Motorcycle specifications MV-Agusta350 Scrambler 1972

Founded in 1907 by Count Giovanni Agusta, the Italian brand originally designed engines for aviation. But with increasing demand throughout Europe for the ability to move quickly and freely, the brand expanded and began creating engines.

as the years went by, technology continued to advance. The sixties were a revolution not only for the automotive world, but also for motorcycles. It was an important era for everyone, but especially for Giacomo Agostini, who won a number of major races on his 350 and 500cc bikes.

however, following the death of Giacomo Agostini, MV lost its reputation and faced financial difficulties, leading it to develop only the 350 and 750. There were three versions, including the one we're particularly interested in here, the 350 Scrambler, which came out in 1972.

based on engines designed for competition, this little technological marvel (for its time) was produced in 4600 units in its S version. This bike was later taken up by the Japanese, as it was quite innovative in its class. Indeed, MV-Agusta's ambition was to produce a young motorcycle that was easy to build and ride. And so, after much research, a well-proportioned, well-balanced engine was born in the laboratories of the Italian brand. Although its fan was inspired by the Honda CX 500, this motorcycle was innovative in that it was one of the first to feature a breaker, a revolutionary system at the time.this was a revolutionary system at the time, enabling the engine speed to be cut when it reached too high an rpm, thus avoiding damage to the engine.

this bike was a revival for MV, which ended production and development in 1977 to make a 400cc and higher. A more powerful, better-designed bike.
