I often get asked the "if money was no object, what motorcycle would you buy?" question. And, depending on what way the wind is blowing, I'll often answer with "An MV Agusta Brutale". Most of the people who ask the question aren't bike nerds like us, but they all light up when they see a picture of a Brutale, regardless of which of the three generations they see. Well, soon, we'll have another generation to drool over.
The Italian brand announced that it'll unveil the latest generation of Brutale at EICMA, this November, and it'll be powered by a new 950 EVO triple. Next year will be the model's 25th anniversary, so giving it a special update, like a new powerplant, makes sense. But that's not all that it's getting because accompanying the new engine is a redesigned chassis.
“In 2001, the Brutale rewrote the rules of the naked category, instantly becoming an icon. Today, 25 years later, we celebrate that revolution with a new generation that does not simply rebirth itself but evolves, representing a renewed interpretation of our vision: going beyond pure performance,” says Luca Martin, MV Agusta Chief Executive Officer. “The new Brutale is more powerful, refined, and thrilling, yet it remains true to its soul: a motorcycle designed by riders, for riders. An icon Made in Italy, ready to inspire motorcyclists around the world for the next 25 years.”
