Custom Bikes Of The Week: 18 June, 2017
A muscular Honda CB750 cafe from Belgium, a factory custom program from MV Agusta, a striking debut build from Motoism of Munich, and two new design concepts from Scrambler Ducati. Now where did we put our wallets"
MV Agusta RVS #1 I?ve always viewed MV Agusta as the Lamborghini to Ducati?s Ferrari. Like the raging bulls, the MV design language leans heavily on testosterone and hypertrophy. And, as such, their products tend to be rare on the streets but maintain cult status. Topping their lineup, MV has just pulled the wraps off their angriest creation yet, the RVS #1.
Powered by a 150 horsepower triple and tipping scales at a scant 350 pounds (160 kilos), RVS #1 is the first bike to roll out of the Cascina Costa marque?s ?Reparto Veicoli Speciali? program. The styling on this first example is familial, bearing a close resemblance to the Brutale 800, but the RVS series of bikes are all hand-built units tailored to the whims of the client. Helping keep the weight down, RVS #1 features titanium plates within its tank, a titanium exhaust system and aluminum panels are incorporated into the lateral structure of the steel trellis frame. RVS #1 is already spoken for. The owner is the same MV enthusiast that plunked down for the Zagato F4 and number 12 is slotted for Giovanni Castiglioni?the current CEO of MV Agusta. But if you?ve got the cash and the inclination, a quick call to your local dealer could land a limited-run RVS bike in your dream garage, too. [More]
