MV Agusta Dragster 800 RR Pirelli Revealed

Feast your eyes on the new MV Agusta Dragster 800 RR Pirelli! Built in collaboration between MV Agusta and Pirelli, the Dragster 800 RR Pirelli is a limited edition model which was recently unveiled at the inauguration of the P Zero World at Monte Carlo. Typically a streetfighter in design, the Pirelli Dragster is everything that invokes motorcycling emotion in the hearts of the coldest non-motorcycle enthusiasts. The Pirelli Dragster will be manufactured in limited numbers and will have two striking colour combinations which are yellow/black and white/blue.

The seat of the motorcycle was created at the Castiglioni Research Centre and is exclusive to the Pirelli Dragster. It has double contrast stitching along with the flash sign of the 'Diablo' range. Also, the exhaust silencers get special ceramic based paint which is resistant to high temperatures. One can also purchase the Pirelli Dragster with coloured sides, based on the colour of your bike.

Parts of the motorcycle such as the tank slider and fairing have been manufactured using specially formulated rubber which is resistant to atmospheric and chemical changes. Similarly, the tyres too are the new Diablo SuperCorsa SPs, 120/70/R17 unit up front and a 200/55/ZR17 at the rear. The Dragster 800 RR Pirelli continues to use the current 798 cc liquid cooled 3-cylinder engine which pumps out about 140 bhp and 87 Nm of peak torque. The engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox with a slip assist clutch. Sure, MV Agusta has presence in India but do not expect the Dragster 800 RR Pirelli to come to India as the Dragster range is not sold in India.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production.
