MV Augusta Brutale

The MV Augusta Brutale has been around for around a decade and has had a number of updates to keep it in the minds for naked  motorcycle buyers. Despite the age of the platform there have been many special editions which are genuinely exotics and limited editions. Of course you may buy a Brutale for its the unique custom editions but the normal versions look good too. I also think that Ducati got some inspiration for the latest Monster from the Brutale – not hard to see really.

I like the Brutale as it is but the limited editions take the look to the next level and genuinely look like a very good aftermaket show production. It’s also good that there a multiple engine choices and none are underpowered. Due the number of variants there specification can vary. The draw back is that any Brutale is quite expensive even the entry level 800 model.

The MV Augusta Brutale looks good as standard and excellent when a limited edition, the Brutale Dragster in particular is really nice. I think any Brutale is well worth a look if you’re after a naked motorcycle I’m keen that’s for sure just can’t decide which edition I want…
