It’s great that he resurrected 2 dying or dead brands: Ducati and MV Agusta. With Ducati, they kept their Desmo engine design and flourished the brand. With MV, they kept the 4 cylinder engines they were known for and also flourished the brand. Even though I can’t afford neither, we must appreciated his work to keep these famous brand still alive for the world to see.

Seems that one whole era is passing… one man’s gone, soon will be more. What will come next? Will there be any motorcycles in future?

I had the pleasure of owning one of Mr. Castiglioni’s beautiful creations, the
1990 Ducati 851. His soul is in these bikes, as well as in the early MVs.
He made the world a little nicer place for us. Every time I hear one of your
bikes speaking to me at 10,000 rpm I will thank you.
R.I.P Mr. Castiglioni ~

RIP Mr. Castiglioni. You’ve given me a lot of joy with your designs and with MV performance.

Let’s not forget this man’s business sense. He pulled off one of the greatest business deals of all time, in his dealings with with Harley Davidson. Sell a company for millions, let the buyer invest millions more in the business, and then buy back the company for a buck.

It would be quite an accolade to have just one of his creations to your credit. That is a beautiful stable of machinery he has helped create! He has left quite a legacy for us all.

God Speed Mr. Castiglioni.

I bet his blood was red white and green and if you could have heard his heart it would have sounded like an MV500 triple at the TT with Ago chasing Hailwood. A true motorcycle enthusiast, biking is poorer for his passing.
