Is this the new MV Agusta 600?

NO, IT'S NOT but we thought you'd like a shufti at this: a 1968 MV 600 4.

Looking more BMW than MV Agusta, the forty-two-year-old 600 features a gorgeous sandcast DOHC inline four engine, shaft drive, cable-operated front disc brakes and some rather bizarre styling.

Weird, eh?
