2008 MV Agusta BRUTALE 910S
For those real lovers of élite motorcycles, the arrival of the Brutale meant the fulfillment of a dream— the dream of having a machine capable of performing and handling like a Hypersport but as laid back and fun to ride as a Naked. The recent success story of the Brutale shows how just such a dream was fulfilled. In just two years these bikes are now to be found in the garages that matter. The Brutale has won over 5,000 new customers and the critics have repeatedly acclaimed her as “Motorcycle of the Year”. The fact that they are widely used by people involved in the worlds of sport, show business and fashion, as well as being an icon of desire, has contributed greatly towards making this MV Agusta a true phenomenon and a symbol of all that is good about Made in Italy. The 750cc Brutale had no equal for style and sophistication and offered performance that none of its rivals could match. Recently they have resorted to increasing their engine capacities in the vain hope of making up lost ground. Now with a new 910cc engine, the MV Agusta once more leaves the opposition in her slipstream and goes back to her rightful position – leading the field. The engine unleashes 70.8 ft. lbs. of torque at 7,900 rpm and then goes on up to the 11,000 rpm limit to deliver its full power load of 136 horsepower.
2008 MV Agusta BRUTALE 910R
Captivating style, great temperament, engine technology par excellence, and a fanatical eye to detail. All these qualities have long been recognized in the both the 750 and 910 Brutale. Now imagine these properties dramatically enhanced by improved performance,stronger braking and the dynamic handling characteristics of a full race machine. This is the 910R — a motorcycle for everyday use that is capable of rewarding its rider with the behavior and riding sensation that is more in line with full race machines. The MV Agusta Brutale 910R keeps the same elegant lines of the S version, but includes several modifications that make it even more dynamic and aggressive.
2009 MV Agusta BRUTALE 1078 RR
The Brutale looks so wicked that it almost cries out for even more performance. Going that bit faster is what every rider craves. Power is addictive. It had to be even more “brutal”. MV Agusta’s response was this: the 1078RR. Now with a new engine and other “technical” components dedicated to performance, the top of the range Brutale leads the way in the sport naked sector while proudly flying the ‘Made in Italy’ flag. The 100% MV Agusta engine is only for the select few who can manage the 150 HP and more that the new four-cylinder unit puts out. The decidedly muscular appearance of the new Brutale says it all and gives the rider an adrenalin rush before he even turns the key that kicks the mighty engine into life. Just looking at the Brutale starts you dreaming, listening to one sets your pulse racing, and riding one makes you fall in love. The 1078RR is not just a motorbike; it is an incarnation of a true rider’s personality. Others want to be such a person. They want the same type of courage that will let them take a machine to its limits, that will let them choose a real machine and not just something “normal”.
There is nothing is normal about the 1078RR: Life is faster, more colorful, more vivid. This is what a Brutale is about. The new engine size now asks even more from the suspension and brakes. They need to be stronger and more efficient to redress the balance and give the bike that sure-footedness and superb rideability that typifies MV Agustas. There can be no doubt that the 1078RR will be the utmost naked.
2008 MV Agusta F4-R 312
One thing that hasn't changed throughout MV Agusta's long life is the mentality. Our company is one great racing team. We are always at the ready to get involved and work hard. This is what we believe makes a motorbike a winner and is, quite simply, our mission. In 2006 we lost the Superstock Championship by a whisker and finished third thus doing Italy proud.
This "near miss" however only spurred us on and, knowing that more speed is always needed on the track, we worked closely with our teams to do just that. The principle behind the creation of the F4 R 312 was to create a machine that would immediately meet our riders' requirements and keep them one step ahead of the opposition. It is the end result that counts - the ability to get into a corner before the others and be the first to leave it.
To create a machine that is perfectly designed and engineered because each time we take to the track, our sole aim is to take pole position and win.
MV Agusta customers now have at their disposal the very best we can offer. A racing machine that is homologated for road use and that meets Euro 3 anti- pollution standards. The new items of equipment on the MV are none other than the fine-tuning of a masterpiece. There has not been a revolution, just an evolution in development that is part and parcel of the processes that take place when any racing bike returns to the pits after track tests. The new F4 R 312 is now ready to line up on the starting line - looking to take the number 1 plate in the Superstock Championship.
2009 MV Agusta F4 RR 312 1078
With the ambition of one accustomed to winning and the self-confidence of a company with all the know-how in the world, MV Agusta has “crossed” their two latest creations, the F4 CC and the F4 R 312. They have made the ultimate cocktail of power and controlled aggression to once more unleash the beast also known as “the most beautiful motorcycle in the world”.
They have added another “R” to the F4 and the superb R 312 that, flat out in sixth, has reached 312 kph (193.88 mph). The F4 R 312 performance can only to be eclipsed by the RR. There is only one objective for 2008 - improvement. An objective like this is by now customary for a company that already has 75 championship titles behind it (37 constructors and 38 riders) and success embedded in its soul past and present. This year’s challenge is that of putting a machine on the road that goes faster than a 747 at lift-off.
Like other challenges in the past of beating whatever the opposition has had to offer, this new challenge has again called for courage, desire, passion, sacrifice, and investment from the “Team MV”. The goal was simple – to create the best sports bike in the world and any lesser result would have been unthinkable. The 1078 cubic capacity of the exclusive and much appreciated F4 CC has been repeated in the new F4 RR 312. The extra capacity has given both more torque and a silkier touch to the sheer power of the high revving engine. This is due to a series of refinements to the engine in those areas where such a thing was possible and the aim was simply to go beyond the limits imposed by a “standard” engine.
The RR 312 is not a machine to be bothered with limits or weak points and for this reason, only the best components that money could buy have been used.
The bike features the already well-known and developed frame that offers the same, much appreciated handling characteristics, solidity, and feel that are the trademark of the F4. Every single component of the machine has been analyzed and refined (where possible) to deal with the new power output that has now risen to 190 HP. It is in fact the new engine size that will bar it from racing in the current Superbike class. F4 R 312s will now leave MV dealerships for competition use only while the new RR will give true MV road-going enthusiasts the chance to put the latest machine through its not inconsiderable paces; open the throttle wide, lean hard into bends and see what she’ll do. We are convinced that every bike enthusiast, at least once in his life, wants to do exactly that.

2006 MV Agusta F4CC Special Production Model
The figures for the new MV speak for themselves: 315 kph (195 mph) top speed (auto-limited by tire specification). Unique in its genre, sculptured by his friend Massimo Tamburini, made with luxurious design and high components hidden in the MV closet, right in that corner where the embryo start to develop: the MV AGUSTA racing department. This model however will never see a race track in earnest due to the size of its engine. What is important is the uniqueness of the F4CC project and the name that it carries. It doesn't matter if the ignition keys are never turned in the lock, if the bike rests on a stand in someone's home or if it only does the occasional mile or two to "give it a run". What does matter for a true enthusiast is to possess just one of the 100 models made and treat it as if it were a priceless painting worth millions. This was part of Claudio Castiglioni's dream. This is why the F4CC will be presented in "an evening dress" A specially boxed certificate of origin will make the delivery of each machine something very special - more a ceremony. Each machine will have a platinum plate at the top of the steering column bearing the model number from 1 - 100. The F4CC titanium exhausts and engine management unit together have the task of taming the power of the 1078 cc engine yet making it "sing" even sweeter when unleashing all of its 200 CV. The F4CC doesn't just want to entice with its looks - it wants to out-perform everything else. It wants to leave everyone stunned - for once and for all.
"I decided to put my name to this bike as I originally dreamed of it for myself". This is how Claudio Castiglioni, the Managing Director referred to the new F4 that now carries his initials "CC". The boss of MV did what any of us might well have done and gave in to his inner instincts, gave in to the temptation to create a motorbike, not just to meet strategic market needs, but to create something really special, something truly magnificent - just for the sake of it. To create the F4CC project, he obviously utilized everything at his disposal; exclusive materials and the latest technology to attain the utmost in performance.
