For Sale: 1975 MV Agusta 750 Sport America
This bike goes a bit further back than most we post here on RSBFS – but what a beauty it is! Constructed in some of the final days of the Meccanica Verghera Agusta (MV was to win their final Grand Prix only a year later), the 750 Sport embodied everything the company came to know about performance. Today this bike is known more for appearance and price than performance, but in its day it was a genuine hot rod.
From the seller:
This nicely preserved MV Agusta 750 Sport originally came from Germany; where it had been taken to an MV dealer to be converted to ‘America’ specification. It was brought over to Canada and sold to acclaimed Canadian film director David Cronenberg (the endorsed Ontario Registration is still in his name). It changed hands briefly and was acquired by the current owner; who embarked on a minor cosmetic restoration that brought the machine to the state you see in now. Note that the tail light and left hand switchgear were not hooked-up during the restoration.The MV has been on display in a climate-controlled environment during its current ownership and has a commanding presence.
This auction is in the rarified air above $20k. Not many bidders venture into that territory, but this is one of those bikes that can command the highest dollars from a collector. An old school classic from when the family of Count Agusta still ran the works, these are highly sought after and very rare.

WOW! Now that is a rare sportbike!
If I recall correctly, the last one of these I saw for sale was upwards of $75,000. Personally I would rather have a Laverda from that period but this MV is a hell of a bike.
You might be recalling a 750s. They were red, white and blue and are in the $75k range. A good buddy of mine has one and enters it in shows as well as takes it on rides. I’ve had the honor of photographing it and will again in the near future.
Now that is what I call a bike . I was raised with the “old school bikes” . I always liked the MV racers . This was the closest thing at the time that you could buy , to a racer . WOW ! RSBFS always has the coolest bikes ! Thums up !!!
