2020
The MV Agusta Rush 1000 from 2020 is an exclusive, limited-edition naked bike derived from the brutal Brutale 1000 RR. It occupies a space in the hyper-naked category, competing directly with machines like the Ducati Streetfighter V4 S and Kawasaki Z H2. The Rush 1000 aims for a unique aesthetic and an even more aggressive riding experience than its already potent sibling.
At the heart of the Rush 1000 lies a potent 998.0 ccm inline-four engine. This powerplant generates a maximum power output of 209.0 HP (152.6 kW) at a screaming 13000 RPM. That power is complemented by a substantial 116.6 Nm (11.9 kgf-m or 86.0 ft.lbs) of torque, arriving at 11000 RPM. All this translates to a claimed top speed of 300.0 km/h (186.4 mph). The bike's dry weight is a relatively trim 186.0 kg (410.1 pounds), contributing to its rapid acceleration and agile handling. Fuel capacity is 16.00 litres (4.23 US gallons), which might require careful planning for longer rides given the bike's appetite for fuel at high speeds.
The riding experience on the Rush 1000 is focused and intense. The upright stance offers good visibility, but the bike's track-focused ergonomics, including the positioning of the rearset pegs, make it clear that this machine favors aggressive riding. The seat height of 845 mm (33.3 inches) might pose a challenge for shorter riders. The suspension is firm and responsive, providing excellent feedback from the road, but potentially at the expense of long-distance comfort.
The MV Agusta Rush 1000 is aimed at experienced riders who demand exclusivity, raw power, and a distinctive design. It's not a bike for beginners or those seeking a comfortable touring machine. It's a statement piece, a high-performance naked bike that prioritizes visceral thrills and visual impact above all else. While other bikes offer similar performance, the Rush 1000 delivers a unique ownership experience with its limited production run and uncompromising attitude.
