The MV Agusta 500 four-cylinder (1973–1976) was a racing motorcycle manufactured by the Italian company MV Agusta, for competing in the 500 cc series, the premier class of the FIM World Motorcycle Championship. With this motorcycle MV Agusta won the 1973 constructor’s world champion and Phil Read won the 1973 and 1974 500 cc riders world championships

The MV 500 Four enjoyed unchallenged success in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s in the hands of riders such as Gary Hocking (pictured), John Surtees and Mike Hailwood.
