Here we have a RARE OPPORTUNITY to purchase a nice piece motorcycling history.
This is a scaled down Replica of the iconic MV AUGUSTA GP Race Bikes - as ridden by the ledgendary Phil Read &Giacomo Agostini.
These fully working scale replicas were built by the MV Agusta factory in a very limited production run (circa 1972 / 73) as a tribute to the iconic factory GP Race bikes of the late 60's early 70's. They came complete with a 50cc petrol engine (chain drive). tubular steel frame. steel tank. clip-on bars. fiberglass fairing & tail unit and of course that lovely quad exhaust system - and all painted in the famous MV Works Team colours.
This example was purchased from Milan. Italy a few years ago & is 100% complete & all original. the only non-original items being the small fairing mount brackets that attach the fairing to the frame - which look to have be replaced @ some point in its life.
This is the rarer 10” wire spoked wheel model (they also came with 8’’ wheels) - and it would make a worthy addition to any collection - an ideal purchase for any Serious Collector. MV Agusta Enthusiast. Historic Race Bike Enthusiast - or would make a nice centre point feature for any High End Motorcycle Showroom - ect.
These bikes rarely come up for sale. there was one sold @ auction in Las Vegas in 2013. which went for $10. 00. 00 + buyers premium (see link; http://myclassicmotorcycle. blogspot. co. uk/2013_01_01_archive. html)
This is a true appreciating classic & a solid investment.
