Valentino Rossi Scampers up Legendary 1.16 Mile Hill Climb on Yamaha YZR-M1 Jun 29, 2015 04:56 UTC Valentino Rossi Scampers up Legendary 1.16 Mile Hill Climb on Yamaha YZR-M1 WEST SUSSEX, UK and IWATA, Japan, June 28, 2015 – Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. (Tokyo: 7272) and Movistar Yamaha MotoGP rider Valentino Rossi participated for the first time in the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed (held in Goodwood, Britain) at the invitation of event organizer Lord March. The company, which is celebrating its 60th year, made a purpose-built garage the venue for its exhibit of successive generations of racing machines that trace the history of the Yamaha racing spirit. Bikes that attracted attention from long-standing European fans included a mix of new and historic bikes: the latest-model YZR-M1 (2015), and factory racers RD56 (1965) and YZR500 (0W23) (1975) ridden by star riders Phil Read and Giacomo Agostini who excited fans throughout the 60's and 70's as they dominated world championships. Rossi, who recently achieved the first place at the Dutch GP, 8th round of the 2015MotoGP world championship, showed no signs of lingering fatigue as he flew up the hill climb event on a YZR-M1 in the company's 60th anniversary colors, as well as performing in the four-wheeled racing machine demonstration. Participation in this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed represented an important opportunity for Yamaha Motor to write a new page in its 60-year corporate and racing history, as well as to embody the company's corporate mission of 'Kando* creation' and its brand slogan 'Revs your Heart'. *Kando is a Japanese word for the simultaneous feelings of deep satisfaction and intense excitement that we experience when we encounter something of exceptional value.

  • Mv Agusta 1972750S 750Cc 4 Cyl Dohc Sold
    MV AGUSTA 1972750S 750CC 4 CYL DOHC SOLD MV Agusta 1972 750S Frame # MV4c2140171 Engine #2140171 There is a motorcycle that consistently rises above the quarrelsome din, with even the most opinionated collectors agreeing it has earned a place on the mantle of motorcycling: the MV Agusta 750S. MV Agusta introduced the 750S in 1969. Enter the audacious MV Agusta 750S, a pleasant resignation from practicality and a deliberate detour into indulgence. The menacing big bore MV was a direct descendent from the machines the factory had been racing, effectively providing passionate motorcycle enthusiasts with the opportunity to own machines they’d seen the likes of John Surtees, Phil Read, Mike Hailwood, and Giacomo Agostini circulate roadracing circuits aboard. V.O.F. Yesterdays - www.yesterdays.nl - offi[email protected] - +31 495 54 60 54 | Page: 1 The 750S was at the vanguard of an era of sporting, performance-oriented motorcycles that took two- wheel sex appeal and rebelliousness to new heights. A daunting display of muscle and beauty, the MV Agusta 750S had four cylinders that drew air through four individual carburetors, each fitted with a polished, wide-mouthed velocity stack. The most pronounced statement however, was in the four individual chrome header pipes that swept back along the length of the machine-two on either side-ending in megaphones . The engine produced 69 horsepower, fed to the rear wheel through a 5-speed transmission and shaft drive that helped the machine reach a top speed in the neighborhood of 130 mph. A massive 4-cam front drum brake, as well as the drop, café-racer-style clip-on handlebars and race- inspired rearsets (which bent the rider into a semi-tuck) were a direct carry-over from MV Agusta’s racing endeavors.

  • Gli Amici Di Claudio 2014
    GLI AMICI DI CLAUDIO 2014 Varese, 6 May 2014 - At Schiranna, the home of MV Agusta, it's all coming together for the grand gathering to be held on 18 May at the legendary factory on the shores of Lake Varese. “GLI AMICI DI CLAUDIO” is a massive event that will see enthusiasts of Aermacchi, Cagiva and MV Agusta - three awesome motorcycle brands that have succeeded each other since 1950 - descend en masse on the factory near Varese. First started by Aermacchi, the tradition of excell ence was successfully continued by Cagiva and is now being carried forwards by MV Agusta with superb sales and racing results. Moreover, the production plant will also be opening its doors to fans of Husqvarna and Ducati, two brands that were bought, saved and put back on the road to success by the company headed by Castiglioni. Sunday 18th May will, then, be a day of festivities dedicated to the memory of Claudio Castiglioni, the President of MV Agusta and founder of Cagiva who passed away in summer 2011. In November 1978 Cagiva arose from the ashes of the glorious Aermacchi, which had been manufacturing at Schiranna since 1950. Cagiva continued the dual Aermacchi traditions of mass production and competitive racing, winning over the market thanks to models that proved to be outstanding on account of their excellent technical features, handling and style. Following the success of Cagiva, Claudio Castiglioni proved his unique entrepreneurial skills yet again by bringing the glorious MV Agusta brand back from the brink and relaunching it on the market.
