The MV Agusta 125 SOHC, also called the MV Agusta 125 Monoalbero was a motorcycle produced by MV Agusta as a "Catalog" racer for the public in 1953. Privateer racers could purchase this race bike and be competitive with a machine that was very similar to MV Agusta's motorcycles built for racing. The motorcycle remained in production until 1956.[1]

In 1953 many racers adopted the dustbin fairing design on the MV Agusta 125 Bialbero. The dustbin was a very large fairing that was built with air flow in mind. In 1957, the dustbin fairing was banned due to riders being injured when strong crosswinds blew the racers off the track.
