MV AGUSTA GERMANE SPORT 1 A SERIE
Street
PERFORMANCE Speed: 40 kph
Germano Sport 1a serie
The “ Sport “ version of the Germano has a lowered setup and a longer seat, giving the bike a more aggressive appearence. It came in two versions, which reflected the respective model serie basis. The first edition had a single beam frame in pressed steel and didn’t exactly exude performance. The version seen here, appealed to the younger public. MV felt that introducing their products to fledging riders would create a ready pool of buyers in the future. The DKW-built engine was rated at a lofty 1,5 HP, hurling the Germano Sport to 40 km/h.
