The MV Agusta Story

With 75 World Championships (riders and manufacturers), 270 Grand Prix victories, and more than 3000 International race wins, MV Agusta's competition record is unequalled amongst Italian motorcycle manufacturers.
MV's list of World Champions includes some of the greatest names in the sport, with Carlo Ubbiali, John Surtees, Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini and Phil Read winning multiple times.
Alongside the magnificent racing bikes, MV produced a wide range of street models, including the exotic four-cylinder bikes based on the Grand Prix racers of the 1950s and early 1960s.

After closing in 1977, MV Agusta was resurrected by Cagiva in 1997 and released the Massimo Tamburini-designed four-cylinder F4. Initially 750 cc, this evolved into 1000 cc and the Brutale series. In 2012 the three-cylinder F3 joined the F4 and a large range of models has grown from these two platforms.
With a 50 year passion for Italian motorcycles, Ian Falloon tells the full story of MV Agusta, covering all the street and racing models from 1945 to the present day.

The Book of the Classic MV Agusta Fours

MV Agusta's classic four-cylinder dominated Grand Prix racing for a decade from 1956. When it was replaced by the new triple in 1966, Count Agusta decided to make the Four available in limited numbers as a production bike. To prevent privateers converting it into a Grand Prix racer that may embarrass the factory, he stipulated it should be 600cc and have shaft final drive.
The touring 600 eventually evolved into the 750 Sport and GT, and finally the America, but MV Fours were always built in extremely small numbers.

As befit an engine that handed multiple World Championships to John Surtees, Gary Hocking, and Mike Hailwood, the technical specification was staggering, and remains so to this day. This magnificent engine was always at the heart of the MV Agusta, and it was this engine that created and sustained the legend.

This book features:
- a full description of the model development
- a look at the 600, 750 and America prototypes
- the racing history that led to the creation of the myth
- tips on riding and maintaining an MV four
- a guide to authenticity
- an analysis of the four-cylinder engine
- production numbers of the early fours.

MV Agusta F4 - The world's most beautiful bike

Born of the ardent enthusiasm of one man, Claudio Castiglioni, for sports motorcycles and created by the most ingenious two-wheel designer Massimo Tamburini, the world came to know the MV Agusta F4 in the autumn of 1997.
After 20 years of oblivion, the legendary marque for which Carlo Ubbiali, Mike Hailwood and Giacomo Agostini triumphed, made its comeback with this 4-cylinder in line front gear masterpiece, the classic "architecture" of the glorious Italian school that comprised GRB, CNA, OPRA, Rondine, Gilera, Benelli and MV.

With mechanics, cyclistics and body covered by numerous patents, another 10 models followed one after the other that always moved the qualitative limits of world motorcycle production further forward. A legend which, among a thousand mishaps, continues.

Those in the know have no doubts: the "most beautiful motorcycle in the world" is still the MV Agusta F4. This book, the first to be devoted to this subject, recounts this by now legendary story.

MV Agusta, les 4-cylindres classiques 1950-1980

Les MV Agusta quatre-cylindres occupent une place à part dans l'histoire de la moto. D'abord parce qu'elles ont dominé la course motocycliste pendant plus d'une décennie, pilotées par des légendes comme John Surtees, Giacomo Agostini et Mike Hailwood ; ensuite parce que les modèles commercialisés pour la route, dérivés de la compétition, étaient des motos chères, inaccessibles, exclusives et entourées d'une aura de mystère. Pour la première fois, un livre retrace en français l'histoire de ces motos mythiques.

Après avoir évoqué le brillant parcours de la marque en compétition, sous l'impulsion passionnée du comte Domenico Agusta, le spécialiste Ian Falloon lève le voile sur les MV quatre-cylindres de route qu'il passe en revue de façon extrêmement détaillée. Il en souligne les évolutions mécaniques et esthétiques, explique les choix techniques effectués par le comte Agusta et met en valeur l'exceptionnelle qualité de ces moteurs intégralement montés sur roulements.

De la première 600 cm³ de 1965 aux 750 Sport, America et 850 Monza des années 1970, pas un modèle n'échappe à son analyse approfondie, qu'il complète des versions spéciales comme celles mises au point par Arturo Magni.
Un ouvrage très documenté qui mêle aventures sportives et descriptions techniques autour d'une des marques les plus mythiques de l'histoire de la moto.
