MV Agusta SA dealer principle Craig Langton said: "These bikes made Giacomo Agostini a motorcycling legend and have now re-emerged from the past thanks to the most spectacular MV Agusta ever, the F3 800 AGO, packed with unsurpassed technology that provides jaw-dropping performance and unparalleled riding pleasure.

LIMITED EDITION 

“Only a limited edition of 300 bikes will be manufactured and on each one the fuel tank will carry the personal autograph of 15-times World champion Giacomo Agostini.”

"We will be receiving two of these famous units in June 2014.”

The bikemaker says electronic engine and traction control play a pivotal role, ensuring the F3 800 AGO delivers tip-top performance at all times. Practical handlebar controls let the rider choose from three different pre-set power delivery modes.

Those hungry for more personalised performance will be able to configure the control parameters, including the traction control settings.

The bike features an ABS Bosch 9MP with Race Mode and the RLM system, which prevents the rear wheel from lifting off the asphalt under hard braking. Deceleration is ensured by a top-notch braking system, which features two 320mm front discs, radially mounted Brembo monobloc four-piston calliper’s and a 220mm rear disc.

UNIQUE DETAILS

The use of carbon fibre, says MV Agusta, on the front and rear fenders gives it real racing panache, making the bike even lighter and enhancing the already excellent power-to-weight ratio. Another key contribution comes from the forged rims, which save a full two kilograms compared to the standard version.

Langton said: "The F3 800 AGO is unique in every detail. A silver plaque attached to the steering yoke shows a progressive number certifying that the F3 800 is one of MV Agusta's most exclusive creations.”

Each bike will be delivered together with a special certificate signed by Giacomo Agostini himself, providing additional proof of the uniqueness and originality of this latest MV Agusta legend.
