How rare is it? What is disputed is just how many 750 Americas were made in the two years, 1975 and 1976. What is without dispute is that this example, with its low mileage, original paint and humbling patina, is very rare.
With less than 6, 000 miles on the odometer, the bike is hardly broken in.
The 750 America, a development of the 750 S produced from 1970 into 1975 for a total of 556 units, was the model set to conquer the American market. Ambitious goals – there was talk in 1974 of MV selling 4, 000-4, 500 bikes in 1975 in the US alone – were set after lengthy talks between MV and “the US duo Chris Garville and Jim Cotherman”, the former of the Commerce Overseas Corporation (already a small MV importer) and the latter an Illinois dealer who had bought a few bikes from MV direct. With full encouragement from a hungry MV, they talked about a “Made for America” 750 that could be sold in much larger numbers. MV soon got to work. The 750 America was the result.
