2020
The 2020 MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR is a naked motorcycle that continues the Brutale lineage, known for its aggressive styling and performance. This model year refines the already sharp design while maintaining the core Brutale experience. Direct competitors in the naked middleweight class include bikes like the Yamaha MT-09 and the Ducati Monster 821.
At the heart of the Brutale 800 RR lies a potent 798.0 ccm three-cylinder engine. This powerplant generates a substantial 87.0 Nm of torque at 10100 RPM, providing strong acceleration throughout the rev range. The bike is capable of reaching a top speed of 244.0 km/h, making it suitable for riders seeking high-speed thrills. Even with its performance focus, the bike manages to keep its dry weight down to 175.0 kg, contributing to its agile handling. Fuel capacity sits at 16.50 litres.
The riding position is typical of a performance-oriented naked bike, offering an upright stance for good visibility, but with a slight forward lean that encourages aggressive riding. The seat height is 830 mm, which might be a consideration for shorter riders. Rearset pegs contribute to a sporty feel and allow for greater lean angles. While not specifically designed for long-distance touring, it can handle shorter trips with reasonable comfort. The responsive throttle and quick-revving engine make it a joy to ride on twisty roads.
The MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR is aimed at experienced riders who appreciate Italian design and are looking for a motorcycle with character and performance. It's for those who value sharp handling and a distinctive engine note over outright practicality or comfort. It's a motorcycle that prioritizes the riding experience and visual appeal above all else, making it an exciting choice for those seeking something different from the mainstream.
