    MV 800 RR Ballistic Trident - So Ugly It comes With a Face Covering Paper Bag

    This has to be the ugliest bike I have ever seen. What the hell were they thinking?
    A front fairing that would not look out of place on a Vespa scooter, and a tank cover modeled on a basset hounds ears.

    Someone paid to have that done? I wonder how much they would pay someone to ride it?
    The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.

    I think it is very cool and would sure own and ride it. Same with the MV Zagato F4, not for everyone but the fact only 1 or 2 exist makes it more desirable.

    Some beautiful components and craftsmanship. Also no headlight, no mirrors....a special bike, the designer went a different way but can be proud of the creation in my opinion.

    That reminds me just a few weeks ago I saw an MV Agusta Brutale 800 converted into "scrambler" with removed plastic bits and knobby tyres for $18k. I ain't joking!

    Someone actually bought it too, apparently!


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Turned up recently on Pipeburn or similar.

    I agree it is pointless and a bloody awful front end. Be OK without that.

    It looks like a nod to the dustbin fairings of old.

    Yeah - that's how the builder tried to justify it ...........


    A nod to Rachel Welsh's boobs of old I can understand, but that bike .... no.
