MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR

The MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR has often been criticized due to its over-the-top looks and menacing power.

Despite being labelled as a naked motorcycle, the Brutale 1000 RR is deemed too extreme and lacks the level of comfort needed as a daily commuter.

Moreover, with a price tag of around EUR34,000 (RM170k), the Brutale 1000 RR is rarely considered as a top choice two-wheeler on everyone’s mind.

Nonetheless, the Italian manufacturer intends to do something about it by introducing the Brutale 1000 RS, claimed to be a “softer” version of the current RR.

Based on newly published European type-approval documents, the RS will offer better riding ergonomics thanks to wider and straighter handlebars.

The new variant will also come with a different suspension setup to be better suited for the road.

However, it will retain the same F4-derived powerplant capable of producing 205hp @ 13,000rpm and 117Nm @ 11,000rpm.

MV Agusta has just unveiled the updated 2021 Brutale 1000 RR ‘hyper naked’ motorcycle.

At a glance, it’s hard to pinpoint the changes on what remains to be one of the most bizarre yet extreme looking motorcycles in the market.

The updated Brutale 1000 RR looks virtually identical to the previous model, including the power figure, as it remains at 208hp and 116.5Nm.

Nonetheless, the 1000cc engine now Euro 5 compliant, which means despite the same monstrous power, it is now cleaner thanks to tweaked valve guides and exhaust system.

Like the recently launched F3 Rosso, the Brutale 1000 RR now equips with cornering ABS by Contentinal incorporated into the Continental IMU for better handling and ride experience.

Riders will also appreciate the 5.5″ TFT cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, navigation system and Mobistat tracker.

MV Agusta is going full swing to get things back on track and their latest ultra-limited-edition model, the MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR Blue & White M.L, is probably the next catalyst in getting the ball rolling. What’s even more special is the fact that this blue & white bike is a one-off, making it one of the rarest new bikes this world has seen yet. Yes, it’s 001/001. (more…)
