There is a that consistently rises above the quarrelsome din, with even the most opinionated collectors agreeing it has earned a place on the mantle of motorcycling: the MV Agusta 750S. MV Agusta introduced the 750S in 1969. Enter the audacious MV Agusta 750S, a pleasant resignation from practicality and a deliberate detour into indulgence. The menacing big bore MV was a direct descendent from the machines the factory had been racing, effectively providing passionate motorcycle enthusiasts with the opportunity to own machines they’d seen the likes of , , , and circulate roadracing circuits aboard.

Yesterdays - www.yesterdays.nl - offi[email protected] - +31 495 54 60 54 | Page: 1 The 750S was at the vanguard of an era of sporting, performance-oriented that took two- wheel sex appeal and rebelliousness to new heights. A daunting display of muscle and beauty, the MV Agusta 750S had four cylinders that drew air through four individual carburetors, each fitted with a polished, wide-mouthed velocity stack. The most pronounced statement however, was in the four individual chrome header pipes that swept back along the length of the machine-two on either side-ending in megaphones . The engine produced 69 horsepower, fed to the rear wheel through a 5-speed transmission and shaft drive that helped the machine reach a top speed in the neighborhood of 130 mph. A massive 4-cam front drum brake, as well as the drop, café-racer-style clip-on handlebars and race- inspired rearsets (which bent the rider into a semi-tuck) were a direct carry-over from MV Agusta’s racing endeavors. MV Agusta’s intent was unmistakable. The company was aiming squarely at appealing to serious-minded, discerning enthusiasts willing to pay a premium for its proven racing pedigree. The MV 750S was the antithesis to polite two-wheeled transportation, serving to reawaken the magic and daring inherent with motorcycles. The eventual demise, and subsequent resurrection, of MV Agusta has only crystallized the value-monetarily, historically, and emotionally-of surviving 750S machines, securing their status as one of the most sought after motorcycles among collectors. This MV Agusta 750S is a fine and well running bike.
