So happy to see both MV and Aprilia turning out such high quality bits of kit, its about time the old italian guard got some serious competition! They both just need to work on their dealer network and the sky's the limit!
These little videos are great. I subscribe to the mag and even though all of this was in the current issue, it compliments it perfectly. Keep them coming.
My woman friend has been riding for 2 years now and is ready to "step-up" to a more powerful bike. We looked at many at the most recent EICMA. And the MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 800 fits the bill. Smaller in size and lightweight but good HP and maneuverability. Thanks for your input.
1 thing to consider; In 2005, hourly mechanic rates were; Triumph $80/hr, Ducati $100/hr, MV Agusta $120/hr. So now 14yrs later, a valve adjustment on the MV would be about $800. Maintenance costs are a serious consideration when planning on buying a MV. Dealer networks in the USA are scarce outside of major metro cities, which is their biggest obstacle. Hard to own something that’s difficult to service, parts you can mail order.
Great video. bad for my lust of this bike. interested to read about Beej and the Beauty and how they had to choke it down. engineers are definitely earning their pay these days.
It'll out-handle an MT-10 no bother, and on the road it won't leave it behind much though the MT does make 40bhp more as stock with all that extra capacity.
The best bit was where you showed the TC working and stopping you from crashing. Nice one

Those two are my fav builders, as well.
Real integrity, real racing, no perfume/'lifestyle' BS.

I don't know who is shooting these video's but there beautifully done and a massive step up on what most provide, Well done.
+Ben Read Thanks Ben! Most of the credit goes to Mr Jonny! Okay all of it!
+Fast Bikes Magazine Uh, I didn't shoot the clips though. Mine are a different kind of wobbly.
I came to the comments to post the exact same thing. Great detail of information also.
Fast Bikes Magazine love that bike and the Rivale too!! 🤘😄

Nice 'review' in this video.
Enough footage to show us the bike and hear the engine.
Keep it up with this style.
Good job, 5 star content of the best reviews I've seen and also great riding

bought one today in black. what a motorcycle!
Luca Salussolia lucky man U make me wanna cry lol
Preferred over a Street Triple!!! Those are strong words there mate. I'm going to have to give it a look over.
Tis true! The ST is still a bit more user friendly, but this thing is great. That being said, we expect an 800 version ST to come out soon!

Where is any review or video of the RR version?
I know I deserve one of these fine specimens, is it too much to ask? GIMME GIMME GIMME!
brilliant
How does it compare to the MT10 BJ?
