It’s been a busy year in the motorcycle industry, despite the problems created by the health crisis. For what it’s worth, 2020 had its fair share of exciting new bike releases, ranging from BMW’s R 18 Big Boxer to Ducati’s technologically advanced Multistrada V4.
Another big name of the bike scene, MV Agusta, was however uncharacteristically quiet. We say uncharacteristically because this year the brand is celebrating its 75th anniversary, so we were expecting a little more noise than was delivered. Sure, we had in recent months the release of the Rush 1000, and the announcement of a partnership with Akrapovic, but that was about it.
As the year is coming to a close, MV Agusta decided to make amends and announced the introduction of the Superveloce 75 Anniversario limited edition, created in honor of its own birthday.
On November 15, and for just 75 hours, the bike became available for reservations. Only 75 of them will be made, each boasting things like the colors of the Italian flag on the body, dedicated graphic, special rims, and red Alcantara rider and passenger seats.
Other highlights are the three-exit exhaust system (which can only be used on the track), a control unit with a dedicated map, numbered steering head aluminum plate, painted tail-cover, and red Alcantara pad.
The frame holds the same inline three-cylinder engine as the Superveloce 800, in this application developing 147 hp and capable of shooting the motorcycle to 240 kph (150 mph).
Not many hours are left in this campaign, and the website where the bike went live already reads in bold, capital letters, SOLD OUT. Available for all of Agusta’s markets, the bike was listed with a starting price of 25,000 euros (close to $30,000 at today’s exchange rates) on the home continent, but that didn't seem to scare people away, especially because those who wanted one only needed to pony up a deposit of 100 euros ($118).
