As we wind down our EICMA coverage, we present to you the 2010 MV Agusta Brutale 1090RR. Like the 990R, the 1090RR bares a strong resemblance to its predecessors, despite MV’s claim that the bike is over 80% brand new. While maybe bland in the creativity box, the classic Brutale line is a timeless hit. As such, the MV Agusta Brutale 1090RR was quite the crowd pleaser…maybe that’s why MV never changes it.
Is the sporty look not your style? Don’t worry then, MV Agusta has some options for those not looking to upgrade their Brutale with the MV Agusta Corse parts bin. Helping make the MV Agusta 990R more comfortable, practical, and unique, MV showcased a bevy of accessories for its Brutale line. Check out the photos after the jump.
You may remember the deliciously carbonized MV Agusta F4 Corse we showed you a week back, consider this its more naked brother. The 2010 MV Agusta Brutale 1090RR Corse shown at EICMA is an example of the tasty race bits MV’s racing branch can crank out for its product line-up. Dust-off your drool bucket again, there’s photos after the jump.
We’re going to keep this one definitively filed under “rumors” still, but someone just dropped this photo off in the comments section of our spy shots of the MV Agusta “F3” three-cylinder motorcycle post. Leaving an @mvagusta.it email address, and mvagusta.com as the linked website, the suggestion would seem to be that this is spy shot is of the head off the MV Agusta F3. Totally legit, right?
That is of course until you realize the MV Agusta email address is a fake (we got an instant response from the server that no such email address existed on its domain), and that the user was posting from an IP address in the rain-soaked Netherlands.
We’re fairly confident in our saying that this is in fact not an image of the fabled MV Agusta three-cylinder, and instead just the product of a northern-Dutchman with too much winter on his hands.
But it just goes to show you, you can’t trust everything you read on the internet these days.
Obviously when you’re debuting a new motorcycle, you have to come up with some sort of video to promote the bike’s launch, but what do you include in the video? Close-ups of the bike? Yes. Tall and leggy blonde vixens? Of course. Multiple shots of the bike on a desolate track doing its thing? Naturally. A little B&E action? Yea…wait, what?!?
We don’t understand this video from MV Agusta, but it does seem to have a bit more plot than some of other online movies we’ve been seeing lately. Click past the jump for a heist adventure MV-style.
For a company with only a handful of models in its 2010 line of motorcycles, MV Agusta sure did take up a large plot of land at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, Italy this last week. To help promote and show-off the MV Agusta Corse line of aftermarket and racing parts, MV put together this sinister looking carbon fiber F4. Photos and more after the jump.
Harley-Davidson, Inc. has retained the services of French investment banking group BNP Paribas to help sell the sportbike manufacturer MV Agusta, thus taking the next step in divesting the Italian brand from the Milwaukee company. Helping fuel speculation, BNP Paribas, with its team based out of Milan, Italy, is another sign that MV could end up in Italian hands after its sale concludes.
The 2010 MV Agusta F4 has been hyped extensively by MV, but after seeing the Brutale release, we were skeptical about what the new F4 would bring. Expectedly, the 2010 MV Agusta F4 is based of Massimo Tamburini’s iconic design, and is updated to fit more with modern tastes. But MV has also changed the bike underneath the hood. More on that, photos, and technical specifications after the jump.
It’s less than a week from the unveiling of the 2010 MV Agusta F4, and already we’ve been teased with a photo of the front of the motorcycle, and a render of its rear. Helping to fan the fire to the ungoing hype that’s surrounded the new F4, MV Agusta has released a teaser video that shows the bike off even more. Video after the jump.
In exactly one week’s time, A&R will be toughing it out in the harsh Milanese winter, sipping our cappucino, while MV Agusta shows us the latest iteration of their F4 Superbike. After releasing photos of the new 2010 MV Agusta Brutale, and teasing us with the front-view of the F4, we were a little worried the design of the new MV flagship (rendered above) was going to be a little stale. Will the new MV live up to the hyperbole? Only time will tell. Rumored bike details after the jump.
Most of the internet is still abuzz over the news of Buell’s demise (don’t worry, your friends who read print magazines will hear the news in a month or two), but for the people at MV Agusta, right now is perhaps even more precarious because their future is uncertain. Harley-Davidson’s decision to circle the wagons around the HD brand, meant for MV that they would once again be up for auction to the highest bidder. This timing perhaps comes at the absolute worst moment, as the Italian brand was finally having to come to terms with how it would move forward as a company without Massimo Tamburini inking the designs.
