Stunning, blow your mind, hot. Beautiful, even.
Ultra-compact three cylinder engine with counter-rotating crankshaft, producing115bhp at 12,500rpm.
Ride by wire throttle, multiple engine maps and eight-way adjustable traction control.
359lbs (163kg) dry weight.
Single-sided rear swingarm with a Sachs rear shock.
Race-caliber brakes with radial calipers.
And these are (just) a few of my favorite things.
But the most remarkable, jaw-dropping feature on this new Brutale is... the price. And no, it is not because of the normal MV bank-account-draining qualities. This MV is inexpensive.
Yes. You read that correctly. Inexpensive. With MV in the same sentance, without the word "not". In fact, in Europe, at least, the Brutale 675 will be priced below the Triumph Speed Triple R, despite being lighter, more powerful, and sporting more performance-oriented gadgets.
MV is bringing it hard (and fast) to Ducati and Triumph. I have to say, I am seriously impressed. And in serious need to ride that Brutale 675; the naked supersport with an Italian soul and the heart of a litre bike.
Cheers!
