MV Agusta 600cc Four

---

The first production model four cylinder machine, and probably the rarest as only 127* were built, all but two of which were black, appeared at the Milan Show of 1965.

One of the non-noir machines was ordered by Australian art connoisseur and speedway champion Kim Bonython in mustard yellow, which he rode into his eighties. The other was blue and went to Vittorio Emanuele de Savole, son of the last King of Italy. He too rode his MV to a ripe age.
