At the EICMA international motorcycle exhibition, 2012, organised by Italian motorcycling publication Motocyclismo, the MV Agusta Rivale 800 was awarded the title of ‘Most beautiful bike of the show’. The closest competitors to the Rivale 800 were Ducati Hypermotard SP and the BMW R 1200 GS. This recognition follows MV Agusta’s win in 2010 with the F3 675.
Giovanni Castiglioni, president and CEO of MV Agusta, said of winning the title: “For us, it is a further recognition and confirmation of how much energy and resources MV Agusta is dedicating to the constant development of new products.”
