Company History
After leading MV Agusta’s racing dynasty, Arturo Magni founded a boutique that distilled Italian craft and racing know-how into roadgoing art. Magni’s machines typically harness Moto Guzzi transverse V-twins inside exquisitely fabricated frames with classic bodywork, upswept exhausts, and period-correct details executed at couture level. Geometry and suspension are tuned for road feel rather than lap times, yielding bikes that hold a line with grace and communicate through the bars in a way modern electronics sometimes mute. Build numbers are tiny; each motorcycle is assembled with fastidious attention to welds, castings, and fit, backed by deep knowledge of the donor platform. Collectors prize them as rideable heirlooms—mechanical jewelry that rewards precise inputs. Historically, Magni preserves the connection between Italy’s golden racing era and today’s enthusiasts, reminding riders that charisma and craftsmanship can be ends in themselves. A Magni is less product than provenance: the continuity of a racing mind shaping a road machine for the sheer pleasure of riding well.
