Provenance;

Private Collector, Current Owner, the Netherlands, acquired in 1984.

In 1907, Sicilian aristocrat Count Giovanni Agusta founded the Agusta Aeronautics Company near Palermo, Italy, a mere four years after Orville and Wilbur Wright's famous flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The company soon thrived, particularly during WWI and WWII, when it produced airplanes for the Italian government. Post WWII, the company was banned from aircraft production, and the factory was retooled to produce motorcycles, providing Italy with the simple and affordable personal transport it needed in the immediate aftermath of the war. The new company was named MV Agusta – “M” for Meccanica (Mechanical) and “V” for Verghera, the town in which the first bikes were built.
MV Agusta soon began building racing motorcycles as well, and the company's history of precision engineering meant that they soon dominated Grand Prix racing. The company won 38 Riders' World Championships and 37 Constructors' World Championships from 1952 to 1976, with an astonishing 270 World Championship race wins – a record unlikely to ever be repeated. Much like Enzo Ferrari, MV Agusta built road-going machines as a means of funding its racing efforts. None was more important and impressive than the 750 Sport, which featured a powerful and exotic DOHC, four-cylinder engine. Extremely expensive at the time, they were among the first true "superbikes" – the motorcycle equivalent of Lamborghini's Miura or Ferrari's Daytona – with gorgeous styling and extreme performance.

This outstanding early-production example was delivered new 06-06-1973, General Agency MV Agusta, Roland Schneider, Baden-Baden, Germany, to Mr. H. Luijendijk who exported the motorcycle to the Netherlands.
Original Dutch registration documents on file record three subsequent Dutch owners, and in 1984, the bike was bought by a Dutch motorcycle collector.

The consignor purchased the MV from him in 1985 and had mechanical work undertaken by an Italian motorcycle specialist, at 35.000 Km. The motorcycle has since been exercised sparingly (13.000 km) and remained in the consignor's collection of significant Italian road and racing motorcycles.

This MV looks like a new one. Everything is almost perfect and new.
Not only the optic also the technical side of this 750 S is perfect.

This MV's rare and desirable early-production features include its unique, early cylinder heads, Borrani rims, petcocks, controls, and livery. The 750 Sport is accompanied by a report, weekly motorcycle magazine 26, 06-07-1973, which summarizes the bike's history, notes that the paint on the bike's tank is the original tricolore color scheme, and documents that "the engine and frame numbers correspond perfectly with the official factory records.”

No one will ever care for a bike as much as the owner who loves it, rides it, and maintains it.
