Straight from Bring A Trailer:
This 1975 MV Agusta 750S America is one of 200 produced during the first of the model’s two-year production run and is said to have been sold new by the late MV specialist Perry Bushong of Perry’s Motorcycles & Sidecars in Fort Worth, Texas.
Power comes from a 789cc DOHC inline-four mated to a five-speed transmission and a driveshaft, and features include a full fairing, a black suede seat cover, Borrani alloy rims, Scarab front disc brakes, a Ceriani fork, adjustable Sebac shocks, an aluminum cylinder head and cylinders, four Dell’Orto VHB carburetors, and a chrome four-into-four exhaust system.
The bike underwent a 2012 refurbishment that included some paintwork along with replacement of the final drive ring-and-pinion, and it was acquired by its current owner subsequent to being shown at the 2013 edition of The Quail Motorcycle Gathering in Carmel, California.
This 750S America is now offered in California by the seller on behalf of its owner with a clean Illinois title in the owner’s name that lists the bike as a 1976 model.

More from BaT:
A 750S America prototype was readied less than two months after MV importer and distributor Chris Garville and MV retailer and racer Jim Cotherman traveled to Varese, Italy, in 1974. There, they successfully lobbied MV management to evolve the existing 750S into a limited-edition luxury sport bike tailored for the American market with more power, angular styling that borrowed from MV’s contemporary race bikes, and features that met US-market requirements such as a left-side shifter, turn signals, and air filters.
RSBFS:
We posted one of these last fall and it ended up getting to $73,700 yet did not reach the reserve, so it did not sell. This is not the same bike, just the same make/model. Looks like I’ll be popping some pop corn 3 days from now…
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
