MV Agusta. It’s a name deeply rooted in motorcycling history, conjuring up visions of epic, fire-engine-red motorcycles hurtling down race tracks across Europe, the most brilliant riders of the day – Surtees, Hailwood, Agostini – bravely pushing them to the limits of their capacity. Over a 14-year period, enthusiast Gary Kohs put together a collection of 71 of the most significant and magnificant MVs ever made. On Aug. 16-18, 2012, at Mecum’s Monterey Auction, you could buy them all. At once.
