Mv Agusta 1954 Bialbero 125Cc 1 Cyl Dohc Sold MV AGUSTA 1954 BIALBERO 125CC 1 CYL DOHC SOLD MV Agusta 1954 123.5cc Bialbero Racing Motorcycle Frame no. 150090 Engine no. 150163 ‘The Verghera marque’s unequalled record of success during the 28 years from 1948 to 1976 won them over 3,000 races and 37 World Championships… The list of riders who raced MV machinery reads like a Who’s Who of motorcycle sport, with Cecil Sandford, Les Graham, Bill Lomas, Carlo Ubbiali, John Surtees, Luigi Taveri, Gary Hocking, Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini and Phil Read prominent among them.’ – Mick Walker, ‘MV Agusta’. Although best known for their multi-cylinder four-strokes, multiple World Championship-winning MV-Agusta built lightweights throughout its manufacturing career and in its early days listed small two-strokes and V.O.F.

The racing 125cc two-strokes that first appeared in 1948 were a major success, winning the arduous Milan- Taranto road race in 1950, ’51 and ’52, but at World Championship level the MVs were outclassed by the four-stroke FB-Mondial with its twin-overhead-cam engine. Count Agusta’s response was to hire Gilera’s chief designer Piero Remor together with its chief mechanic, Arturo Magni in 1950. However, the new Remor-designed 125cc four-stroke was not an immediate success, scoring only a single points-paying finish in 1950 and just one podium result in ’51, the latter courtesy of new arrival Les Graham. It was only following Mondial’s withdrawal from racing that MV bagged its first 125cc World Championship, Cecil Sandford taking the riders’ title in 1952. MV’s 125 had been extensively redesigned for ’52, gaining telescopic forks, full-width alloy hubs and a sleeker fuel tank, while maximum power increased to 15bhp. Les Graham’s influence saw the 125 equipped with Ernie Earles’ leading-link front forks for 1953 and these also found their way onto the 500cc four. Graham won the Ultra-lightweight TT at the Isle of Man that year but his tragic death a few days later dealt a severe blow to the team’s fortunes; NSU works rider Werner Haas went on to take the riders’ title in the 125cc class but MV did at least have the satisfaction of retaining the manufacturers’ crown. NSU continued its dominance of the 125cc class in 1954, works rider Rupert Hollaus being crowned World Champion at the year’s end with MV’s Carlo Ubbiali runner-up. The German factory’s withdrawal at the end of the ’54 season left no credible opposition in the lightweight classes for MV, which duly scooped its second 125cc World Championship in 1955, winning all six Grands Prix that year. Carlo Ubbiali’s five wins ensured the Italian of his second world title. For the next five years the combination of Ubbiali and the 125 MV would prove almost unbeatable. The Italian would secure four more 125cc World Championships before retiring at the end of the 1960 season, an almost unprecedented run of success only interrupted in 1957 by Mondial-mounted Tarquinio Provini. Ubbiali also claimed the 250 world title for MV in 1956, ’59 and ’60. Ubbiali’s retirement coincided with MV’s withdrawal from serious involvement in the lightweight classes at international level, but what an extraordinary achievement it had been. Like their rivals, MV was not in the habit of selling works bikes to privateers, but the Monoalbero single camshaft production racer was available. In 1954 Webster had the MV rebuilt around an Ernie Earles frame and in this form it was ridden successfully by Bill Lomas. Several over-the-counter monoalbero MV racers were sold to other enterprising privateers. This MV is a production monoalbero fitted with the rare factory’s twin-cam conversion. There were only 15 works Bialbero twin-cam conversion sets of this kind produced, promoted by Arturo V.O.F. Yesterdays - www.yesterdays.nl - offi[email protected] - +31 495 54 60 54 | Page: 2 Magni. They were only available from MV Agusta and officially only to be used for the official World Championship from 1954 . They were only been sold to the very best private racers. MV Agusta wanted to get the dominance in this racing category of 125cc at that time. Restored in 1998, the machine is still in a wonderful “ready to race” condition. There is an article and photographs of this very MV Agusta Bialbero in the September 2017 issue of the German “Motorrad Classic”, a leading monthly magazine for classic motorcycles.

  • Motorcycle Crash Causation Study: Volume 2—Coding Manual
    Motorcycle Crash Causation Study: Volume 2—Coding Manual PUBLICATION NO. FHWA-HRT-18-039 FEBRUARY 2019 Research, Development, and Technology Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center 6300 Georgetown Pike McLean, VA 22101-2296 FOREWORD The Motorcycle Crash Causation Study, conducted through the Federal Highway Administration Office of Safety Research and Development, produced a wealth of information on the causal factors for motorcycle crashes, and its corresponding Volumes provide perspectives on what crash-countermeasure opportunities can be developed. This study used a crash- and control-case approach developed from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development protocols, which as discussed in this report, has provided insights into more than 1,900 data elements that may be associated with motorcycle-crash causation. The research team produced a final report along with a 14-volume series of supplemental reports that provide an overview of the study and a summary of its observations, the data-collection forms and coding definitions, a tabulation of each data element collected from each form, and selected comparisons with previous studies. It is anticipated that readers will select those Volumes and data elements that provide information of specific interest. This document, Volume 2—Coding Manual, provides the coding conventions used in this study. It provides data that enable the proper interpretation and understanding of the codes assigned to variables of interest during the study. This report will be of interest to individuals involved in traffic safety, safety training, crash and injury reduction, and roadway design and policy making, as well as to motorcycle- and safety-equipment designers, crash investigators and researchers, motorcycle and automotive manufacturers and consumers, roadway users, and human-factors specialists.

  • 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.
