MV AGUSTA
BRUTALE 800
IN THE U.S.
T
he first fruits of the new MV
Agusta North America venture
with Urban Moto Group are com-
ing through, with the arrival of the
2017 MV Agusta Brutale 800.
The Brutale will add yet
another machine into the mix
for riders looking for a midsized
naked and will go up against
the Kawasaki Z900, Yamaha
FZ-07, the new Triumph Street
Triple 765 and the soon-to-be-
released KTM 790 Duke.
The Brutale is powered by the
company's 798cc inline three-
cylinder that pumps out 109
horsepower at 11,500 rpm and
61 lb-ft of torque at 7600 rpm,
wrapped in a steel trellis section
chassis with suspension duties
falling to Marzocchi up front
and Sachs on the rear. Brembo
provides the brakes.
The new Brutale 800 is now
available for $13,498 MSRP in
Black Matte Metallic, Pearl Ice
White and Red.
