"Tricolor, gold and that number one"… These are the three necessary and sufficient elements to make a commonplace – so to speak! – F3 800 a motorcycle"which evokes the exciting world of racing and the atmosphere of the tracks where the legend of the unbeatable MV Agusta Grand Prix motorcycles was forged".

MV Agusta bought by Fiat ?

Giovanni Castiglioni took advantage of the publication of the good sales figures of MV Agusta in the first quarter of 2014 (+ 22%, after a + 20% for the whole of 2013!) To deny the rumors of the takeover of his brand by the Fiat group. Chrysler.

"There is no negotiation going on, there never has been", assures the president of MV Agusta."My goal is to ensure that MV Agusta maintains significant levels of growth while remaining a family business based on the incredible passion my father passed on to me and my people.". Of which act.

Present in and registered, the Varese factory recalls that it was on his motorcycles that the great Agostini obtained most of his world titles at the time of the Continental Circus (6 in 350 cc and 7 in 500 cc).

Other parts, such as the license plate holder or the footrests, also make it possible to distinguish the motorcycle which will only be produced in 300 copies (numbered plate and booklet as proof). However, MV Agusta knows it very well: the rarity of a good – difficult to reproduce, ask the Chinese! – allows to substantially increase its value…

Another lever used by the luxury Italian motorcycle brand to raise the rating of this F3: increase the amount of work required to achieve it. That’s when Giacomo comes in, special series !

MV Agusta has indeed asked its former pilot, 71, with good footing (beautiful eyes even, see the photo gallery on the next page!), To affix his signature to each of the 300 tanks. In doing so, the manufacturer could legitimately claim that each paint of F3 800 Ago is perfectly unique..

Jules Cluzel, the first driver to have placed an MV Agusta on the first step of a world podium since Agostini himself (read our), therefore knows what to expect in the event of success in World Supersport … World Superbike ?! Business to follow on site: stay connected !
