Italeri 1/9 MV Agusta 500 cc 4 Cylinders 1964 - Kit introduction

The MV Agusta 500 cc is a defining race bike from mid 20th century motorsport, celebrated for its engineering and championship record. Italeri recreates that motorcycle at 1/9 scale, representing the machine that dominated the 500 cc class from 1956 to 1965 and achieved nine world titles. Riders like John Surtees and Mike Hailwood are part of its famed legacy.

Historical upgrades and model accuracy

In its competitive life the MV Agusta evolved from Cardan to chain drive and adopted a telescopic front fork, measures that improved on-track performance. The model reflects these developments with accurate mouldings, chrome-plated items and pre-moulded colours to reproduce period detail faithfully.

Detailing, mechanics and finish

The kit features working suspension and rubber tyres to add authentic motion to the display model. At 1/9 scale the components are crafted for clarity and realism, making this a rewarding build for collectors who value precision and historic accuracy.
