Red-lacquered racing motorcycles characterize the image of the name MV Agusta


With the race wins of his MV Agusta 125, the Italian company reported back in 1952 after the interruption of the war as a moto producer. Before MV Agusta became known as a manufacturer of high-capacity racers, the Italians initially concentrated on motorcycles of the 125 cc class in road vehicles.
