MV Agusta has paid tribute to its United States connection by releasing a special edition 2017 Brutale 800 America model, based upon the classic America range from the 1970s.

Sporting a unique America livery, the 2017 Brutale 800 America is based upon the highly-acclaimed standard version of the three-cylinder MV Agusta Brutale 800.

To define the America, the MV Agusta design team wanted to match the exuberance of the country that bears its name in a special livery. From its rich culture, individuality, patriotism, innovation and the United States flag, the team set about bringing the passion of these elements into a never-before-seen metallic blue color scheme that catches the light with a shimmering iridescence.

And on the tank, a star-studded motif, like the one on the 1973 MV Agusta 750 S, takes the brand back to its glory days. Elsewhere, gloss black paintwork brings out the best in component details, such as the front fender, which boasts the MV Agusta logo.

Other reminders of the rarity of the motorcycle are found on the rear fender and side radiator panel with a decorated ‘America Special Edition’ logo. Even the America’s red seat has been specially designed to incorporate the livery theme, using gilt stitching to compliment the finish of the tank.

Limited to a production of only 50 units to match the 50 states of the USA, the pure exclusivity of the motorcycle can be seen in the triple clamp with the laser cut sequential production number, alongside the special edition logo. The same number can also be found on a specially framed certificate of authenticity that comes with each motorcycle.

The official and world-first unveiling of the Brutale 800 America will take place following the 4th of July Independence Day celebrations at Laguna Seca, California, for round eight of the Superbike World Superbike Championship on 7-9 July.
