A limited edition of 83 pieces to celebrate Agostrini’s 83rd birthday
In the year that Italian racing legend Giacomo Agostrini turns 83, MV Agusta pays tribute to him with the release of the Superveloce 1000 Ago, a limited edition of 83 units. This also marks the 80th anniversary of MV Agusta’s founding, making it a truly monumental model that combines history and glory. The machine’s distinctive features include an 18-karat gold plate on the handlebar crown that is engraved with a serial number and is signed by Agostrini himself. What’s more, the ignition key contains a brass coin cut from the actual trophy that Agostrini donated, making it a truly luxurious model that allows you to own a “piece of history.”
A supreme design that combines tradition and modern technology
The exterior is constructed entirely from carbon fiber, and the matte fire red and magnum silver coloring pays homage to Agostrini’s racing suit. The black “#1” number plates on both sides against a yellow background are placed, and the fuel tank is fitted with a leather strap bearing the inscription “15 Titoli Mondiali (15 World Titles).” His name is embroidered on the Alcantara seats, and the vintage-style spoked wheels accentuate the retro feel while also combining with modern driving performance.
Legendary power and electronic control combine for dynamic performance
It is equipped with a 998cc DOHC inline 4-cylinder engine that produces a maximum output of 208hp at 13,000 rpm and a maximum torque of approximately 116Nm at 11,000 rpm. The titanium quad exhaust is made by Akrapovič and is lightweight and high-performance. The suspension is equipped with electronically controlled Öhlins suspension and Brembo brakes, making it a full-fledged circuit spec. The electronic equipment, controlled by MVICS 2.1, includes ride modes, 8-stage traction control, cornering ABS, and cruise control, providing precision to handle any situation.
Smartphone connectivity and a wide range of special accessories
The 5.5-inch TFT screen is linked to the smartphone app “MV Ride” via a built-in GPS chip. It allows corner-by-corner navigation, driving logs, slope measurement, and the creation of custom engine maps. Furthermore, a Mobisat satellite alarm system is standard equipment (free for the first year), helping to protect your vehicle from unexpected trouble.
Accessories included include genuine covers, passenger footpegs, carbon heel guards, CNC machined levers, swingarm pin adjustment plate, and a certificate of authenticity, making it a valuable collector’s item.
Timeless aesthetics and machine perfection
The Superveloce 1000 Ago is more than just a limited edition model. It is a moving artwork that fuses MV Agusta’s legend with modern technology, a machine full of respect for the details that Agostrini himself paid particular attention to. It resonates with advanced mechanics and aesthetics that not only honor the glories of the past, but also look to the riding experience of the future. As a result, the rarity of this 8-cylinder stamp, combined with the value of its condensed technology and history, makes it a bike that embodies the dreams of collectors.
Through this “legendary, ultra-beautiful SuperVeloce,” MV Agusta will demonstrate its determination to rebuild the brand’s roots and technological capabilities and take on a new era. Said to be priced at approximately 83,000 euros, this is a true “machine x museum” that only select riders around the world can own, making it a truly special tribute. MV Agusta’s “ultimate tribute” is truly a solitary work of art.
