MV 3cylinder 500 cc
Mid-1960s Grand Prix machine with a 498cc DOHC inline triple, producing 75–80 bhp and strong top-end performance.
Lighter and more compact than MV’s earlier fours, it improved handling and retained speed with a simple tubular frame and conventional suspension.
Giacomo Agostini raced this machine, and it was a major factor in MV Agusta’s dominance of 500cc racing in the late 1960s.
