Introduced for the 1953 season the 175 CS was a significant machine for the factory in being their first volume production four stroke. During the design and development of the single overhead cam engine the MV engineers had pursued performance, a policy that resulted in the sporting variants of the model achieving considerable success in the then popular production bike racing classes. Various specifications were offered from the "basic" Tourismo that introduced the new model to the public at the November 1952 Milan Show to the Disco Volante (Flying Saucer) and Squalo (Shark) competition variants which did so much to elevate the public's perception of MV Agusta as manufacturer of performance machines.
The Disco Volante, so named because of the unusual shape of the fuel tank, offered, has resided until recently in Japan. It is equipped with full road equipment and the distinctive "Earles" forks favoured by the competition department at the time. Attractively finished with red paintwork and alloy rims it is described as being in good condition throughout.
