Dubbed the MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR LH44, or better known as ‘Naked Perfection’ to Hamilton, this motorcycle is the next brainchild of the race car driver and Italy based manufacturing company MV Agusta.

 

Following the success of the Dragster 800 RR LH44 and the F4 LH44, the new model MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR LH44 will also carry the British driver’s initials with pride, and “dedicated technical and aesthetic features.”

This formidable 140 hp, 172 kg beast also features what is reportedly the lightest engine on the market and has advanced technology like the counter rotating crankshaft and quick-shift system EAS 2.0.

 

Based off the Brutale 800 RR, the motorbike is then given a bold makeover with the design done by both Hamilton himself and the MV Agusta Design Center. The two-wheeled machine is given a splash of colour - a blend of black, red and white - drawn from the “iconic Lewis Hamilton style”, while the graphics are further enhanced with the Lewis Hamilton logo and his race number 44.

 

According to the press release, the LH44 is also made with specially designed “carbon fiber components, unique colour scheme graphics and a truly exclusive ceramic-based coating that is resistant to ultra-high temperatures on the exhaust system.” There will also be numerous accents of machined aluminum billet on the bike such as the brake and clutch levers, and the fluid reservoir caps.

 

The LH44 is expected to go into production in June 2018, and each of the 144 bikes will be identified as belonging to the limited-edition line through the progressive number on the instrument cluster fairing and a certificate of authenticity.
