Selected MV Agusta dealers across Europe will be showcasing the new Brutale 800 Dragster on 22, 23 March, and offering test rides.
The Varese-based manufacturer says the naked bike’s three-cylinder 125hp engine has been specially tuned for “rapid and lively responsiveness”.
The Dragster comes in two colour schemes: white or matt metallic grey, and is available from dealers, in an ABS braking version only, at a price of €13,490 (£10,999 plus OTR charges, according to one UK dealer).
The MV Agusta UK site still directs email inquiries to MotoGB as national distributor, despite the termination of the relationship in September last year, when MV announced it would be taking on the role itself.
The manufacturer’s main website in Italy lists four British dealers: BENNETTS MOTORCYCLES LTD, BARNSLEY, S70 1HS, tel 01226284293; MOTO FORZA ITALIA, SILVERSTONE CIRCUIT, NN12 8TL, tel 01327 858916 ; MOTO VELOCE LONDON, SW18 1SP, tel 0208 8759777; and MOTOCORSA LTD, ASHMORE, SP5 5AA, tel 01747811196.
