Cagiva Superbikes Motorcycle; photo wallpapers: Cagiva was founded in 1950 in Italy by Giovanni Castiglioni producing small metallic components. It went into motorcycle business in 1978. Cagiva brand is part of the MV Agusta company.[br]The name is a portmanteau derived from the founder and the founding location, i.e. CAstiglioni GIovanni VArese. It went into the motorcycle industry in 1978. The MV Agusta and Husqvarna brands are now part of the Castiglioni company, branded under the MV Agusta name. It is currently owned by Giovanni's sons, Claudio and Gianfranco Castiglioni. While they are no longer active in motocross, they did build a series of motocross bikes that had fast powerful engines and innovative features, such as the MX line that had only one spring in the front forks with one fork controlling dampening and the other spring. In June of 1983 the Castiglioni brothers began negotiations with the Italian government to take over Ducati and use their engines in Cagiva motorcycles. However, the Ducati name was better recognized outside Italy, so Ducati motorcycle production continued in Bologna, while the Varese-built Cagiva Allazura and Elefant were introduced, both featuring Ducati engines. Ducati was sold in 1996 to independent investors.[br]Similarly, in 1985, Cagiva purchased MotoMorini SpA. Sales declined under Cagiva's management and it was sold to independent investors in 1996. They purchased the motorcycle section of Husqvarna in 1987, and purchased MV Agusta in 1991. Cagiva bought BMCs design for the Mini Moke, manufacturing them in Portugal using British built engines from 1990 until 1993. Intending to transfer production to the Bologna factory early in 1995, the tooling for the Moke was transferred to Italy late in 1993 - but production never restarted.[br]
