development
After the MV Agusta 600 model was not a great success due to its touring machine design and lack of design, the successor model was revised from a sporting perspective. The four-cylinder engine, developed on the basis of the racing engine, was expanded by drilling, the exhaust system was upgraded according to the number of cylinders, the seat was changed, a sports handlebar was attached and the brand was painted accordingly.
Technical specifications
The core of the engine is the so-called shoulder, a control and bearing housing; crank drive, cylinder and cylinder head were mounted on it. The shoulder accommodated the crankshaft, which was composed of nine parts, in six bearing blocks, as did the spur gears in the control tower for the double camshaft drive. After loosening twelve nuts, the units mounted on the shoulder could be lifted out. Particularly noticeable was the fine ribbing of the cooling fins and the oversized cylinder head due to the double camshaft drive. The transversely installed cassette gear was driven by the engine through a toothed crank arm. It was connected to the cardan shaft to the rear wheel via a spiral bevel gear drive. The footshift was on the right side, the first gear was up, all other gears were shifted down. In contrast to the predecessor model MV Agusta 600, duoduplex drum brakes were used on the telescopic fork from 1970 to 1973, and from model year 1974 a hydraulic two-disc brake from Scarab was used.

The model variants were essentially identical to the basic variant MV Agusta 750 S. In 1975 only the basic model was imported to Germany.
- MV Agusta GT (1972-74): A reduced-power version (69 hp / 51 kW at 8450 min -1 ) with Tour handlebars and only in white-bronze available. A total of 33 copies of this model were made.

Exclusivity
Since Japan discovered the world motorcycle market for itself around 1970, both traditionally English and especially Italian motorcycle manufacturers often ran into financial difficulties early on. The prices were relatively high, the numbers produced remained low and accordingly few motorcycles remained in Europe. Contemporary MV Agusta 750 S and their successors to these first series were among others. a. maximum exclusivity thanks to the racing successes of MV Agusta. The few machines were almost all restored at enormous financial expense and mostly remained in the hands of collectors. If one of these rarities reaches the used vehicle market, very high prices are achieved today.
