With the re-launching of Italian motorcycle brand MV Agusta in Malaysia, local authorised distributor Moto Varese Asiatic has revealed prices for MV Agusta models currently available for sale. These are the naked sports 2017 MV Agusta Brutale 800 at RM 87,331, the Brutale 1090 at RM 93,691 and the sports-touring Turismo Veloce 800 at RM 94,751, with all prices including GST, but excluding road tax, insurance and registration.

As the entry-level into MV Agusta’s naked sports bike range, the Brutale 800 carries an 798 cc, inline three-cylinder power plant that is fed by EFI, and comes with ride-by-wire and a full suite of riding aids. Power output is claimed to be 110 hp at 11,500 rpm with torque rated at 83 Nm at 7,600 rpm.


The Brutale 800 has proven a favourite with customisers and there are several special editions available from MV Agusta, including the Brutale America and the RVS #1. Aside from the base model Brutale 800, also in the catalogue – but not currrently on sale locally – are the Brutale 800 RR, as well as the Brutale Dragster with bobbed seat and slightly different bodywork in base, RR, RC and RR LH44 flavours.

Bigger sibling to the Brutale 800 is the Brutale 1090, which comes with a 1,078 cc four-cylinder mill, inline and liquid-cooled with 16-valves, that puts out 144 hp at 10,500 rpm and 112 Nm of torque at 8,100 rpm. Despite being a slightly older model, the Brutale 1090 comes with traction and ABS, and has a published top speed of 265 km/h.


On the sports-touring side, MV Agusta offers the Turismo Veloce 800, which can be equipped with OEM hard cases. Somewhat similar to the 2016 Stradale 800 paultan.org reviewed, the Turismo Veloce 800 carries an inline three-cylinder engine that produces 110 hp at 10,150 rpm and 80 Nm of torque at 7,100 rpm.
