MV Agusta Brutale 675

MV Agusta has revealed its latest naked bike, the Brutale 675. Due for a public debut at next week’s EICMA bike show, the new arrival features plenty of technology combined with striking looks.

Like the F3, power comes from a 675 cc three-cylinder engine with a counter-rotating crankshaft. For the Brutale its power output is reduced slightly to 113 bhp (84 kW / 114 PS) at 12,500 rpm, although peak torque of 71 Nm (52 lb/ft) at 10,600 rpm remains the same.



Both are impressive figures that promise exciting performance, especially as the bike weighs just 163 kg (358 lbs) without fluids.



The brain of the Brutale 675 is the Motor and Vehicle Integrated Control System, or MVICS for short. This links the ‘Full Ride By Wire’ throttle, the engine maps (four standard plus an additional one that’s rider programmable) and the eight-stage traction control system.



Keeping the MV on the road is a suspension set-up that includes 43 mm upside-down front forks and a single-sided, aluminium alloy rear swingarm which incorporates a Sachs damper. Stopping power comes courtesy of Brembo radial calipers, dual 320 mm front discs and a single 220 mm rear disc.



Buyers will be able to choose from either Red / Silver, Pearl White / Matt Gold or Matt Magno Grey / Matt Anthrocite colour schemes when sales begin in March 2012.



The Eurozone price has been set at €8,990 (subject to local tax variations), while in the UK the MV Agusta Brutale 675 will cost £7,999 on the road.
