Historic Motorcycles, the MV Agusta virtual museum on the web

The debut of the new MV Agusta F3 at Eicma 2010, in Milan, which took place at the beginning of this month, and the recent acquisition by Claudio Castiglioni of the motorcycle manufacturer, who obtained it for the symbolic sum of 1 euro from Harley -Davidson, could make us forget the historical heritage of a similar brand, founded with the name Costruzioni Aeronautiche Giovanni Agusta SA in 1919.

And, since most of the racing bikes, prototypes, engines and chassis of the MV Agusta Racing Department were sold, during an auction in 1986, to an American collector, despite the strenuous opposition of Motociclismo magazine, and that therefore a complete museum does not exist (today there is the Agusta Museum in Cascina Costa), the MV Agusta motorcycle manufacturer has decided to give life, at least virtually, to an exhibition that collects all the historical memories of the past agency. Where?

On your screen: the museum set up by MV Agusta does not require an entry ticket, has no real guides, has not organized a vernissage and has no souvenirs to take to relatives: you can find it on the official website of the Italian company, here at this link. What you just have to do is navigate, orienting yourself according to the classifications "street motorcycle" (or "road motorcycles") and "racing motorcycle" (or "competition motorcycle") and according to the year of production: in the virtual museum Historic Motorcycles on the MV Agusta website include motorcycles ranging from the 98s to the 1945s. The itinerant but virtual journey begins with the first MV XNUMXcc of XNUMX.
