When it was replaced by the new triple in 1966, Count Agusta decided to make the Four available in limited numbers as a production bike. To prevent privateers converting it into a Grand Prix racer that might embarrass the factory, he stipulated it should be 600cc and have shaft final drive. The touring 600 eventually evolved into the 750 Sport and GT, and finally the America, but MV Fours were always built in extremely small numbers. As befits an engine that handed multiple World Championships to John Surtees, Gary Hocking, and Mike Hai!wood, the technical specification was staggering, and remains so to this day. This magnificent engine was always at the heart of the MV Agusta, and it was this engine that created and sustained the legend.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e Full description of model development\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003eA look at the 600, 750 and America prototypes\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003eExamines the racing history that led to the creation of the myth\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003eTips on riding and maintaining an MV four\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003eResearched with the cooperation of Arturo Magni, Dave and Mark Kay, and Albert Bola\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003eGuide to authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of the four-cylinder engine\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003eProduction numbers of the early fours\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eOther Details\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003ePublisher Code:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e9781845842031\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eISBN 10:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eISBN 13:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e9781845842031\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003ePublished:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e2011\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e255x255mm\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003ePages:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e240\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eIllustrations:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eHard Bound, colour ill\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eBarcode:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e9781845842031\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e Google Preview: \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Veloce Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47628017434844,"sku":"9781845842031","price":83.25,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/8297\/3404\/files\/apiq9qhfj__71403.1642581500.1280.1280.jpg?v=1772090531","url":"https:\/\/automotobookshop.com.au\/products\/the-book-of-the-classic-mv-agusta-fours","provider":"Automoto Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
