Subtitled ‘Birth, death and resurrection: The story of one of the world’s most famous motorcycling marques,’ this book covers the complete history of MV Agusta, from 1945 to 2022.

Over 288 pages, respected author Ian Falloon combines his five decades of passion for Italian motorcycles with exceptional research to chart MV Agusta’s competition success and connection to some of grand prix racing’s most famous names.

In its golden era, MV Agusta accrued 75 World Championships (riders and manufacturers), 270 Grand Prix victories and more than 3,000 race wins - a record unequalled amongst Italian motorcycle manufacturers. MV Agusta’s rider roster in this period included Giacomo Agostini, John Surtees, Mike Hailwood and Phil Read, amongst others

PRODUCT – MV Agusta history book — As well as their success in the bigger capacities, MV Agusta’s history in 125cc and 250cc competition is also included.

Success on the track led MV Agusta to produce a broad range of roadgoing models, including exotic four-cylinder bikes based on their Grand Prix racers.

Falloon charts these production bike developments, too, as well as the brand’s rollercoaster ride in the latter part of the 20th Century that included closure in 1977, revival in 1997 and evolution in the new millennium.
