In June, 2021, MV Agusta premiered a documentary it created, called You See A Bike. Any OEM’s 75th anniversary would naturally be a cause for celebration, but MV Agusta’s 75th just happened to fall during 2020, while the world was first learning to grapple with the ongoing covid pandemic. Still, like a lot of other people, MV saw this as a challenge to be overcome, not a complete stop-in-its-tracks moment. It adapted, and it carefully put together this very special documentary anyway.
Of course, the thing about documentaries like these is that we might know they exist—but sometimes, it’s not easy to see them. They spend a lot of time making the circuit of film festivals for a while, garnering discussion and perhaps praise, but many of us only hear about them instead of watching them for ourselves.
