MV Agusta Dragster 800 RC Shining Gold Revealed; One-Off Model For A Special Customer

MV Agusta is more of a niche manufacturer with a lovely motorcycle portfolio. One of the models in the company's repertoire is the MV Agusta Dragster 800 RC. In typical MC Agusta fashion, it is a stunner to look at and has mental performance too. And if you are an MV Agusta owner and a nice one at that, MV Agusta will entertain special requests too. One customer requested for a special model of the Dragster 800 RC and MV Agusta heeded the call. The company took the Dragster 800 RC and made it even more stunning by draping it in mirror silvering and detail finish.

The next big global launch from MV Agusta will be the Superveloce 800 which will go into production next year. The Superveloce is based on the F3 and is a tribute to company's glory years in the 1970s when they were big players in the Moto GP. It will have the same 798 cc, 3-cylinder engine which will pump out close to 148 bhp and 88 Nm and will be paired to a 6-speed gearbox. However, folks at MV Agusta say that the engine will be completely re-mapped and will have a torquier mid-range with a lot more to play with at the top end.

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.
