Do you have much money to spend? Maybe you should buy something beautiful next month in Italy. We are talking about an excellent copy of MV Agusta 500, with an estimated cost of about €200 000 - 250 000.

But why should anyone waste a huge amount of money to buy a replica? It’s easy to get. This exceptional model has already become a part of the history, like the original bike itself, but also because it is the bike of Giacomo Agostini. Let me explain something to you ... In fact, the greatest motorcycle relationship of the last century between MV Agusta and Giacomo Agostini won 7 successive 500cc World Championship titles.

In honour of this incredible feat, the original engineers at HRT produced a near-identical copy of the famous 1972-winning machine. It was so perfect that Agostini himself had to have one. Offered here is just that bike, but decorated with Agostini’s signature on the fairing.

The motorcycle is equipped with the original three-cylinder 500 cc GP, a replica of the 1970 Ceriani GP fork and 230-millimetre front drum brake, ensuring that the rider feels as close to the original experience as possible. Other details include the fiberglass seat with leather trim and 18-inch Borrani wire wheels. Modern upgrades, such as the Avon tires and Dell’orto carburetors, were used only because the original parts are no longer available. It’s also completed with a letter from Agostini himself certifying his ownership, and certainly, a chance to ride with one of the greatest legends of our time.

Agostini MV Agusta is the last of six tributes created with World Champion Giacomo Agostini, the motorcycle has been assigned the serial number 6/6, chassis number ST41-50 GGRFGMGG. It was ridden by Agostini at Dijon in May 2014. For more information on the auction and other motorcycles that are exhibited on it, look for on the auction page.
