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.

The Yamaha MT-09 did not need to be reinvented for the coming season - it already was extremely well done almost four years ago. Instead, the Japanese focus on fine-tuning and adding practical, contemporary gimmicks such as traction control and automatic shifting. Due to the Euro4 standard, however, the engine management has been changed once again and offers an emphatically powerful but well controllable power delivery in standard mode; the power explosion of the first generation is now no longer offered even by the sharper A mode. The biggest change, recognisable at first glance, is the, in my opinion, extremely successful design with the more aggressive front and the newly designed rear. All in all, an even snazzier naked bike that was clearly built for the fun of motorcycling.
