Italian motorcycle brand MV Agusta has unveiled a special edition sportsbike, called the MV Agusta Superveloce Ago to honour the racing successes of Giacomo Agostini. The former MV Agusta factory racer won 15 world championships across his career, as well as 311 individual grand prix victories. MV Agusta has previously also celebrated Giacomo Agostini's wins, having in the past released the MV Agusta F4 Ago and the MV Agusta F3 Ago. To create the special edition model, MV Agusta has taken the Superveloce and added fancy components, including top-spec suspension, new steering damper and triple clamp.

Visually, the bodywork has been given a thorough makeover and features handcrafter carbon fibre. From the tip of the bike to the tail, MV Agusta has used carbon fibre to make the mudguard support, side fairing, mudguard, tail unit, underseat cover, chainguard and swingarm protector. Suspension is now top-spec Ohlins kit, with fully adjustable 43 mm MIX forks up front and a TTX 36 monoshock at the rear.
