The Motor Bike Expo is underway in Verona, Italy right now, and MV Agusta is there showing off two of its special livery machines, to help grab headlines and to keep buzz moving around the Italian brand.

The first bike is the MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR “Ballistic Trident” that we have already shown you, and the other is today’s installment, the MV Agusta Dragster 800 “Blackout”.

As the name implies, the Blackout is built off the Dragster 800 platform, with copious amounts of black paint used. In other news, water is wet, right?

The design is pretty interesting though, and I mean that in the Chinese proverb sense of the word. There is a lot going on here, from the rain race tires, LED headlights and auxiliary lights (on the fork bottoms), pedal shaped front brake discs, and the addition of a “push to start” button.

We can also see a bevy of Valter Moto Components parts, as well as an SC Project exhaust (the tires are Pirelli too), thus making it an all-Italian affair.

MV Agusta has really been pushing the envelope with its Dragster customs, each one more lurid than the last, and since we are talking about the Blackout today, we suppose it’s mission accomplished for MV Agusta’s marketing department.
