MV Agusta, les 4-cylindres classiques 1950-1980
The four-cylinder MV Agusta bikes occupy a special place in the history of motorcycling. Firstly because they dominated motorcycling for over a decade, ridden by legends such as John Surtees, Giacomo Agostini and Mike Hailwood; secondly because the models marketed for the road, derived from competition, were expensive, inaccessible, exclusive bikes surrounded by an aura of mystery. For the first time, a book traces the history of these legendary bikes in French.
After discussing the brand's brilliant career in competition, under the passionate leadership of Count Domenico Agusta, specialist Ian Falloon lifts the veil on the four-cylinder MV road bikes, which he reviews in extremely detailed fashion. He highlights their mechanical and aesthetic developments, explains the technical choices made by Count Agusta and highlights the exceptional quality of these engines, which are entirely mounted on bearings.
From the first 600 cm³ of 1965 to the 750 Sport, America and 850 Monza of the 1970s, not a single model escapes his in-depth analysis, which he completes with special versions such as those developed by Arturo Magni.
A very well-documented work that combines sporting adventures and technical descriptions around one of the most legendary brands in the history of motorcycling.
