MV AGUSTA - A myth without time
MV AGUSTA was born in the last, dark months of the Post-Second World War period when it became necessary to prepare for "after". It was built with the intention of saving the jobs of "Costruzioni Aeronautiche Giovanni Agusta" workers (the MV brand did not exist at the time) and of supplying Italy, during the period of reconstruction, with a means of transport that was simple and economic. Count Giovanni Agusta died prematurely in 1927 leaving the company, now solidly established in the world of aviation, in the hands of his widow, Countess Giuseppina and his first born son Domenico, who would prove to have a large part in the success of MV. In fact, the construction of motorbikes, that began for contingent necessity in 1945 when "Meccanica Verghera" was officially set up, gave Count Domenico the possibility to satisfy a passion for mechanics that he had cultivated since childhood. Without sparing costs, he lavished all available means on two-wheeled vehicles and sporting adventures to the extent that MV was present at all competitions and raced with the best riders of the fifties and sixties; Ubbiali, Provini, Surtees, Hocking, Hailwood, Agostini and Read. |
| MV AGUSTA won 75 World Brand and Rider championships, 207 Grand Prix and had 3,027 victories in various other disciplines. It also established itself in mass production, producing models that were technically and stylistically innovative and exclusive. The company became a legend that is honoured with having the most fascinating history in world motorcycling. MV AGUSTA did not survive the death of Count Domenico in 1971 but after over twenty years absence, under the guidance of the Castiglioni brothers and with the technical, stylistic and design "know how" of CRC - Cagiva Research Centre, managed by Massimo Tamburini, it returned to the forefront in 1997 with the launch of a new model, the MV F4 750 that immediately leapt to the top of its category as the ultimate expression of technology and design. Despite the fact that the F4 represents the most exclusive and elitist sporting vehicle, MV is a company that has always searched for perfection even in the smallest detail and now turns to its customers, offering them a vast range of limited edition bikes and accessories to make every MV totally unique. In order to make this service operational and under the guidance of CRC, MV AGUSTA Corse was born. | | |
