The MV Agusta 350 6 cilindri (MV Agusta 350 6-cylinder) was a prototype racing motorcycle built by the Varese company MV Agusta in 1957,[4] for the 350 cc class of the FIM Motorcycle World Championship. The project was resurrected in 1968. Neither version was ever used in a race.[5] The only surviving model is now in the MV Agusta factory museum.[6]
