A historic air of elegance wafts through the streets as the MV Agusta Superveloce 98 Edizione Limitata cruises through town on its "Rosso Verghera". This special edition is far more than just a motorcycle; it is a riding tribute to the brand's iconic first model, which left a significant footprint in motorcycle history despite the turmoil of World War II.

History captured in the paint

When Domenico Agusta recognized the need for affordable transportation in the war-torn 1940s, the first MV Agusta motorcycle, equipped with a 98 cc single cylinder, was born.  A burgundy hue, the choice of which may have sprung from an aristocratic whim, clothed this pragmatic yet stylish vehicle. 

Today, 80 years later, the MV Agusta Superveloce 98 Edizione Limitata shines in similarly iconic splendor.  The exclusive “Rosso Verghera” paint is meticulously hand-applied to accentuate the metallic pigments, creating a stunning, high-end look.

 

A technological powerhouse with a historical touch

Limited to 300 numbered units, the modern rebirth of this classic is intended to be not only a visual ode to the past, but also a technological masterpiece. 

Powered by a 798 cc three-cylinder engine that delivers 147 PS (145 hp, 110 kW) at 13,000 rpm and a maximum speed of 240 km/h, the Superveloce 98 combines technical sophistication with historic charm. 

Elaborate details such as DLC-coated cams, titanium valves and a counter-rotating crankshaft mechanism optimize efficiency and performance.  Dry weight is listed at 173 kg (381 pounds); with Racing Kit, it’s just 165 kg.

 

Luxury that gets under your skin

This motorcycle aims to embody luxury in every detail: a combination of a 5.5-inch TFT color display, ride-by-wire technology (with four riding modes) and a recalibrated Continental MK100 ABS make the Superveloce 98 a work of Italian engineering.  Add to that exclusive features like titanium intake and exhaust valves, Cruise Control, Launch Control, FLC (Front Lift Control), Bluetooth, GPS and the MV Ride app for navigation mirroring, as well as app-controlled engine and rider assistance setups.  Even the gas cap adorns itself with a leather strap, while the driver and passenger can sit on Alcantara seats.

The finest components are also used for the brakes.  PR 16/19 radial brake cylinders and Stylema M4.30 calipers were installed on the front wheel.

 

The special features of the “98 Edizione Limitata

The Superveloce 98 Edizione Limitata inspires with some special features, which should make it a sought-after collector’s item.  A motorcycle limited to 300 pieces, with handcrafted details and a significant history that can be felt in every fiber of the bike.  With the “98 Edizione Limitata” badge placed both on the rear and on the upper part of the machine, as well as the racing kit including exhaust system by Arrow, special mapping for the ECU and a custom motorcycle cover, MV Agusta launches a very exclusive motorcycle.

 

Conclusion

The MV Agusta Superveloce 98 Edizione Limitata is not just a motorcycle; it is a piece of history that meets cutting-edge technology, embodying a passion that remains undimmed over eight decades.  With an exclusive design and technological innovations that appeal to collectors and motorcycle enthusiasts alike, MV Agusta stays true to its lineage by combining progress with tradition.
