The MV Agusta 750 Sport from 1974 clearly demonstrates The Motorcycle As Art.

MV Agusta 750 Sport

The MV Agusta 750 Sport is the Alfa Romeo 8C of classic motorcycles and those cars are now selling for over US$20,000,000. With 37 world championships to their name, 270 Grand Prix race victories and 26 years of Grand Prix racing dominance. MV Agusta boasted riders such as Surtees, Mike Hailwood, Phil Read, Agostini and many more all clamouring to ride these magical motorcycles and pioneering them to the podium. This is another of the motorcycles we’ve featured in our The Motorcycle as Art project, because they are just gorgeous to look at as well as own and ride. The sound of the Grand Prix motor from 1957 howling through those four pipes is extraordinary and visceral. Great care and expert help is required to acquire an investment grade example, as there are numerous fakes in the market. Genuine ones are few and far between and there are numerous other details not in the public domain that need to be investigated.

MV Agusta America 750 Magni LHS for sale

MV Agusta 750 America and Magni

MV Agusta 750 America and Magni are iconic classic Italian motorcycles which are derived from the 750 Sport. However the America signalled the race replica fashion to come in the next decade and beyond. MV Agustas were still all hand made to order, were still exceptionally expensive and really were the most exotic motorcycle on the planet, until the factory closed in 1980. Arturo Magni used to run the race team until they withdrew from racing in 1976 due to noise restrictions. You can read more about this extraordinary man in this article https://www.motorcyclistonline.com/arturo-magni-former-mv-agusta-team-manager-turned-manufacturer-dies-at-age-90-motorcyclist-magazine/ After which, he set up on his own augmenting existing MVs and using his expertise on many other marques such as Honda, Suzuki, BMW and many more over the years. MV Agusta was Magnis first and pervading love and he created the chain drive conversion for these rare machines. Lots of Magnis are old crashed MVs with some cobbled together Magni parts from many other motorcycles and these are not really collectible at all. A lot of the more modern Magni parts for MVs, although very high quality, are not like the original parts as Aturo’s son Giovani is still producing components for these conversions.

Early Laverda 750SFC homologation special

Laverda 750SFC

The Laverda 750 SFC is a rare homologation special which has shadowed the 1974 Ducati 750SS green frame for its entire life as a collectible Italian classic motorcycle. These are not to be confused with the Laverda 750 SF, they are completely different motorcycles at completely different values. With a fantastic race history and styling that certainly makes a statement, these were a race bike with lights. They are very rare, very easy to fake and a whole load of fun to own and ride. Many green frame owners have added these to their stable as the two really do live together side by side. It’s less well known than the Ducati, but has always been around half the value, and rising, historically, so they are not cheap. Now is a really great time to acquire a genuine investment grade example. There’s a lot of pressure under prices which consistently rose in parallel with the green frame for a couple of decades.

Aghast Laverda Jota
1975 Laverda Jota attracts attention even when it is parked up.

Laverda Jota

The Laverda Jota is a legendary motorcycle which held the fastest motorcycle in the world for a few years. These brutal triples are charismatic and charming in equal measure when they’re correctly set up and all the work has been done satisfactorily. A well sorted Laverda Jota is a bundle of laughs, outside of the city environment, and draws crowds wherever it’s parked up. This article Beware of the Laverda Jota explains in great detail the problems with Laverdas due to age, less than desirable factory specification and poor maintenance. On the other hand, if you want to know what a properly sorted out Laverda Jota is like to ride, you can read our Laverda Jota road test. They really are worth the trouble of sorting out, but it is a very costly proposition. Because someone who makes kitchen cabinets (for example) is in a great position in the owner’s club does not mean that they are the type of engineer to set the machines up and resolve any problems with them. The only people we use to do the engineering and supply parts for our Laverdas is Laverda Scozia, they really are the only people in the market to trust.
