1965, first GP at Nürburgring, first race for Agostini and the 3 cylinders and... first victory! In spite of 2 other victories in Finland and Italy, he lets the title slip. Jim Redman and his Honda will be titled. We have been waiting 1968 and Honda's fabulous 6 cylinders withdrawal to see Ago winning its first title in this category with this bike.
The 1969, 1970, 1971 titles followed and in 1972, the 3 cylinders, in end of development, took progressively place to the new 4 cylinders.
