Initiated in 2012, the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR) is a global initiative where men dress up dapper and ride their bikes (mostly cafe racers and bobbers) in groups to raise awareness and help fund the cure of prostate cancer.
Gaining more popularity and support by the year, this year’s ride is just around the corner, scheduled to take place on the 27th of September. As for the Malaysian DGR, riders are expected to start gathering as early as 7.00 am at the Royal Malaysian Air Force base in Sungai Besi, and roll-out at 9.00 am.
The convoy is expected to make its first stop at The Garage KL in Ampang, followed by Istana Negara at Jalan Duta, and finish at the Pavillion, Jalan Bukit Bintang at 2.00 pm.
At least 500 participants are expected to take part in this year’s DGRKL convoy, with stronger presence from female riders and celebrities, namely Altimet, Noh Hujan, Wak Doyok, Fauziah Latiff, former national football player Asmawi Bakiri and many others.
Organised by avid Cafe Racer enthusiast and architect, Kamarul Azahar bin Azman, Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride Kuala Lumpur 2015 has already received sponsorship from Fast Bikes Sdn Bhd (Triumph Malaysia), and Dato Razak Al Malique, the owner of Triumph Malaysia company said that he will be one of the riders on that day as well.
In an effort to celebrate their “iconic” partnership, Mercedes-AMG and MV Agusta collaborated and unveiled a one-off F3 800 sports bike at the 2015 IAA Frankfurt International Motor Show.
Inspired by the Mercedes-AMG GT S, the F3 800 features an AMG solarbeam yellow exterior paint job with black accents and AMG / MV Agusta badging. The bike also has a black leather seat with yellow contrast stitching.
As much as the technicalities are concerned, the MV Agusta F3 800 is powered by a three-cylinder 12-valve 798 cc engine which produces 148 PS at 13,000 rpm and 88 Nm at 10,600 rpm. The engine is paired to a six-speed gearbox with MV EAS (Electronically Assisted Shift).
While the bike’s combined fuel consumption stands at 9.4l/100km, CO2 emission is pegged at 224-216 g/km.
Weighing at 173 kg, the motorcycle is priced at 15,190 Euros (RM73,252) for the version equipped with EAS and ABS.
