c.1972 MV Agusta 350B Elettronica Registration no. OAB 128K Frame no. MV350B*21301133 Engine no. MV-2130975 Better known for their racing and road-going multi-cylinder machines, MV Agusta also built a range of single and twin-cylinder sports bikes during the 1960s and 1970s. Intermittently available in Britain throughout this period, their high price meant that they were never top sellers. 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 breathing through twin Dell'Orto carburettors and featuring gear primary drive to a five-speed transmission. Claimed maximum power was 32bhp and the top speed in excess of 90mph. Two versions were introduced initially: the touring 350GT and sports 350B, both of which were updated with 12-volt electrics and electronic ignition in October 1972. They were replaced by restyled 'square case' equivalents for 1975. First UK registered in November 1996, this 350 MV was purchased in 2012 from Lusso Veloce in Leicestershire, having previously undergone restoration by a former owner. Offered from a small private collection, the machine has been stored in a dry environment and used sparingly; only relatively minor recommissioning and the customary safety checks should be required before returning it to the road. The current odometer reading is 5,451 kilometres (3,387 miles).
