The sporty version of MV's first four-stroke, with lower bars, a longer seat, a bigger carburettor and higher compression than the touring 175. The 1954 bikes had a wide, flattened tank that earned the 'flying saucer' (Disco Volante) nickname; later years used a different tank. It was affordable and popular as a base for club racing.
