KUALA LUMPUR – An Umno division Youth head has become the first person in Malaysia to own the world’s most expensive motorcycle – the Ducati Superleggera V4.

Datuk Nazir Hussin Akhtar Hussin of Titiwangsa Umno reportedly ordered the RM888,000 superbike earlier this year, and was set to receive delivery in the third quarter of 2020.

The delivery, however, had to be delayed until year-end due to Covid-19, news portal Malaysia Dateline reported recently.

The Superleggera V4 was launched earlier this year, and is the only motorcycle in the world with its frame, swingarm and rims made entirely of carbon fibre. Only 500 units are available on the market.

Nazir Hussin's machine – which is, for now, the only unit in Malaysia – is the 210th unit rolled out of the Ducati factory. – The Vibes, December 14, 2020
