MV Agusta built its first four-cylinder Grand Prix racer in 1950. It took 16 years for the first MV four roadster to appear, and a further four years for MV to offer what people really wanted: a road-going GP bike. The MV 750 S was a masterpiece in metal,and breathtakingly expensive. The 750 S America went one further with a bigger engine and styling even closer to the factory’s racers, especially with the optional full fairing – bellissimo!
