SUZUKI
Katana
u uki, the uiet achiever of the
show this
year, instead of debuting a completely new machine
o ted instead to show off the new atana in et
black. With the silver colour scheme blatantly
trying to cash in on the original Katana 1100 -
and causing controversy along the way – the
blacked out Katana represents the modern
Suzuki with a more subtle approach. While the
bike is essentially a GSX-S1000 with a few horny
additions and a new body kit, there’s no denying
the angular look that was the original Katana
design was well worth bringing back to modern
motorcyclists.
MV AGUSTA
Brutale 1000 Serie Ono & F3 800
Superveloce
With the memorable motto of ‘motorcycle
art’ is it any surprise that MV Agusta took
home the award for the most beautiful bike
of
he bike in uestion - the rutale erie no
- not only took out the award for being pretty
though this writer thinks another talian
outfit actually deserved the gong... , it also lays
claim to the title of the world’s most powerful
roduction naked with a who ing

If you’re scratching your head and thinking ‘Hey,
wasn’t there another beautiful MV doing the
rounds recently
you re not mistaken. nter the

ith a conical carbon fibre fairing and tail section,
the u erveloce conce t is definitely eye-catching,
though we re not uite sold on the dual e it e haust
over that traditional - and very sexy - triple outlet the
F3 is known for.
egardless, this uni ue looking inter retation of
a supersport machine is apparently destined for
production mid-2019.
