yep thats what it is

Mick King, owner of Superformance Motorcycles in Vancouver (one of the first performance/custom bike shops in Western Canada) built an interesting special in the late 1960s, using a Norton Featherbed frame and a salvaged NSU car engine. This was around the same time Friedl Münch was building his first specials along the same lines

Well, I did say to be precise. According to the auction house that sold it for $30,000 ( http://www.midamericaauctions.com/motorcycle/mv/1968-mv-agusta-600-roadster-four/ )

it is a 1968. And according to the manufacturer, it is called a '4C6'.

Furthermore, the same auction house claims that that Agusta was only sold from 1968-1970.

 

"1968 MV Agusta 600 Roadster Four

 

When Cycle World magazine tested (March 1968) the 600 Roadster Four, it said that it was “perhaps the premier roadster of the world.” With its air-cooled 600cc, four-cylinder, 4-stroke inline engine, it was a cross-continent capable machine that was world-class. With a five-speed gearbox and a shaft-drive configuration, smoothness was a given. Rated at 52 HP at 8000 rpm, it could touch 165 Km/h. The 600 Roadster Four was one of the few MV’s sold in America. It was produced from 1968 to 1970 in 127 units. The price of 1.160.000 Lire was rather high and only well-to-do customer could afford it. Titled in Michigan."

how do i make the piks big like yours are ?

:confused24:

 

If you are talking about the 'attached thumbnail' pic: upload your selected pic to your post as normal. After the upload is completed, you will see the name of the uploaded pic highlighted as a link. Right click on that link and 'save link location'. In the dialog window, click on the icon that looks like mountains, paste the saved link location into the text box and enter.

On your post you will see the same 'attached thumbnail' and the full size pic of the same thumbnail.

 

If you are speaking of large pics that are displaying larger than the 640x640 pixels maximum that this website allows to be attached via the 'attached thumbnail', those large pics are direct copy and paste from the website that I found the pic on. Called 'hot links'.

Kawasaki mock-up, Project T103. Precursor for Z1. https://www.z-power.co.uk/merchantmanager/view_information.php?pId=21

 

The mock-up was completed in October 1968. However, Honda announced a new 750cc single-over-head-cam (SOHC) motorcycle at the Tokyo Motor Show held the same year. The Kawasaki management staff realized it was meaningless to come out with a similar model after Honda had already introduced theirs, so all development efforts on Kawasaki's 750cc model were stopped.

The bike never reached production because of the state of the British bike industry at the time and the era of the two stroke was coming to an end.

1976–79 Benelli 250 Quattro

Benelli's littlest Quattro was the first production 250cc four. It was interesting technically, but not a stellar ride. It was as weak off idle as you'd expect, but it didn't rev out as willingly as its Grand Prix lineage would have suggested. It was the most expensive and least powerful multi-cylinder 250 available while it was in production. To increase performance, the original 231cc displacement was increased to 300, then 350, then 400cc, but it never performed as well as others in whatever displacement class it was it. Eventually Japan produced its own, better 250 fours. By then, the little Benelli had already lost its novelty.
