MV Agusta ’s glorious racing background gave rise to legion street wheel over the years , one of the last exemplified by the 1977 MV Agusta 750S Americamotorcycle .
The 750S America model was bring out in 1975 . It feature blockier styling and a larger engine than former MV 750s .
The 790 - cc three-fold - overhead - River Cam four - cylinder engine in the 1977 MV Agusta 750S America bike had its roots in a 500 - cc racing powerplant .
When shipped from the mill , the stock exhaust system organisation was an odd combination of chrome downtubes with megaphones finished in black crinkle paint .
The exhaust seen on the 1977 MV Agusta 750S America motorcycle pictured with this article is a Magni intention and look more the part . Arturo Magni was the man responsible for for closely all of MV ’s racing success . When his aim were put into the hand of booster riders like Mike Hailwood , the competition had little Bob Hope of winning .
The flowing half - fairing on this 1977 MV Agusta 750S America motorcycle is another democratic Magni accessory and was also available in a full Gran Prix configuration .
matter 507 pounds without fluid , the 750S is no lightweight , but its handling at speed negate the mickle . The suede - covered racing saddle does its best to keep the pilot in place during the kind of bouncy cornering maneuver the 750S is so adept at performing .
Like previous MVs , the 750S America was expensive , and the ship’s company keep on to lose money . A change of possession in 1977 did little to help matter , and production end during 1980 .
But the revered MV Agusta name did not die . almost 20 years later it was revived by Cagiva , another Italian motorcycle manufacturing business , to be used on an ultra - sport model forebode the F4 .
Though an initial run of some 200 units sell out apace at about $ 40,000 apiece , unconstipated production versions , holler F4S , contained few alien cloth and sold for about half that amount . In both execution and price , these new machines were true apparitional heir to the MVs of old .
