    Talking MV Agusta redesigned Brutale 990R and 1090RR

    There are few things in life that give me that "Salma-Hayek-wrapped-in-a-white-python" feeling.

    This is one:



    Whoar.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    On the prowl for a manufacturer still supported aye?

    If you visit Auckland, you even have Triple X Moto to look after the MV.

    Yea that's a beautiful bike alright
    An experience cannot be proven, intellect and reason cannot prove the beauty of an awesome relationship with a motorbike.

    That bike has never pushed my buttons aesthetically.
    Much prefer a Speed Triple.

    All the exposed plumbing, wiring, and other "gubbinses" is a bit much, I guess. OTOH, I like the engineering details on the Italian bikes better than the Triumphs, and some of the alloy work and detail on Triumphs looks a bit cheap compared to similar Japanese or Italian bikes.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    I don't see it that way on the similarly priced italians. Overall Tri finish is now better - on the testers I've had lately anyways.

    You know my theory of these types of bikes? They are enhanced by what and how much you take off them - not add on to. The MV is too 'complete' or maybe correct is a better word.

    I want more ragged edge from a streeter. Dorky twin headlights eg.

    or lessness maybe.
