Though MV’s first bike was built in 1945, it wasn’t until 1953 when they debuted their first production four-stroke motor. The CST and CSTL (Turismo Lusso) were ahead of their time thanks to features like an overhead cam in the stressed-member motor, a motor that was used as a stressed member of the frame, and a full suspension front and rear.

The main difference between the CST and the “Lusso” was a single seat versus a dual seal.

The TL featured a 172cc motor that produced 8 horsepower and pushed them through a 4-speed transmission.

This example is VIN: 412209, Engine #: 409266T. The seller bought it in a collection of motorcycles roughly 8-10 years ago and it was previously part of the Michael Harper Smith collection in Tarzana, California.

The seller notes that “there is no odometer but a CEV filler plug in the headlight. I do know if all of them had a speedo, I think probably but I’ve never seen a CEV filler plug either.” True mileage is unknown.

Maintenance:
The seller has not performed any maintenance and notes the bike likely needs a new battery.

Modifications:
The seller believes that this bike is stock.

Inside of the tank:

It is riding on Cheng Shin tires that have aged out.

Cosmetic Blemishes: please see the album up top for all known cosmetic blemishes. Here is a selection:
The entire bike is blemished. Its better just to note that the chrome wheels, muffler and exhaust are shiny. It seems the bike is mechanically very good.”



Currently located in Edgewater, Florida, this MV Agusta is offered on a clean Pennsylvania title. Have any CSTL stories or questions about this listing? Let us know in the “Comments” tab!

Please Note:
Florida law requires the payment of sales tax from all persons making purchases from businesses in Florida. This includes out of state residents purchasing motor vehicles in Florida from motor vehicle dealers.

There are two exceptions: (1) purchases made by licensed resellers/dealers with copies of the dealer’s license and tax certificate provided to us at the time of sale, or (2) where we consign and ship the motorcycle to the buyer (i.e interstate commerce). Dealer purchases will be reassigned to the named licensed dealer and not to any personal account.

In most cases and pursuant to existing interstate agreements, purchaser will receive credit for any taxes paid to Florida. For more information please see this Tax Information Publication (TIP) from the Florida Department of Revenue.

Florida further allows tax abatement, i.e. a reduced tax rate, where the purchaser completes Form DR-123 and provides a notarized copy of the same to the seller at the time of sale. In such cases, the tax may be reduced to the lesser of the Florida rate or the rate in the buyer’s home state, whichever is less.

We therefore will be collecting the Florida sales tax of 6% on all purchases except those by licensed dealers having provided current copies of the dealer license and tax resale certificate to us at time of sale, or on products shipped by us to the buyer in the buyer’s home state. We will apply or refund any tax abatement applicable for persons who have provided the completed Form DR-123 at time of sale. The abatement will be processed along with the paper and title work after the sale. Florida residents may further be subject to their county surtax, where applicable. This applies only to select counties where you might live, generally 0.5 to 1%.

We will process Florida title/tag for Florida residents or persons titling said vehicles for street use in Florida. This typically runs about $150-160 in Florida charges + sales tax for title transfers and registration of street bikes, less for OHV vehicles where customers require OHV titles and green stickers. We never charge extra dealer or bogus document fees.

We must strictly adhere to these policies. Feel free to call Bullpen Cycles [484-788-9550] with your questions. We’ll do our best to help.
