He’s sad because the bumming forum hadn’t been invented yet.

Count Domenico Agusta was well known for appreciating the value of publicity and getting things done. In 1949 he poached Piero Remor from Gilera and instructed him to build a 500cc racing four-cylinder engine. This made it from the drawing board to test bench in less than 15 weeks and did so because it was a virtual copy of Remor’s Gilera design. Then at the Milan Show at the end of 1950 MV displayed the R19, a 500cc street version of the racer. At the time an overhead camshaft single was considered exotic so a production double overhead camshaft four was remarkable. But the R19 was purely a publicity exercise and by the end of the 1950s even the most ardent enthusiast became tired of waiting and the R19 was largely forgotten.

It took several years for MV to develop their 500 into a consistent race winner but for 1956 they hired John Surtees and he rewarded them with their first 500cc World Championship. Surtees went on to win the 350 and 500cc World Championships from 1958 until 1960, Gary Hocking taking over in 1961 after Surtees retired. Mike Hailwood won the 350 and 500cc Championships for MV from 1962 until 1965 but with his departure to Honda the venerable four was pensioned off in favour of a new triple.
