Gorgeous Italian classic. An inline four 750 before Honda. Double overhead cams before all the others in the modern era. I saw one of these in the mid '70s in a race meeting bike park. There was also a Sealy Honda, Tritons and Vincents, and a watercooled Suzuki. Water cooling was novel back then. And it's always a surprise to see the shaft drive on an MV. Thanks for sharing.
I had the opportunity to buy one of these beauties, about 25 years back. It was £25,000 and was located In the Netherlands. I had re mortgaged my house and was ready to do a deal. But I got cold feet at the last minute, when I realised that I was really not in the right tax bracket to properly own and run such a piece of exotica. Not a day goes by when I don't think about it. Alas, these bikes are now well on the way to £100,000, one having recently sold for £85,000! C'est la vie!
I had one, in 1973, complete with fairing. Fantastic bike, though HEAVY! I bought her for £1,800...a LOT of money then which as a young man I could barely afford - two or three times the price of a BMW S90 (itself thought to be hugely expensive). After 3 years of ownership - including trips to Spa F. and the TT, the importer (Gus Kuhn) said they wouldn't be importing them anymore so, in a panic thinking that the spares would dry up, I sold her....for £1,300. I could weep....they're going for anything up to £100,000 now. I'd love to have her back though, whatever the cost!
There was one for sale at my local dealer, in Antony 92, France. It stayed in the show room for a long time. I got my motorcycle license in 1973, and I was biased because an MV Agusta was just too good to be true. But I did not have the cash at 16 years old, so I settled for a Japanese as everyone else.
Wow, a MV 750S in that condition. Guess 1972 or sooner because of the brakes, or? In 2003 I was invited to an MV meeting here, but guessed people would ask themselves what I have to do their with a Honda CB 500 Four, lol ... even though 4 exhaust pipes, lol.
il fatto inspiegabile è come una casa con centinaia di successi in gara abbia potuto produrre un simile baraccone: una miscela di tecnica da corsa (distribuzione a cascata di ingranaggi) e peso e dimensioni esagerati. Quel motore era già superato allora infatti qualcuno mi dica a quante gare ha partecipato. MV ha prodotto delle eccellenti moto da corsa ma che mai hanno trovato riscontro nella produzione stradale
Il conte Agusta non voleva assolutamente produrre delle moto di serie. Perché, come aveva anticipato, l’industrializzazione sarebbe costato troppo. Ed quello che e successo. Hanno dovuto limitare i costi con accessorie di bassa qualità. Cromature miserabile, impianto elettrico inaffidabile. Nessun parte di ricambio per qui ne acquistava una. Pero che fama!
É vero ma questo perché il Conte Agusta non voleva che qualche privato potesse cimentarsi nelle gare o lanciarsi nella produzione in grande che avrebbe richiesto ben altri i.investimenti , di qui queste scelte che ovviamente non hanno pagato a livello di vendite e risultato finale comunque sarà per il marchio ma per me é lo stesso affascinante
If I could have ANY bike in my lounge it would be this one. Drop dead gorgeous!

Right at the end of when we thought a big drum brake (2 leading shoe minimum) was sufficient.
Beautiful

Der Aufkleber auf dem Tank mit den Gewinnen fehlt.
MOLTO; MOLTO BELLA
¿Te das cuenta de la música de un motor de 50 años? Ninguna suena así, hoy
anche mv augusta ha fatto come l impero romano

Low oil pressure and burning oil
Torpedo total.
