Overview[edit | edit source]

MV Agusta 250 Turismo







The displacement may come as a surprise as in the post-war era it was certainly large.

The quarter-litre category was rather popular abroad (such as in England), but in Italy it was rare.


The front suspension was a cutting-edge telescopic fork.

The rear suspension was placed further back and was still a plunger-box type. The engine was typical for the time, the cylinder and head were made of cast iron. It was sold in a single color, an elegant metallic silver Source
