The MV Agusta 350S Ipotesi is a classic Italian designed by legendary automotive stylist Giorgio Giugiaro. Nicknamed the Ipotesi (Hypothesis in Italian), it was Giugiaro’s attempt at styling a bike.

Though some people think the 350 is a better bike, the 450 Desmo is primed to be one of the next bikes that will start surging in price. For some details on what made this bike a “Memorable Motorcycle”, check out this article on Motorcycle USA.

Post Sale Update: This Laverda/American Eagle project sold for $3,726 after 22 bids on eBay. I hate featuring bikes that need this much work, but this is truly a special one.

As a R1150GS owner myself, I’m a big fan of large displacement dual-sports, particularly of the opposite-cylinder variety. This big V-Twin checks all the right boxes for an all-rounder, with the added benefit that you’re going to stand out from the GSes with a bike this rare.
