Yves’ new red missile : first flying test. Warning: no Norton inside.


A modern bike with a classic look.
A true work of art..

It is a beauty for sure! one question though: is that the engine oil sump, that is protruding down below the lower frame ?

Could be the catalytic converter if a Euro 5 bike. The black pipe could be a cover hiding the pipe in and out of the cat. Like Triumph now do. More discreet that some modern bikes.

I can't see it being a catalytic converter.
Likely an oil sump filter cooling thing.
But the way it sticks out down bothers me whatever it is.
The rest of the bike me want.
 
To me it looks like a guard that flips up out of the way when the side stand is up. almost like a rear bash plate?
 
Pretty sure it’s the sump.

And it’s not really ‘in harms way’ if the bike is used as intended.

Anyway… Yves will improve that when he puts the motor in a Seeley chassis…
 
Hi there,
Voila, I'm back to give you some fresh news:
Regarding the MV Agusta Magni Italia, at the moment I am unable to ride with it, due to my hip problems, I hope to be operated on in January, but with the Covid, most of the non-vital operations are postponed.
But anyway, I have to adapt the MV to my height (1.65 meter)
To do this, I reduced the saddle height by 3cm by removing some of the foam, I am still waiting for Tommaselli clip-ons, in principle they are coming this week, I am also busy changing the position of the footrests , lower and further forward, to do this I made aluminum gussets I will also put a radial master cylinder for the front brake
All these transformations are done without touching the frame or the position of the rear master cylinder.
After Bruno tested my MV, I asked another friend to test the machine and make a video of the test.
My friend Silvain Polak is a former road racing rider, but the most important thing is that he has an MV Brutale and that he is used to the power of three cylinders.
The test was very impressive and the video very successful, but too heavy to put on Access.
The Sunburst is still for sale, I am ready to study your proposal, but stay north of 20,000 euros.

Joke:
We are in Brussels and it is raining as usual, in front of a cafe a puddle has formed, a tramp is fishing in the puddle. A gentelman arrives who takes pity on the tramp, and he invites him to the cafe where he offers him breakfast. The gentelman asks him: did you catch a lot today?
You are the eighth this morning!
Keep you posted
Yves

Only on a Norton Classic page does 150 bhp sound impressive these days.

Cool bike tho.
