MV AGUSTA MAGNI FILO ROSSO - •• •••••• :- GIOVANNI MAGNI "We wanted to produce a new bike with an MV Agusta engine, so two years ago we started this project. This is the bike that can complete our story. Magni started with my father at MV Agusta, and now we have a new bike with an MV engine, and three cylinders. 1 think it's a really interesting bike for Magni and MV Agusta together. "The idea with the Storia was to create a bike that wasn't too expensive so we used the standard MV Agusta frame, and changed the tank, seat, wheels and so on. It has been successful, but some customers said that if you want to produce a real Magni MV you have to make a new frame, otherwise it's not authentic. "So that's what we did with the Filo Rosso. I wanted to remember the style of the old racing bike, especially the three-cylinder bike of Agostini. The first prototype was shown at EICMA in 2014, and the reaction was really positive [interest following that Milan Show unveiling crashed the Magni website], so we developed the bike throughout 2015, and started production this year. "It was a lot of work to develop all the parts. The frame looks like an old one but it is completely calculated for the new bike. The engine has a lot of power - 125bhp is a lot for this kind of bike! So you can't use an old frame design. Also the suspension looks old but it's completely new with modern hydraulics inside. "The engine is standard, because if I have to work for homologation it will be easier. But on this bike there is no airbox and no catalyser, because at the moment we are selling the Filo Rosso mainly to people who want to use it on the track or in demos. "Some customers want to use it on the road and have made one-off homologation. This depends on which country you are in. In Italy it is quite difficult, in other countries it is possible, and some like Canada it is easy. We are producing only to order, so we have a waiting list - at the moment of another five bikes. Assembly takes about three days, but only if we have all the parts. Normally we have to wait for something." 012 .

Grand Prix World Tour 2014
IVAO GP World Tour 2014 Grand Prix World Tour 2014 You are more than welcome on the Grand Prix World Tour 2014! The 2014 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season will be the 66th F.I.M. Road Racing World Championship season. Created by: Laszlo Geller (VID: 260564) IVAO GP World Tour 2014 What is Grand Prix? Boasting 63 years of history, MotoGP™ is the oldest of all motorsports World Championships - its first annual competition having been held in 1949.From the early 1900s motorcycle Grands Prix were held in various countries and in 1938 the predecessor to the current FIM, the FICM (Fédération Internationale des Clubs Motocyclistes), announced a European Championship. However, the start of the Second World War interrupted the competition and it then took some time after the war for fuel to become available, before a truly international series could be created. EARLY DAYS When the first formal World Championship was held in 1949 Grand Prix racing comprised four solo classes, with the inaugural ‘premier class’ 500cc title being won by British rider Leslie Graham on AJS machinery. Another Brit, Freddie Frith (Velocette) took the first ever 350cc World title, while Italians Bruno Ruffo (Moto Guzzi) and Nello Pagani (Mondial) were the first 250cc and 125cc World Champions respectively. A 600cc sidecar championship in the same season was won by Britons Eric Oliver and Denis Jenkinson with Norton machinery, though the sidecar category became a 500cc competition in 1951. The Italian manufacturers such as the aforementioned Mondial and Moto Guzzi firms, along with companies such as Gilera and MV Agusta, dominated the World Championships during the 1950s, reflecting the strength of the country’s motorcycle industry at the time.

CASE P2-2 a Speed Race: Benelli and QJ Compete in the International Motorbike Arena
Confirming Pages CASE P2-2 A Speed Race: Benelli and QJ Compete in the International Motorbike Arena arta Zhang, the young Chinese managing director of Italian motorcycle manufacturer Benelli, was sitting in her office in Pesaro, Italy, contemplat- Ming the purchase of the company by Qianjiang Group (QJ) in 2005. After the Chinese won a bid to acquire the company, QJ was off to a very good start: the local authorities had helped to create a welcoming environment, the two production lines were operational, new motorbikes were being projected by skilled engineers and the new scooters were very attractive. While this new relationship began well, many differences were emerging between China and Italy: cultural attitude, work methods, civil and fiscal rules and access to credit were some areas of dispute. Despite industrial investments in order to gain effi- ciency and reduce prices, penetration of Western markets was difficult due to a high level of competition, especially from Japanese brands. The European and United States press had welcomed the new motorbike models very enthusiastically, but sales results were not coherent with such technical success and with QJ’s plans; moreover, the technical departments in Pesaro and in China had not agreed on the industrial plan to produce a new motorbike, which was projected two years before, and already presented—with great success—to a specialist public. Mario Tonis, the press office director, interrupted Zhang’s thoughts with some good news: the motorbike tests last month had produced brilliant results with the press. Ultimate Motorcycling reported the following: Retaining the original Benelli staff and leaving all design and manufacturing still in Pesaro, the combination of Asian work ethic and Italian design flair has proven a potent combination, indeed.

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.

Stuart Parr Owns the Sickest Collection of Vintage Italian Motorcycles
February 12, 2018 Stuart Parr Owns the Sickest Collection of Vintage Italian Motorcycles By Sasha Levine Most people grow out of their childhood obsessions; Stuart Parr simply grew into his. What began with a wooden cigar box full of Corgi and Hot Wheels model cars has, over the course of three decades, evolved into several storage spaces worth of mint-condition vintage Italian motorcycles. “I’ve always been led visually,” says Parr, who—as a designer (Tribeca’s Marble House, Shelter Island’s Clearhouse), film producer (8-Mile, Southpaw), and trademark owner of 1930s interiors talents Jean-Michel Frank and Warren McArthur—has the CV to back it up. “Whether it’s Pininfarina, Bertoni, Scaglietti—the Italians design beautiful machinery.” This week, 35 of Parr’s 70-some-piece collection of ’60s and ’70s motorcycles will be on view in Miami’s Design District for the second edition of “The Art of the Italian Two Wheel,” which premiered in New York in 2015. In the exhibition, running from Feb. 16 through April 22 at 180 N.E. 40th Street, Parr presents a selection of his most prized models from Ducati, Benelli, Laverda, Magni, and MV Agusta, and, for the first time, shows off one of his own design. Working with constructor Giovanni Magni at Arturo Magni’s shop, Parr will debut his MV Agusta 750 Sport Tributo at the end of March in an edition of fifty. “I already have twelve people who told me they’d take [one],” he says. Ahead of the exhibition’s opening, we caught up with Parr to get a glimpse of his collection up close.
