MV Agusta Sport description

Great and rare opportunity to own a MV Agusta factory works bike and in incredible condition.

This bike was one of the 71 bikes included in the book, The MV Agusta Collection. In 2012, the famous collector Gary Kohs decided to pass his personal collection of machines along to a new owner. Choosing to sell the machines at auction, The MV Agusta Collection was created to explain in detail each machine available.

"There is no doubt that Italian motorcycle design is among the best in the world, and MV Agusta probably stands above all Italian motorcycle makers. Known for its Grand Prix performance, MV has won 270 Grand Prix motorcycle races, with legendary riders such as Giacomo Agostini, Mike Hailwood, Phil Read, Carlo Ubbiali, Gary Hocking and John Surtees. And the company was formed just after World War II. Gary Kohs is so passionate about the MV Agusta marque that he became dedicated to amassing a broad and deep representation of MVs in his personal collection. Yet, in 2012 he decided to pass the machines as a collection along to a new owner. Choosing to sell the machines at auction, in one lot, this catalog was created to explain in detail each machine available."

Below you will find the details of this bike copied from The MV Agusta Collection.

While MV Agusta built many motorcycles with sporting potential, actual factory-built race bikes were rare machines. When the factory constructed racing machines, they affixed a brass tag to the engine case. In Lusso trim, this 150 SS was equipped with a front telescopic hydraulic ford, and a rear swingarm with hydraulic shock absorbers. The brakes were enlarged from the Sport "E" model; the front grew from 130mm to 180mm, while the tear was enlarged from 130mm to 150mm. The Lusso was fitted with a longer seat cushion, allowing the rider to assume a more sporting stance while on the vehicle. The engine was the same as the Sport "E" in that it generated 9 horsepower at 6500 rpm. Though the bike didn't have an excess of power, it only weighed 92Kg, giving it nimble handling. The model included in this collection was also produced in some different "Race" versions.

The MV Agusta F3 Serie Oro is distinguishable by its gold-painted swingarm and aluminum wheels, and gold finish on air intakes, vents and a gold chain, minimalist graphics and red-painted mirrors.

Did Metallica Ask MV Agusta to Remove “Enter Sandman” from Dragster Teaser Video?

Wed, 22 Jan 2014

Earlier this week, MV Agusta released a video teasing its upcoming Dragster 800 model that prominently featured the familiar introduction to Metallica‘s 1991 hit “Enter Sandman“. That original video is no longer available on YouTube, replaced by a new version with a more generic heavy metal soundtrack. It looks like MV Agusta did not secure the license to use “Enter Sandman” in the video, forcing the company to replace the original video with new, and likely license-free, music.
