Developed from the 125 Sport GTL-S, the machine followed the striking horizontal lines and sharp contours of Giugiaro’s Ipotesi. Departing from MV’s usual practice of using a mixture of sheet and tubular steel frame a new all tube frame was used, which was finished in silver. Like the Ipotesi, a humped seat with the rear mudguard attached and side panels with slots were fitted. Ceriani front forks and a scarab disk brakes gave the front end a modern look. Although the single cilinder heritage dates back to the 1950s Centomila (so called because MV Agusta claimed the engine was capable of exceeding 100,000 km)
