ROAD NEWS MV’S UNOBTAINABLE ONE-OFF I talian marque MV Agusta is no stranger to producing special edition motorcycles, but its latest creation might just take the cake when it comes to exclusive bikes we’ll never get to ride in person. The 1 of 1 MV Agusta Brutale 1000RR Blue & White M.L is quite a mouthful, but as the 1 of 1 suggests, a one-off custom based off the rather brutal Brutale 1000 RR. The vision of MV’s Senior Designer, the Blue & While M.L drew inspiration from various models from MV Agusta’s storied past which used the blue and white colour scheme such as the “Brutale 910R Italia” which was a commemorative model produced to celebrate the Italian National Football Team winning the 2006 World Cup. The M.L also draws from the Brutale 800 “Italia” of 2013 and the various versions of the “Brutale America”. As we said, MV is no stranger to pumping out special edition models. Setting the M.L apart from the rest, the frame and swing-arm plates came in a matte gold finishing as well as the forged aluminium rims with black inserts. Don’t bother asking for an RRP on this thing. Being a one-off machine as the saying goes, “If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.” 80 KIWI RIDER
