Cagiva Logo — Cagiva is an Italian manufacturer of motorcycles based in Schiranna, a suburb of Varese near Milan. The firm was founded in 1950 with Giovanni Castiglioni. Cagiva means Castiglioni Giovanni Varese elsewhere. Originally manufactured Cagiva metal parts. But Castiglioni was an avid motorcycle racing. He decided to create a team with two motorcycles designed by the factory, led by Gianfranco Bonera and Marco Lucchinelli.
And then the desire to put his passion and his profession took shape in common. It bought the plant AMF Harley-Davidson of Schiranna debauched and engineers at Aermacchi and MV Agusta. Until 1980, production will have the HD logo Cagiva. In 1983, an agreement was signed with Ducati to supply engines. This is the beginning of a long agreement between the two marks. Cagiva, whose production is doing well, would buy a large number of Italian brands. Ducati, MV Agusta, Moto Morini, Husqvarna are or have been part of the family Cagiva. More
