MV Agusta 750 S

The 750S was a bike that MV almost begrudgingly offered to the motorcycle buying public as a last ditch effort to stay solvent. It was even rumored that Count Agusta insisted on retaining a shaft drive on this bike so that privateers couldn’t compete with his factory racers who benefited from the performance of a special chain-drive conversion kit. For mere mortals, however, the shaft drive is perfectly capable of harnessing the 750S’s 66 horses.  The bikes’ engines were each built by hand, with crank bearings individually fitted by the same experienced staff that built so many bikes for the company’s race program. Details like turn signals and switchgear were an afterthought. This example has many rare period modifications from legendary MV Racing Chief and independent tuner, Arturo Magni. This example was long term owned by a roman based collector and personal friend of Arturo Magni - and was treated to a full Magni 861 engine kit.
