MV Agusta 125 Regolarità

The MV Agusta 125 Regolarità was a dual-sport motorcycle built from 1965 to 1970 by the Italian manufacturer MV Agusta at their Cascina Costa plant. Production was 63 machines.

Context

After the " 150 Regularity " model of the early fifties , the MV Agusta had abandoned the off - road sector , but the spread of this discipline in the sixties caused Count Domenico Agusta to rethink the potential of this new market and ordered the construction of some models dedicated.

Prototypes and Competition

In 1963 some racing motorcycles were prepared, derived from the " Centomila " model , with an elaborate engine and reinforced frame in many parts, with specialized suspensions built by Ceriani .

Used in regularity races by some pilots of the house and entrusted to the team of the Fiamme Oro , the bikes obtained excellent results, so much so that the production was decided in small series, for private pilots, starting from 1965. Of the "Competition" version were made 46 copies of the 1st series and, in 1969, 17 examples of the 2nd series.

The bike

Placed in pre-sale at the price of Lire 310,000 ex-works from the summer of 1965, the motorcycle was officially presented in November at the Milan Show .

The "125 Regularity" is equipped with the new engine with 5-speed gearbox produced for the "125 GTL", but with the head and cylinder the alloy. However, unlike the coeval " 125 Scrambler ", this is not an off-road set-up of the "GTL".

The chassis, in fact, is a faithful replica of the official racing specimens that had preceded it and maintains the same chassis derived from the "One Hundred Thousand" and the same specialist equipment, including the attacks for the rapid disassembly of the wheels that allow the replacement of the wheel rear without affecting the transmission and braking systems, anchored to the swingarm.

After a favorable start to commercialization, sales were heavily penalized by the arrival on the market of the more modern Gilera 124 5V Regolarità Casa that, for the same performance, was offered at a lower price and with a more attractive appearance.
