like the standard ‘dragster’ the engine is a three cylinder power unit that unleashes 140 hp at 13,100 rpm. changes have been made to the electronic injection, which has an advanced six injector system and a reshaped fuel tank interior that provides the necessary space and keeps everything hidden from view. the graphics from hamilton’s helmet set the tone for the color scheme of the motorcycle, where it features a white color scheme and the panther logo, which was also sewn into the quilt finished saddle. the three-time world champion’s number 44 also makes an appearance on the exhaust manifolds and gas tank. the MV agusta lewis hamilton ‘dragster RR LH44’ will be limited to only 244 bikes. check out more designboom’s coverage of 2015 EICMA here.
