S E F M / / / / / / / What happened at EICMA? Forget Christmas, for European bikers the most wonderful time of the year is the EICMA show in Milan. Motorcyclists are showered with gifts of new models (not just the two-wheeled kind) and fresh innovations on rotating stages and under rays of artificial light. Donovan Fourie and friends take a look at what was on show… There was certainly some poignancy to this year’s events after the 2020 edition was cancelled due to COVID-19, but after fears manufacturer’s would stay away and instead save cash by retaining the online platforms it adopted for launches last year, nearly all were present and correct on 25 - 28 November. Notable absentees were Ducati and BMW. A couple of the week’s biggest bikes were debuted online during EICMA week, getting on the hype train without the expense of running a massive display at the show. Ducati is in Eicma’s back yard and yet, they chose to rather launch their new Panigale online… Our lot takes a look at what was presented and what we can expect in the near future... MV Agusta Superveloce Ago Wins Most Beautiful Bike Of EICMA 2021… Just look at it! Since 2005, Italian media outlet Motociclismo has held the Most Beautiful Bike Of The Show contest at EICMA. Attendees and readers vote on the contestants throughout the four-day show, with organizers tallying the totals. This year, MV Agusta’s rare special-edition Superveloce Ago took home top prize, leading a pack of all-new and heavily-updated bikes. The Superveloce Ago enjoyed a comfortable margin of victory in 2021 with 47.2 percent of the votes. The Aprilia Tuareg followed with only 19.4 percent while the Moto Morini X-Cape only collected 7.9 percent of the ballots. The rest of the list consisted of the Honda NT1100, Triumph Speed Twin, Kawasaki Z650RS, Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail, Fantic 450 Rally, Royal Enfield 450, and SWM Six Days 500. While the top ten contains 10 different manufacturers, another Italian-made bike emerges as the winner. In the 16 years that Motociclismo has hosted the competition, only Ducati and MV Agusta have walked away with the Most Beautiful Bike title. MV won the first contest in 2005 with the Brutale 910 R, regained the crown in 2007 with the Brutale 1078RR, and racked up a third win with the F3 in 2010. In 2012, the Rivale 800 topped the bike beauty contest and the Brutale 1000 Serio Oro brought home a fifth victory for the Schiranna factory.
