MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR 2020

The MV Agusta Brutale 800RR is certainly not a run-of-the-mill motorbike. It's great that something like this is still being built! If you are not put off by the high price, you will get a precise naked bike that in no way has to shy away from comparison with the competition from a dynamic point of view. The beguiling sound that this three-cylinder develops is the icing on the cake of this unique overall package. In expert hands on the country road, the MV Agusta is definitely hard to beat. Of course, the paradise bird also has one or two weaknesses, but these are easily forgiven in view of its uniqueness.
