Italeri: 1:9 MV Augusta 500cc 1964 Model Kit
This Cardan-transmission motorcycle, first built in 1950, reached a peak of
reliability and competitiveness in 1956 when it adopted chain transmission and
a telescopic front fork. The 500 cc 4-cylinder MV Agusta was ridden by the
worlds most famous racers – J. Surtees, M. Hailwood, G. Hocking and G.
Agostini. Thanks to them this near-unbeatable motorcycle dominated the 500 cc
category from 1956 to 1965, winning 9 world titles. It continued competing
until 1966 when it was retired to make way for a new, lighter, more manageable
3-cylinder motorcycle.The model, pre-moulded in the original colours and with
chrome-plated parts, also
features working suspension and rubber tyres.
