Got 1.5 mil lying about? How about investing it in this MV Agusta?
Hand built. 205bhp. 500 units available.
Well… maybe not. Seems that most are sold already.
So if you are a collector or just have a huge love of bikes, you’d better hurry.
Check those integrated winglets that pull inspiration from the 1972 500cc grand prix race bike.
Interestingly, we are told that 41 carbon fibre elements can be found throughout the bike.
They took the 998cc four-cylinder engine found in the Brutale 1000RR super naked and updated it to bring you 205.2bhp at 13,000rpm. The motor houses DLC coated cams, titanium conrods and valves as well as a balance shaft to reduce vibration from the engine.
You will reach 14,000rpm before you even touch the redline. The sound track is via a four piece silencer that exits under the seat like the F4. Akrapovic has especially developed the exhaust for this bike and is made from titanium and fitted with a carbon fibre heat shield.
It’s got all the bells and whistles:
Quick shifter up and down, Lean sensitive ABS, cruise control and mobile connectivity all via a colour 5.5inch TFT display.
Eight stage traction control system and if you feel like it, you can switch it off.
Three road modes, two wet modes and for the track you get another three modes.
The launch control works with a front lift control that maintains the optimal angle for the rider’s acceleration and won’t just slam your front wheel back down. You can also switch that off.
Up front, the 43mm upside down Öhlins forks give 120mm of travel, Adjustments are electronic for compression and rebound, but you will have to adjust the preload yourself. The bike has an Öhlins steering damper which is electronically adjustable and at the rear a 36mm shock fully adjustable by electronics also by Öhlins.
The wheels are unique spoked rims with some red detailing. Those are, dressed in Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V4 tyres that Pirelli has designed exclusively for this bike.
Brembo (of course!) are the brakes of choice, 320mm discs with aluminium flanges accompanied by radial Stylema callipers.
Out back you’ll find a 220mm disc…
All donations are welcome! We’d love to park one in this here garage…
