MV Agusta 125 desmo double knocker

In 1959 MV Agusta started with the design of a 125 cc desmo double knocker with a very similar Mondial lay-out.
Designed by Ruggero Mazza* who came from the race department of Ducati. The project was stopped in 1960, because MV Agusta, like Ducati, stopped racing in this discipline.

* Actually it proved to be very Stanguellini-patent-like (see: picture).
The present owner of this unique motorcycle is Mr. Castelli Lucio who lives near Varese in Italy.
