MV AGUSTA BRUTALE 800

[Hamish]

I think this may be my dream bike! Loving the triple pipes and single sided swing arm. Pricy though.

NO HOTLINKING!

Despite the 675 triple Brutale only just landing in the UK, MV Agusta has announced a brand new 800cc version of its naked bike.

Insert 'naked' and 'sexy' allusions hereWeighing just 167kg the Brutale 800 uses a longer stroked version of the counter-rotating triple engine from the F3. The 54.3mm stroke (up from 49.5mm) gives the 800 a claimed 125hp and 60lb ft of torque. As with the supersport bike the 800 comes with a comprehensive electronics package that includes eight-level traction control and four fuel modes.
The steel tubular/aluminium alloy frame is the same style as the 675 Brutale and the 800 also has a single-sided swingarm, four-piston radial Brembo brakes and fully adjustable suspension.

Prices are expect to be around the £10,000 mark with the colour choices red/silver, white/red, grey/white and blue/white

That looks damn nice. Om nom nom nom.

 

[edd1e]

does look sexy, hope it's not as uncomfy as the F3 i sat on though!

 

[Yaayuh!]

I'd prefer the Speed Triple or Ducati Monster tbh. Does look quite nice though.

 

[PU7E]

Needs more black! looks ace though.

All lovely except the nasty exhaust

 

[Griffo]

Haha, that looks awesome!

I think the exhaust looks a bit nicer than Triumph's effort on next year's Street, which just looks poop compared to the good old high-level cans.

SEX. *drool*

The rear 3/4 shot looks amazing, love the exhausts but the front 3/4 looks pretty meh, really don't like the headlight. Yeah next years street's zaust looks pretty rubbish as well.

I don't like it at all it just looks all wrong & the front light assembly is hideous.

 

[VoG]

Shame the rearlight/indicator/numberplate cluster will utterly wreck the look of the clean rear end.

I don't know why they feel they have to do something quirky with the light. Even Ducati do it with the Monster. I much prefer the old Monster with the perfectly round light.
