Motorcycle specifications MV-AgustaSuperveloce 800 édition limitée 98 2025 Epistolary

"Dear Count Agusta,
In this year 1945, when our nation and so many others are finally emerging from this troubled period in history, I welcome the arrival of your 98 moped. I have no doubt that this creation will bring joy to our streets and prosperity to this branch of your company."

...79 years later

"Dear Mr. Boggryte,
We were surprised to find your letter in the archives of Count Agusta. Our reply coincides with the arrival on the market of the distant descendant of this 98. MV-Agusta is pleased to present the limited edition 98 800 Superveloce."

"Gentlemen of MV-Agusta communications,
What a relief for me to receive some news, after so many years. Age and time have withered my memories, but I've never forgotten that red-bordeaux-plum color of your first model. Your great years of competition with the talented Giacomo Agostini encrusted your red-orange / gray-silver colors in legend, but nothing in my eyes can oust the first color of the one that was almost called Vespa."

"Dear Mr. Boggryte,
Your enthusiasm is exceptional. As is that of our team who worked on the presentation of this model. MV-Agusta will offer this special series in 300 examples. Its 'Rosso Verghera' coloring, crossed by an 'Argento Ago' stripe, will appeal to fans past and present. It is meticulously applied by hand in several coats, with a two-component matt base, followed by a varnished finish to highlight the metallic pigments."

"Hello gentlemen,
I've been keeping a close eye on your models, and these 300 examples are, please believe me, a regular occurrence for your teams. Triple-hundred limited editions are a regular feature of each of your models. I'm sure MV-Agusta has planned a few improvements with a view to keeping enthusiasts' verve alive."

"Esteemed Mr. Boggryte,
May we call you Martin? We think you have a rightful place in our big family.
Indeed, this 800 Superveloce 98 has a special feature. A laser-engraved plaque featuring the nativity of this motorcycle is affixed to the right-hand side of the upper fork crown.
As with all our limited-edition Superveloce models, we'll be issuing a special box containing a matching seat cover, protective cover, certificate of authenticity and racing parts. The ECU and triple Arrow exhaust add 6 extra horsepower to our neo-retro sports bike, lower its weight from 173 to 165 kilograms, and further sensualize its silhouette."

"Hello, gentlemen,
For me, the original 147 hp of the 800 Superveloce is already thundering. Although I confess to another admiration for your forthcoming 1000 Superveloce and its monstrous power.
I'd be grateful if you'd refrain from making gravelly allusions concerning this motorcycle. In my day, virtues were hidden and techniques rudimentary. However, I'm not above appreciating the modern designs installed on this model. I like to mention the Brembo Stylema brake calipers, the 14-centimeter color TFT screen, the traction control, what you call Riding Modes - 4 if I'm not mistaken, your angle-sensitive ABS, the Kineo rims with their distinctive spokes... We didn't dare think about that throughout the last century."

"Dear Martin,
All of us at Schiranna think that you should admire this model up close. It will give you the opportunity to appreciate our work and that of our equipment suppliers. In this respect, the tires chosen highlight the 150 years of Pirelli. Martin, did you notice the special inscription on the sidewall of the tires?
We'd like to send you a few shots of the 98 alongside the 800 Superveloce, so that you have the best possible souvenir.
Please accept, Mr. Boggryte, the assurance of our most respectful regards on your behalf."
