Bike Garage - The Agone Tt

MV Agusta Brutal 800rr yesteryear Deus Ex Machina

The Deus Emporium of Postmodern Activities inwards Venice, California is proud to formally innovate the Ago TT. Motorcycle pattern manager Michael Woolaway built this custom Brutale 800rr commissioned yesteryear MV Agusta every bit a homage to the marque’s rich racing heritage capturing the spirit of Tourist Trophy racing of the 60’s in addition to 70’s. The cycle is aptly named afterward the swell motorbike racer Giacomo Agostini who won xiii Grand Prix championships in addition to ten Isle Of Man TT’s betwixt 1966 in addition to 1973 astride the MV Agusta marque.

MV’s were non alone the best looking motorcycles always built, exactly they were every bit good the ones to musical rhythm out because they had the most amazing motors in addition to a tube weapon — their tinsmith Primo Selotti” says Woolie, recalling a conversation he had alongside immature human being aluminum shaper Evan Wilcox. “Selotti was from the bird manufacture in addition to was revolutionary inwards his gas tank shapes that non alone looked swell exactly were super aerodynamic alongside ergonomics to gibe the rider. They were alone meant to larn fast.” The Ago TT implements these functional trend cues from the distinctive shapes of early on small-scale displacement Italian race tanks alongside dished inwards sides in addition to transcend in addition to pronounced edges. The tank’s shell ended upward beingness seven carve upward pieces of Aluminum. “This was the most hard tank I’ve always made due to the negative crimp from the transcend to the back,” says Woolaway. Getting aluminum to shape this means without it creasing is a tricky process. “I had to throw away the showtime version of the tank I made for this bike”

The sweeping curved pipes are roughly other distinguishing characteristic of vintage MV Agusta race bikes inwards the 70’s that Woolie used on the Ago TT, sourcing a laid upward of 27 inch megaphones from Cone Engineering. “To larn the correct curve, I cutting out almost xxx small-scale slices in addition to brazed it all dorsum together,” says Woolaway, who finished them off alongside a apartment dark ceramic coat in addition to destination cap baffles from Roland Sands Designs.

No headlight, no plow signals, no license plate, no nonsense. Woolie has built a cycle for the rails in addition to the racing slicks are properly gummed upward from roughly rails fourth dimension at Laguna Seca in addition to Willow Springs raceway. “It feels similar a Grand Prix bike, laser-straight in addition to rattling responsive,” says Woolie “While testing it on the track, I didn’t desire to larn dorsum to the pits.”

The goal was to reference one-time race history spell maintaining the modern precision that MV Agusta is known for today. We may live on biased, exactly nosotros think it turned out Super OK!
