belief, money CAN buy happiness and, if you’re a motorcycling enthusiast like we are, chances are happiness equals adrenaline-pumping motorcycles. Now that we’re on the same page, we’re pretty sure you’ve wondered (at least once in your life) about the bikes you’d buy if money was not a factor (read limitation) and that’s exactly what this article will help you discover. So, here are the five most expensive motorcycles that money can buy in 2022.

Ayrton Senna was and is one of the all-time great race car drivers in the world of Motorsport and F1, with millions of fans. His popularity wasn’t just limited to car fanatics.

One such fan of the legendary racer was Claudio Castiglioni, the then-chairman of MV Agusta, who met Ayrton at the launch of the SENNA Foundation. Post their interaction, the two marques became close friends and collaborated to unveil a very special MV Agusta F4 750 Senna edition.

Only 300 of these Italian masterpieces were ever made and the #288 has popped up at Iconic Motorbike Auctions, meaning it’s available to bless your garage. Lets take a closer look at the bike.

MV Agusta CEO Timur Sardarov is the most prominent Russian in motorcycling at the moment and he is speaking out against Russian President Vladimir Putin and the whole Ukraine invasion.

Echoing the wailing three-cylinder MV Agusta race bikes of the early 1970s, the Magni Italia is also a tribute to Arturo Magni, MV’s legendary race team manager during the team’s successful period in GP racing in the ’60s and ’70s.

MV Agusta announces two new adventure bikes, one powered by a 550cc parallel twin engine sourced in China and the other powered by a 930cc triple-cylinder engine. Few other details released at the present time.

When a manufacturer known for its screaming three- and four-cylinder engines and multiple Grand Prix World Championships makes a big thing out of a launch of an e-Scooter, then you know things will never be the same again.

An adventure bike is the must-have model in any manufacturer’s line-up (although try telling that to Kawasaki!) and MV Agusta is the latest to follow the herd onto the road less travelled.

MV Agusta celebrate their most famous rider with the ultra limited-edition Superveloce.

It’s not a new model, just a limited edition version of the admittedly brilliant Brutale 1000. But what is the connection with the Nurburgring circuit in Germany?

As the World Supersport Championship announces that 800cc triple-cylinder bikes will be eligible to run alongside the 600cc four-cylinder bikes, MV Agusta unveils an updated and track-focussed F3 RR.

MV Agusta, the RVS #1 delivers outstanding stoplight-burner performance courtesy of its 140-horsepower engine, and it comes with all the electronic ride-control features you’ll need to keep this beast under control. Unique styling and an air of exclusivity serve as the icing on the visual cake to give the #1 a surplus of curb appeal that’ll make it stand out in any crowd.

Italian heavy MV Agusta fills out its hyper-naked range with its drag-tastic, new-for-2020 Brutale 1000RR. This new liter-sized Brutale follows the design characteristics established by its predecessors, and is absolutely saturated with performance-enhancing features and top-shelf electronics to make it a threat on both street and strip. Windtunnel-tested bodywork finishes the package in style and contributes to its overall speed and stability to show a synergy in the design that is somewhat rare for a street-legal machine.

Curators of the most exclusive planes, yachts, motorbikes, cars, and many more, Hong Kong-based “TheArsenale” sparked a fancy new collaboration with MV Agusta to bring out a spunky Orange Dragster 800RR special-edition machine.

It’s called: TheArsenale x MV Agusta Brutale 800RR. In a pure exclusive visual treat by the folks who make “Motorcycle Art”, this Dragster 800 RR gets new striking orange and black livery that showcase the partnership complete with orange-colored levers, crash mushrooms, and clutch cover.

MV Agusta built the Rush 1000 with a single purpose in mind: drag strip domination. The factory took its 200-plus horsepower Brutale engine and mounted it in a bike that, in true dragster tradition, carries only what is needed to function. No weight is wasted on superfluous equipment or body panels to convert as many of those ponies as possible into brute acceleration. Those weight-savings measures extend to the engine and include the use of titanium to reduce the reciprocating mass of the mill and deliver faster revs. The electronics suite is all about that drag-tastic life to deliver the safety and control you’ll need to manage the power and keep the thing rubber-side down.

Italian marque MV Agusta throws its hat into the retro-tastic ring in 2020 with its Neo-Classic Racer model, the Superveloce 800. Clearly a modern machine, the factory managed to incorporate the flavor of the old café racers to deliver an interesting blend indeed. A high-compression triple delivers 148 horsepower with an electronics suite that gives the machine multiple personalities to match your own attitude and skillset. Make no mistake, this is a racebike through and through, but one built for the road rather than the racetrack, just like the original café racer bikes.

2020 is a new decade, a new year for all of us to leap and move forward fearlessly. To re-invent and to make room for things which really matters, things that will uplift you physically, mentally, and spiritually.
