this mv is not a four but a three look at the pipes and count

@laziosociaria, from minute 2.22, there are four MVs; from left to right; the experimental 350cc six cylinder (1972?); 500cc four cylinder (1974); another 500cc four cylinder (1975) and on the right it might well be a 500cc three cylinder in 1973 configuration (front disc brake and wire wheel -likely Read's bike or a reserve. Agostini's bike was equipped with a magnesium front wheel in '73.

@laziosociaria I thought so too, until the bike is rolled off the stand toward the end. The fourth pipe is there.

Thank you for the comments; I still remember the wall of sound when it eventually started.

Those 500cc fours are engrained in my memory since I saw them first in the 1974 Assen paddock.

But why the barbaric treatment here? I remember that the MV mechanics had the engine spinning with one short push.
