[visordown.com] - A proper look at the Lewis Hamilton MV Agusta Dragster RR

[Ninjette Newsbot]

MV AGUSTA has just pulled the cover off its new limited edition Dragster RR LH44, which it’s created in collaboration with F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton.

Although this is the first time we’ve seen the complete bike, glimpses of it were shown in a recent teaser video featuring the AMG Mercedes driver doing a burnout and generally looking pretty cool.

There are no technical changes over the standard Dragster RR, but MV says the LH44 has received over 50 design details to make it stand out from the standard Dragster RR. It’s dripping in Ergal (an aluminium-zinc alloy) and carbon-fibre, which has been given a 3k opaque finish. The seat is also trimmed with quilted alcantara.

The Dragster RR LH44’s defining colours are red and white, and as you can see, it gets red wheels, plus a red trellis frame and matching engine protectors. The bike also carries some additional graphics inspired by Lewis Hamilton’s helmet and his race number - 44.

You’ll need to be quick if you want one, as production will be limited to 244 bikes. At the time of writing MV hasn’t announced a price.
