I believe the Brutale is the most beautiful motorcycle made today.  I envy your test ride Chris, I would LOVE to ride one sometime.  



I'm sure bob would have let you ride it at Clearfield that year.

This was our motley crew... you can see the Brutale dead center, between - and behind - Wayne and Brian.



Here's Brian sitting on Bob's Brutale.



I'll have to find the pic, but later this bike was also "decorated" with cheese sticks in the frame.  Lol

Ah Hum... of course.   Embarassment


I-4s are boring pieces of machinery with no character or soul and have no business in Italian motorcycles!  Even Aprilia knows that.  Though it makes 4 cylinder mills, at least they're in a V format!

Reading comprehension: it's all the rage.  Lol

I rode a friend's Brutale... quite a ride. Quite a ride, indeed.
Well, excuse me for my meager reading skills. I will go and practice by reading the owners manual for my Brutale.

"Lighten up, Francis."



Would it better if we just stopped all this constructive conversation and started bashing Harleys? I mean, this *is* an MV Agusta thread.  Lol Lol Lol

Its warm enough here to still ride the Brutale when I am not going to reading class. I graduate from reading class in December but it will be too cold to ride the Brutale and I can start bashing Harleys in January. Using all my new reading skills to read up about Harleys so I can be a good basher.  I have seen a few DIs just like Warren Oates. They made Stripes while I was stationed at Ft. Knox.

I have heard a rumor that Bombardier Recreational Products may be in talks to purchase MV Agusta from Harley Davidson. Bombardier Recreational is privately held company (Family owned) by the same people who make trains & jets here in Canada & abroad. (The other parts of Bombardier are public companies).

BRP own the Bombardier, Ski Doo and Lynx, Sea Doo, Rotax, Evinrude & Johnson boat engine names. The family has very deep pockets and I am sure could raise the cash needed for what will no doubt be a firesale price on MV. They have been around since 1959.

Here is the thing. Bombardier is very well versed in doing business in Europe, and the MV line would be a perfect addition to their product line. Not to mention that they have a pretty strong world wide dealer network of 5000 dealers world wide.

Unfortunately I have not been able to find any press releases that confirm or deny the rumor, and BRP is a private company, they really don't have to divulge much.

Ok, so it's now officially out.    There are indeed 2 new Brutale's.
990R
and the 1090RR.  
Biggest diff being displacement, and 1090RR having more adjustable suspension, and a steering dampner. Along with paing schemes.
Pricing seems reasonable at $15,000 for the 990, and $18,000 for the 1090.

But the question remains...

Has anyone actually had the chance to ride one yet???

Actually looking forward for someone to "accidentally" run into me so I can upgrade from the SV.   Bigsmile

Just kidding!!!  Bigok

i saw it in person last monday...  :leghump:  seexyyy

i can honestly say it outshined the F4 next to it... pictures don't do it justice at all.
(made the ducs around the showroom seem lame)
i'm telling you, i don't know what it is, but it's rare to find myself smiling while looking at a bike nowdays.
one thing that stayed on my mind was the shape of the seat, interestingly orthogonal?

That's because the Brutale is a beautiful piece of functional kit (  Inlove Inlove Inlove ) and the F4 is just another lookalike plastic clad torture rack.
