Any list of the world?s most desirable motorcycles is likely to include the MV Agusta 750S. If you fall under the spell of the iconic inline four, you?ll need at least $60,000 to put a good example in your garage.
But now Magni, the storied Italian bike builder, offers an alternative: the MV Agusta 750S Tributo, a stunning homage crafted around the Brutale 800 drivetrain.

Produced in the first half of the 1970s, the 750S was tricky to ride, three times the price of a Honda CB750 and more at home on the track than the road. But it looked amazing, and it still looks good today.
The Tributo looks just as good, and it?s also much more than a pretty re-skin of a factory MV. Everything that surrounds the 109 hp, three-cylinder motor is custom?from the traditional-style frame to the suspension.
The tubular double-cradle frame looks old school, right down to the loop that extends over the rear fender. But it?s likely to be much stiffer than the 750S original: it?s fashioned out of 30 mm ChroMoly steel tubing, TIG-welded, and with a more modern geometry.
The forks look like Cerianis lifted from a 1970s GP bike, but despite the traditional construction, they?re a modern design by the German specialist Oram.

They?re CNC machined from aluminum alloy, fully adjustable, and measure 43 mm in diameter.
Rake is set to a sporty 25 degrees?just half a degree more relaxed than the latest Brutale 800 chassis geometry. Trail is a shorter 3.35 inches compared to the Brutale?s 4.05.
