The Sport version of MV Agusta’s first 4 stroke was particularly well accepted thanks to it’s sporty riding position, lowered handlebar and long seat, it was a dream for many enthusiasts.
At an affordable price this model was a good basis for competition use.
The 1954 version had a particular gas tank design that extended laterally, it’s design was similar to a “disco volante” (flying saucer).
The 1955 and 1956 models had a different gas tank design.
