SUPERVELOCE 1000 AGO: MV AGUSTA’S TRIBUTE TO GREATNESS

The MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Ago is a collector's motorcycle limited to just 83 units worldwide, built in honor of Giacomo Agostini's 83rd birthday. Agostini is the most decorated motorcycle racer in history, with 15 world championships and 122 Grand Prix victories, and this machine pays tribute to his legacy in every detail: from the Matt Fire Red and Magnum Silver livery that recalls his MV Agusta racing colors, to a brass coin set into each bike's bodywork that was cast from one of his original trophies. Every unit is personally signed by Agostini and individually numbered on a real gold plate.

What Powers the MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Ago?

The Superveloce 1000 Ago is powered by MV Agusta's 998cc inline four-cylinder engine producing 208 hp at 13,000 RPM, propelling the motorcycle past 300 km/h (186 mph). The engine uses forged titanium connecting rods and a lightened crankshaft to support the high-revving character that defines MV Agusta's four-cylinder tradition. MV Agusta's MVICS 2.1 electronic management system handles traction control, launch control, and eight-level adjustable engine braking, ensuring the power is usable as well as spectacular. The bespoke Akrapovic titanium exhaust reduces overall weight while delivering an exhaust note that MV Agusta describes as unmistakably its own.

What Makes the Superveloce 1000 Ago Exclusive?

Every element of the Superveloce 1000 Ago is designed to make its 83 owners feel the weight of Agostini's history. Full carbon fiber bodywork covers the frame. Ohlins EC electronic suspension with electronically controlled damping provides the handling precision expected of a motorcycle at this level. Brembo Stylema caliper brakes with Bosch 9 Plus cornering ABS provide stopping power matched to the performance. CNC-machined components and spoked silver wheels reference the handcrafted nature of the racing motorcycles that made Agostini famous. The price of 83,000 euros per unit reflects both the engineering and the rarity, with the number chosen specifically in honor of Agostini's age at the time of launch.

What Is Included With Each Motorcycle?

The ownership experience goes well beyond the motorcycle itself. Each buyer is invited to have Dainese create a made-to-measure Custom Works Demone GP 3X leather racing suit, fitted during a personal session at a Dainese store and designed around Agostini's iconic racing leathers. An AGV Pista GP RR helmet, individually crafted to replicate elements of Agostini's race-day kit, is also included. The welcome package adds a custom key, certificate of authenticity, and a suite of bespoke accessories. MV Agusta backs the motorcycle with a five-year factory warranty, an unusual commitment for a limited-edition collector's bike that signals the brand's confidence in the engineering beneath the tribute.
