Due to go into production in 2020, no doubt with a nice price tag.
We saw it at Milan last year. Its a stunning bike.

Any idea if they accept children in exchange?

It's a two-wheeled War Rocket Ajax (I don't know if that's a good thing or not).
I like it, but I think it looks more like a concept-bike than anything else.

I saw it at the excel show and tbh I wasnt that impressed. There were some very nice design features and it will always be a desirable bike but as a package it didn't work for me.
If I was giving Mr Agusta my money it would be a F3 800

At that angle it looks just pure Art-Deco. And not in a bad way either.

I like it. It's clearly an F3 800 but in new clothes. It's something different. Too many bike companies go for the safe option when they release a model. I'm sure this will sell.

I'm enjoying these 'special'/'parts bin' bikes...
Common chassis, engine and electronics fitted with differing suspension and styling to fill a different niche. Great idea - something Triumph are doing well

I doubt you'll call the MV a bin part special when they announce the price

It makes me want to call it that even more because I won't be the one owning it!

i'm actually same as Blade. Prefer the normal one. This looks a bit bulbous. But I can understand people loving it for the uniqueness.
