MV Agusta calls their Brutale the “king of hypernaked bikes thanks to the absolute quality of the components, the advanced engine and benchmark electronics.” MCN called it “the best MV have produced in a very long time,” adding that “underneath its layers of shiny paint and away from its designer labels, decadent styling and fancy electronics it’s a well-sorted, involving, refined and capable motorcycle.”
“Unlike other straight-barred super nakeds, the MV has slightly raised clip-ons, giving you the sense you’re on a stripped-down superbike, or the world’s most unhinged café racer.” The 205+ horsepower engine was paired with Brembo Stylema monobloc calipers and electronic Öhlins NIX30 fork/TTX shock. Ignoring limited production models, only the Ducati Panigale V4 SP had a higher MSRP than this MV when it was released. “For the ultimate in showy, super naked decadence the MV Agusta will be right up your strada, if you’ve got cash to splash.”
This example has 2,200 miles and is said to be “like new”/all stock. I owned one of these for a few months and the power was thrilling but kind of absurd for a naked bike, and this seems like a reasonable price to get that experience for yourself.
