Overview[edit | edit source]
MV Agusta 125 Pullman
The Pullman was a courageous and innovative motorcycle.
The public showed interest and appreciation for such a distinctive bike, designed for comfort rather that brilliant performance.
The first series had a hand operated gearbox, whereas on the second series it was foot operated. One aspect stood out more than others: the wheels were a medium diameter while the tires were wide.
The frame was also an original curved single beam.
