US$5,228.41 MV Agusta 1970 GTL S 125cc 1 cyl ohv Frame # MV-GTL*658883*S Engine # *MV-656959*Having commenced motorcycle production late in 1945 with a 98cc two-stroke, Meccanica Verghera (MV) introduced its first production four-strokes, a brace of 175cc singles, at the Milan Show in 1952, the newcomers’ advanced overhead-cam, unit-construction engine setting them apart from most of the opposition.The first 125cc production roadster - the Gran Turismo - appeared in 1954 with single-cylinder overhead-valve engine, a format MV’s 125 would retain until the end of production in 1977/78.The 1960 line-up, which featured a trio of newcomers with engines displacing 99, 235 and 300cc respectively, MV Agusta returned to the more traditional capacity classes in 1961, launching the all-new Centomila in 125 and 150cc variants.They were powered by an overhead-valve four-stroke single built in unit with a four-speed gearbox, which went into MV’s familiar set of lightweight cycle parts.At the 1965 Milan Show the 125/150 range was updated with five-speed gearboxes, the 125 being offered in two guises: GT, with 8bhp engine, and the more sporting GTL S, which had 9.6 horsepower on tap.Like their larger siblings, the small MVs were very expensive – typically costing as much as a British 500 in the UK - which explains why they are so difficult to find.This MV Agusta 125 GTL S has been restored to original specification and to a high standard and has only been used on the road very sparingly.Specification :Single cylinder ohv 4-stroke pushrod engineDisplacement: 125 ccPower 9,6 HP16 mm carburettorIgnition: flywheel magnetoTop speed 110 km/h 69 mph
