Giacomo
Agostini and MV AGUSTA have created a legend in the world of
motorcycling. This association was born in 1965 thanks to the
intuition of Count Domenico Agusta who saw in the youngster
from Bergamo a valid team mate that could support the unforgettable
Mike Hailwood. In reality, Agostini never played that role but
instead immediately imposed himself to the eyes of the passionate
fans like the rising star of motorcycling. A few months were
sufficient to see him overcome his team mate during the Nurburgring
Gran Prix. This victory, obtained on the circuit considered
to be the most difficult of that time, marked the beginning
of an era that lasted seventeen years, in which period the union
Agostini-MV AGUSTA won fourteen world titles, ten victories
in the Tourist Trophy and over 250 race wins. But Agostini is
not just the rider with most victories in the history of motorcycling.
Ago is the ambassador of our sport and of MV AGUSTA in the world.
Favored by natural pleasantness ennobled by a film star-like
smile and look, the man from Bergamo has learned to create and
conserve universal and untouchable popularity. From unbeatable
rider to a star of the big screen, from successful team manager
(with the Cagiva GP) to disputed television opinionist, Agostini
today is also the inspiration of the new F4 AGO, a motorcycle
destined to become a tribute to motorcycle history.
The F4 Ago is a motorcycle of irresistible attraction, dominated
by technology and enriched by prestigious components capable
of offering concepts recalling the feats of MV AGUSTA and Giacomo
Agostini. Coloured obviously in red and silver and configured
only as a single seater, the bike represents an important chapter
in history to the eyes of the fans.
The
attention is immediately focused on the presence of Agostini’s
race number placed on a nostalgic yellow stickers on the side
fairings. This is where the trip into the glorious past of the
invincible "record machines" of Agostini's era and
the insurmountable technical features of today's MV AGUSTA begins.
The rediscovered historic brand placed triumphantly onto the
airbox is an invitation to ride. The seat is coloured in red
like those used by Agostini, and is coated in precious alcantara
whilst boasting the F4 brand embroided onto the upper cushion.
From the riding position, where anyone can easily find the correct
settings thanks to the new adjustable footrests, one enjoys
the most gratifying view possibly desired: new rev counter with
white background and blue figures which includes Agostini's
signature, and on the steering head (which is painted in sparkling
titanium like all the other parts in aluminium) an18kt gold
plate with the motorcycle's serial number. From this angle it
is still possible to distinguish the red that emerges from the
frame in memorial of the grand prix motorcycles.
In this Italian motorcycle-rider union, it's worthwhile mentioning
the "tricolore" that has a proud place on the single-seat
tail, where the identifying logo of this spectacular MV AGUSTA
creation is found. The three hundred owners that have the privilege
of sharing the emotion of owning an F4 AGO will receive a precious
kit created for this model, a certificate of authenticity signed
by Giacomo Agostini to guarantee consumer protection for this
limited edition.
