WILLOW GROVE, PA – Proudly partnering with the Legend of the Motorcycle Concours D’Elegance, MV Agusta is pleased to be the honoured marque of this year’s event.

To celebrate, MV Agusta is planning a series of events capturing the unrivaled spirit of their commitment to motorcycle excellence. Visitors of the breathtaking event can expect an inside look at the company’s colourful past with immaculately restored MV bikes from every era as well as a look into the future of MV with an advanced peek at upcoming models such as the brand new 2008 F4 RR 312 1078 and Brutale 1078 RR.

To compliment the new bike highlights, MV Agusta will also organize a very special MV 75 watch display from renowned watchmaker JeanRichard. This exclusive look at MV Agusta will all be helmed by one of its greatest legends, Giacomo Agostini, on hand to receive a very special Legend of the Motorcycle concours honour.

“We could not be more excited at the prospect of celebrating MV Agusta’s place in motorcycle history at this magnificent event. As one of the featured motorcycle marques to be honored this year at the Legend of the Motorcycle Concours D’Elegance, MV Agusta is pleased Ago will be receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award,” said MV Agusta brand manager Matthew Stutzman. “MV Agusta is proud of Ago’s contributions to the world of racing as well as our own, which account for more than six decades of truly wonderful motorcycles."

Widely adored by Grand Prix fans for his tremendous talent, AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Rider Giacomo Agostini, or “Ago,” as he is famously nicknamed, will be honoured this year by the Legend of the Motorcycle with a very special Lifetime Achievement Award. This accolade will be bestowed to him in recognition for his vast success in racing and his myriad of contributions to the motorcycle industry.

Arguably the most successful motorcycle racer of all-time, Ago is responsible for an unprecedented 15 motorcycle Grand Prix Championships, most riding for MV Agusta founder Count Domenico Agusta.
