Although better known for their racing and road-going multi-cylinder machines, MV Agusta also built a range of stylish single- and twin-cylinder sports bikes throughout the 1950s, '60s and '70s. Introduced at the Milan Show in 1971, MV's first production 350 roadster was basically an over-bored version of the existing 250B model that had been around since 1967.
Of unitary construction, the engine was a compact, twin-cylinder, overhead-valve unit featuring twin Dell'Orto carburettors, geared primary drive and a five-speed gearbox.
They were replaced by restyled, 'square case' 350 Sports/GT equivalents for 1975 – also known as the Ipotesi (hypothesis) – the makeover being the work of celebrated car designer Giorgetto Giugiaro.
The basic engine architecture remained unchanged but power went up to 28 bhp to 34 bhp at 8,500 revs with a commensurate increase in performance.
This restored example of 1977 is a beautiful example of 1970’s Italian styling.
After a longer period of inactivity and not ideal storage she will benefit from some cosmetical attention.
