MV Agusta's Verona show treats
The upcoming Verona show will be displaying a pair of one-offs from the Italian factory and its collaborators –the 'Ballistic Trident' and Dragster 'Blackout'.The custom-leaning Verona show will be held from January 20-22, and here's what visitors can expect from MV Agusta:
BRUTALE 800 RR BALLISTIC TRIDENT
This bike was first presented in December 2016 at the Hot Rod Custom Show in Yokohama. Commissioned by MV Agusta Taiwan to Winston Yeh, founder of Rough Crafts, pays tribute to the first supersports of MotoGP racing, characterised by streamlined ‘dustbin’ fairings.
DRAGSTER BLACKOUT
The Blackout is a collaboration between the Varese factory and Valter Moto Components, a manufacturer of high-end accessories specialising in racing components and official partner to the MV Agusta Reparto Corse racing team. There are also contributions from Tecnoart Sersan, creator of the graphic design and paintwork.
The bike was first seen at the 2016 EICMA motorcycle show.
Valter Esposito wanted to transform the Dragster into a "techno-café racer" inspired by the world of motorcycle racing and car tuning. With reference to the past, the design is characterised by the new handlebars and a front LED illumination activated through the side-mounted switches.
The Blackout has Valter Moto handlebars, footpegs, levers, oil tanks, fuel filler cap, number plate hanger and indicators, alongside a seven-inch full LED headlight and low-mounted dashboard.
The exhaust is an SC-Project: the S1, utilised on Leon Camier’s F4 in
the Superbike World Championship.
