"We are writing a new chapter in the glorious history - rich in tradition and victories - of MV Agusta. A new chapter of renewed excitement, commitment and investment in the Brand and its future" commented Enrico d'Onofrio, Managing Director of MV Agusta.
The new Brutale keeps the essential lines of the model that over the years has touched the heart of fans, while boosting and enriching the technological content: almost all of the technical and aesthetic components have been completely renewed.
The Brutale pushes the limits of research and technology with its 2010 models - the 990R and the 1090RR. With its state-of-the-art components, the 2010 Brutale delivers acclaimed performance and ease of riding, in keeping with the "Made in MV" formula: a commitment to excellence in components, in the design of which MV Agusta is at the forefront. The "easy" handling enables the Brutale to compete with the Japanese naked bikes: it is agile and instinctive in the hands of the rider.
It excels on the racetrack, and its eclectic elegance and charm thrill even the casual admirer. To achieve these results, it was necessary to replace 85% of the components, but the new Brutale has preserved the significant style features of previous versions.
The work carried out on the 990R and 1090RR cannot be defined as mere restyling; rather, it is a silent MV Agusta revolution.

Brutale 990R Brutale 1090RR Many of these parts have been designed and crafted by MV Agusta, rather than sourced from aftermarket suppliers, thereby affording technical and aesthetic perfection.
Of all the world's manufacturers, only MV Agusta obsessively pursues aesthetic perfection in its component design, because its aim is to make beautiful what others make only functional.
The Paul Feeney Group expects the new models late in the 1st quarter of 2010. Prices for both models are unknown at this stage.
