Ordinary humans could not buy a Grand Prix racing MV Agusta, but the factory offered gorgeously styled café racers like this 350B. Unlike a racing MV, it was not the fastest roadster in its class, nor the most technically sophisticated. But the 350B had something no other bike offered: a family connection to the most successful World Championship racers in history. With the optional carenatura (fairing) kit, the 350B with electronic ignition looked more like a GP racer than any other middleweight street bike.
