EICMA 2015 - MV Agusta Dragster RR LH44 revealed

MV Agusta has already impressed the masses with its Dragster RR but now they’ve taken it a step further by creating an exclusive, limited edition MV Agusta Dragster RR LH44. Their special relationship with F1 racing has inspired them to release a new Dragster model that carries the name of the three time world champion, Lewis Hamilton.

Hamilton played an integral role in choosing the livery of the LH44 which consists of a pearl white paint scheme and panther logo, both of which are taken from his helmet. His 44 race number graces both sides of the bike including the ignition key. The seat is an Alcantara quilt pattern, and many of the parts, such as the brake lever, handlebars, fuel filler cap, and brake master cylinder cover, are constructed of Ergal (7075 aluminum alloy) in a special anodized red finish. Now that’s some customisation that we like. It also carries over to the logos, frame, footpegs and spoked wheels. To give it ultra-cool look, there are contrasting matt black components: the side stand, frame and foot peg brackets.

MV Agusta says, “They are both radical and extreme as regards style, are obsessive about detail, exuberant, bold and fear no rivals.” The LH44 will get a limited run of only 244 hand-built motorcycles. Staying true to the F1 theme, much of the carbon fiber bodywork bears a matt 3K finish and Hamilton’s 44 race number is displayed in a primary position on the front of the motorcycle along with Hamilton’s signature panther icon plus his autograph.
