Roadster
The America crest is slowly taking its quarters at MV-Agusta. Not as much as the RC decoration which has become sprawling, but each year sees a model wearing the colors of Uncle Sam. For 2019, the 800 Dragster RR is in the spotlight of the United States. As was before it the Brutale 800 RR … itself preceded by the 800 Brutale …. Which had taken over from the Brutale 750 of 2005 … Inspired by the 750 S of 1975. Time seems l ally of the brand, which continues to capitalize on its history.
The star-spangled banner floats over the Dragster. Particularly remarkable, this dress takes the ascendancy on the aggressive curves of the roadster. A manifest propensity to love the territory on the other side of the Atlantic, with details of which MV has the diligence. As ? The star-studded sticker, on the tank, exactly like the ’75 model. Or the resumption of the US colors on the rims, with the red hubs, the white rim, and the tips of the blue spokes. Of course, impossible to escape the red saddle stitched with gold. But have you noticed the glossy finish on the front fender and part of the radiator scoops? Where is also a discreet reminder “America Special Edition”.
Do not forget to flatter the rider, with a plate affixed to the triple tree where the name and the number are engraved in the series.
Limited series as often with MV. 200 copies of the Dragster America will be marketed, each accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
More than 40 years later, the mechanics are still a moment of delight. During this period, it will have doubled in power without increasing displacement. We can expect curtsies on its passage but certainly not a gesture on the price. Well, yes, but on the rise.
