PH2: MV Agusta Brutale 800

MV Agusta's Brutale gets a bit more brutal with a new 800cc version

---

Despite the 675 triple Brutale only just landing in the UK, MV Agusta has announced a brand new 800cc version of its naked bike.

Insert 'naked' and 'sexy' allusions here

Weighing just 167kg the Brutale 800 uses a longer stroked version of the counter-rotating triple engine from the F3. The 54.3mm stroke (up from 49.5mm) gives the 800 a claimed 125hp and 60lb ft of torque. As with the supersport bike the 800 comes with a comprehensive electronics package that includes eight-level traction control and four fuel modes.

The steel tubular/aluminium alloy frame is the same style as the 675 Brutale and the 800 also has a single-sided swingarm, four-piston radial Brembo brakes and fully adjustable suspension.

Prices are expect to be around the £10,000 mark with the colour choices red/silver, white/red, grey/white and blue/white.

Looks lush!

Where are the indicators on these?

Is it wrong I want to buy this and put it in my living room rather than actually ride it

Good idea - nothing like a piece of tech art in the home.

I'd like to ride it on sunny days though, even if I do prefer at least a bikini fairing to keep the wind off my chest.

I know it doesn't have the same style, but for the money I do think I'd have a hard time picking between these:
