2018 MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR Review

- Billing yourself as a boutique manufacturer of motorcycle art invites intense scrutiny and whether fair or unfair, a cosmetic blemish or performance shortcoming when found is profoundly magnified. It’s the cross MV Agusta must bear, along with its tumultuous history of financial liquidity as well as its family history of adopted ownerships. Regardless the burden, MV remains relevant by ceaselessly pushing the boundaries of motorcycle design by offering enthusiasts something more than a two-wheel commodity.
A 2018 example of MV’s commitment to bettering its stable of show horses is the revised Brutale 800 RR. While not every reason the old model Brutale 800 lost to the new-for-2017 Triumph 765 Street Triple RS in our 800cc Euro Triples Streetfighter Faceoff has been addressed by MV engineers at the factory in Varese, the litany of updates do mandate another shootout be commissioned (hint, hint MO staffers).

I own a 2017 and a 2020 dragster800 and 800rr. Hands down, HANDS DOWN, the most exciting, best handling, best looking, unique sounding, most comfortable bike I’ve ever ridden. They really know how to build a motorcycle. The auto rev match downshifts sound amazing. I seriously don’t have a single negative thought about MV Agusta
I'm planning on picking one of these up... QUESTION - which do you prefer the regular or dragster version?
@@ThisGuyRates Brutale for longer trips and comfort, Dragster for the most fun IMO. Also, the passenger-seat on the Dragster sucks, but who want's a passenger on a Dragster ;-)
I bet 90% of people on here having a go about reliability and throttle sensitivity etc have never even ridden an MV Agusta.Never had a problem with mine and believe me when you hit that sweet spot at around 8000 rpm powerband it is amazing,with a growl from hell.Its designed to throw around tight bends hence its size and lightness.Its not for pottering around town or going 100s of miles in a straight line.Not many around either and for me motorcycling is about how a bike makes you feel not how much mpg you get or the length of intervals between servicing.
Thank you! Reason why I want a 2019 800 RR, coming from a 2003 Aprilia RSV Mille 👌🏾, switch gears look damn near identical from each bike so I’d feel right at home and I never ridden a MV Before or owned one but I love the uniqueness about them, how they stick out from other brands etc. I could just buy another Aprilia but I rather get a different type of experience/sound😈
I thought Tom left. Good to see him back on the channel.
The bike wouldn’t be my choice but it’s nice and definitely stands out.
What a beautiful motorcycle and that is what MV does builds amazing bikes.
Good to see you back, Tom.
This bike looks very flickable with such a short wheel base like my FZ10. Love the black and red color scheme.
Good to see you back Tom
Indeed, the aesthetics and the many details on this bike are simply, outstanding!
It’s good to hear that the electronics have been upgraded. I hope that fixes a lot of the reliability issues, especially long term. I really want an MV but reliability is an issue for me. Also heard their customer service isn’t the greatest but I know that depends on the dealership you buy the bike from.
I love my Brutale RR (2016) It replaced my 09 Street Triple R, both bikes would be hard for me to criticize. The MV cost more, and the dealer network and support is less than that of Triumph. ( although Triumph is loosing dealerships at an alarming rate). There are a lot of choices in the class, and for the average rider a lot of good choices, and the Brutale , for me, was a good choice.
Ride it before you slag it off folks. The up/down quick shift is addictive and will put a massive grin on your face.
Good to see Tom again!
Oh the dash is just fine! Great video!
whats everyones take or thoughts on the 16/17 model 1090RR's by MV?
simply the most beautiful bikes on the planet by a fricken country mile. works of art, these.
Could someone please tell me what helmet that is?
Did they change the tail lamp?
what kind of front turn signals on that???
How's the after market exhaust options?
What's the difference between the brutale and the dragster?
seat to handlebar ratio and seat to footpegs ratio? that should be 1:1 for the former and 1:2 for the later, or am i missing something here?
Waiting for the F4RR....
Good review
You will have to wait till 2021... and it will probably be a hybrid
Correction "It will probably be a 300horsepower hybrid"
Beauty!
No changes enginewise except throttle sensitivity?
Stunning motorcycle though!
The bike looks great.
I'm especially interested to see this compared directly to the triumph speed triple.
The motorcycle it's a pleasure for eyes. Regarding the guide, i tried it because a friend of mine have a mv agusta brutale 800rr, and it's even better than the aprilia tuono v4 1100 factory i have.
'18 800rr passionate owner 6 times rear brake overhaul currently again with a broken rear brake, rust on several parts, hardly any dedicated dealers around and several sporadic engine failure lights on the cheap factory display, still it's every time a great pleasure to drive. Even without rear brake. You gotta love it to maintain it. Buy a Yamaha if you're not looking for temperament and want to ride reliably. gr. RB
This is why i like this bike..
What a beautiful motorcycle
I see a few comments regarding price vs reliability and what you get... mv agusta (and ducati) is to motorcycles what Lamborghini/Ferrari is too cars. With that said, how many of those exotic cars cost a lot and have frequent issues- some even burn to the ground with zero modification. Point is, this shouldn't surprise anyone. You are not just buying a bike, you're paying for the name and the "status"
Beautiful bike!
I remember when I did a test ride in 2014 that the engine was stunning. I've read somewhere that because of Euro 4 new model is down on power, but that they tweaked the torque. Pity you didn't mention it and gave us your impression compared to the previous model.
The Euro 4 standard Brutale 800 is down on power compared to the previous gen, but with cartloads more useable torque.
This is the Euro 4 800RR, same power output as the Euro 3 compliant bike (140hp), more torque, slightly more weight (I think about 4kgs from memory)
thanks
New Brutale 1000 in November at Eicma 2018 boys !!
I hope it will have a V4 engine otherwise I will never think of buying it !
ROTFLMAO, yup, the new engine will be a V4 when I'm POTUS. FAT CHANCE. LMAO.
OK, let's take it from the top (Disclaimer: Just some guy's opinion).
MV Agusta has never made a V4, is not their bread and butter, no in their heritage. Do you have the slightest idea how much money and time it takes to R&D a WHOLE NEW powerplant, specially one you have never built ? LOTS. Just ask Ducati, they started about 5 years just to get the ball rolling and that's having and drawing lot's of experience from their MotoGP effort.
It will be another in-line 4 slightly bigger than 1,0L.
Giovanni is full of shit and wind, he's done nothing to get MV out of the constant BLACK HOLE is always getting sucked in. Italians can make beautiful motorcycles but can't steer the company and factories FOR SHIT. Case in point, DUCATI, doing better than ever under German(AUDI) ownership.
Now a days there's very little "room" left to be "new". New ? How ? Will it have only one wheel ? No frame at all ? 8 cylinders ? I like V4's too but "the best engine for a luxury brand" ? Nah . . . but, OK, you're entitled to your opinion, w/e floats your boat.
Mate, for all you know I could be one of those retarded kids wasting their lives away, that I leave it to you to debate. I tend to use w/e it's easier to express myself, I'm one lazy MOFO not trying to win any Literature Prizes or anything.
Mate, I'm too tyred and old to be offended just because someone had a different opinion about the same matter and out of all places, here, YT and I sure as Hell won't be turning into a better person, too fucked up and jaded, TOO LATE. LOL. It's perfectly fine, carry on. You have a nice day too. (^_^)/
If you're right and all they do is a barely redesigned bike with lots of carbon parts on it to justify an ultra premium price, then MV is a truly dead company. Disapointing.
no name let's wish I'm VERY WRONG about them. They do make good looking motorcycles.👌👍
Jiga, well I read the interview of giovanni and timur they did this week, and apparently they will use the current frame of the F4RC and the current inline 4 with all the progress made within the competition. Timur said at least 200 hp for 175 kg dry. And a very different look. I wished they asked to an engineering company that makes motors as the english company called Ricardo that designed the Mclaren engines or another company as Cosworth or whatever, you know what I mean to make a new V4 engine for MV. Now I will hope the 2019 Tuono V4 will get a completely new look and the S1000RR will have a crossplane crankshaft because I love that engine sound and maybe I'll buy the S1000R when they will release it.
The problem with brutale in my country is that it cost more than zx10r and BMW s1000 Street
The Italians sure know how to make a beautiful bike. Honestly think the Street Triple 765 would be better in most areas. Love the noise of a triple.
MV's designer is english.
That is a visually stunning machine.
Asad S except the sides of the tank. Looks like wings on a damn aeroplane
HeyAddieImTojo with 140hp at 175kg sounds like an "aeroplane" to me.
Stunning....wish my mt10 looked like that..
I'd have your MT10 over this thing in a heartbeat.
The grass isn’t greener, your MT10 is 10x the bike compared to this thing. It’s a pretty bike, but that’s about it.
I love MV Agusta.
I would like more classical looking round headlight, it is difficult for me like these types of headlights found on many recent designs by major manufacturers.
This is a motorcycle that needs to rip out on the open road, not putting around town where the throttle can be touchy. Italian sport-bikes are no compromise in the handling department so expect a little less comfort and stiffer suspension. The 800cc 3-cylinder is now further refined and reliability should not be an issue. And, yeah, expect to pay more for eye-catching Italian styling that sets you apart from the crowd especially when the tank badge says MV.
MV makes eye candy for sure, but buying one and owning it for the long term, let’s see about the test of time? Quality control and customer service are why most buy Honda’s and Yamaha’s
And, price and reliability.
I bought the dragster rr...
@Justin Voluck me also hahaha
Nice video shoot in Bergamo (Italy) and then new Sarnico laka)))) I am from Bergamo, I recognise the street of High City...guys go there and visit amazing city Bergamo near Milan)))
The whole area of Lombardy is beautiful. I went to Lake Como for the Guzzi festival last year, and also to Chiavenna. North Italy is great for motorbiking!
Are you ((()))) maybe?
They have never faded away, people just don't know what a real bike is
More Moto GP Championships than any other brand = MV Agusta. My Brutale lives at 110 mph seems like the sweet spot.
I bought the Dragster RR...currently with 14,000 miles of riding fun and it is a lot quicker than you would think for 800 c.c's handling is above average for a street bike. The only thing I don't like is the starter, it sucks the rst of the bike is top quality..
Is he 6ft3! Because I’m!, can you all of you make videos for taller people like what great super bikes they should drive and other bikes!!!!!
damn that is a good looking bike
I've always drooled looking at these 800cc machines. I'm aroused, 💪😁👋
Someone needs to make a bike that looks this good and performs, Ducat, V4 Streetfighter, sort it out!
Given how poorly the Streetfighter S sold, and I say that as an owner of one, I don't think Ducati is going to bother with a V4 Streetfighter for a long time.
They were too early with the first gen Streetfighter, everyone was superbike mad. Now naked bike are the most popular range for all manufacturers. Sure the monster is good, but if they make a sorted Streetfighter, it will sell very well.
They made the Streetfighter in some form from 2009 - 2015. The 848 version even won motorcycle.com middleweight a time or two. Today there is ferocious competition with Tuono, S1000R, 1290R, Speed Triple, and FZ-10.
I mean, I'll buy the V4 Streetfighter the day it's released but given the price point of the V4 superbike it's going to be a hard value proposition for many people. The streetfighter was not a money maker and Ducati does remember this and they won't want to cannibalize their own monster sales.
Exnihilo415 I agree. I had a 2014 SF848 and traded it in last summer for a 2017 Brutal 800. The Ducati SF was amazing but they sat on the showroom floor. I'm not a fan of the newer Monster's which are already 16-18k. Imagine what the V4 SF would cost....20k plus. Too steep for most people.
Its bigger then the old brutale✊🔥
For the kind of money these bikes demand, there should be a full color display like on the new R1.
I just want the Shyt out of this bike! It’s dangerously attractive.
Vs Monster 821??
adrián ferrer
MV Smokes the 821
splatterchops I'm not talking about power...
If you want the thing to start everyday neither lol
Nice to see Tom back as a guest tester. Beautiful bike, definitely need to get another ride on it when you can test its limits. How about Brutale vs Street Triple vs MT09 with Duke, Troy, and Tom!
Matt Dickson Troy is now officially back on the staff. Look for him with a review of he Scrambler 1100in the near future!
While riding, bike looked really small or should I say u looked really big for this bike 😀
All this time I've thought it was pronounced "rod-e-rick" not "rode-rick"
I sure would like to try on and maybe take home an MV Turismo Lusso if I could find someone to sell me one here in Texas. Just sayin'
Looks like a good bike - the triple exhaust is not quite my taste, still. Point to note that traction control and mode setting is independent on the Yamaha XSR900, and I am guessing on the MT09 too. Wonder if it is linked on other bikes in the class?
I think it was a dig at KTM.
sexiness goes a long way
Would love to own one or any MV. There's always a 'BUT' with this brand though. High prices are OK with this level of quality but as some mentioned it's not matching others in the spec like TFT screens which is a must have for a bike like this. Also buying this new you'll lose so much money when you come to sell it on. Buying used you start to think about reliability and spares availability. Have much love for MV, just can't see me ever owing one.
1299 Panigale S or this?
Dunkirk Donuts both
Ah, I miss Tom!
I'm going to sell my Brutale 800, not yet a year and I'm sick of trouble!
Good luck to u mate, cuz u didnt got ur shift off while testing~~lol
These bike are EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!
They should stick to a tach/dial style speedo rather than 80’s Casio look.... Also, stick some M50’s and proper suspension on there.
At that price, Ohlins front and rear should be standard along with the M50's, as well as cruise control and heated grips. I'll take the Speed Triple all day over this and save a good chunk of change.
@TJ I'm with you man, I hate the bug eyes of speed triple at first but damn, the looks grows on me. having said that, the bike seems perfect now. but hey, there are always people who buy an MV just because they love the brand.
Except MT10 is fugly as hell. New Speed Triple RS for me.
Tj- Ya this bike looks nice but so does the Speed Triple and it is cheaper and faster and probably more reliable too.
2016 mv agusta dragster here. The marzzochi forks work excellent.
Get the RVS #1 on the channel
Sounds awesome, looks epic. Priced out of the ball park.
18K for a 13K bike. Yup, MV is back.
lol you nailed it........
But seriously its a nice looking bike
While desperately pretty, it seems kind of jank for that price. Rather disappointing. :(
Akroma Martell I agree with you but it's a beautiful thing to look at on CZcams :)
Plenty of storage space between the bottom of the seat, and the top of the back tire.. Just wedge it in.. Yikes!
Competing with the Aprilia Tuono / Superduke bikes??? I don't think so, not even with the Speed Triple. Neither you seem nor minimally convinced when making that point, despite maintaining the due deference as result of being invited to present the bike in the very house of the brand in Italy... Nice bike overall, but also overrated (very pricey for its components and characteristics, and more importantly without the quality and performance of the best in the category).
We had the 675 fueling was down right dangerous, not to mention the stalling issues, biggest POS ever put into the motorcycle world!
So, to sum up, it's a good bike as long as you don't ride in traffic ¬_¬
This is a gorgeous motorcycle but that's just not enough to succeed. No doubt its visually pleasing but the new honda Cb1000r is beautiful as well yet comes with more tech and reliability. Just using the Honda as an example but other Japanese giants are also upping the game. Italian machines need to be more than just good looking or they'd be left behind as poser bikes.
5putput why is this a joke
Cb 1000 lmao!!!
geez if this is the fanboy crowd of the MV's thats just sad
no one is MV fanboy dude. you compared a 800 with a 1000, that's why people look at it as a jokes :) this bike supposed to compete with z900, speed triple 765, mt09, gsx-s750 or duke 790. litre naked bike have their own class.
R i v a l r y R i d e ah gotcha. Yep it is a big difference. I'm really interested in buying an Italian motorcycle just get turned away from the reliability and cost of ownership. I'd like to really feel like this is a much better product than rivals like the aforementioned z900 or fz09. It looks much better but feels much further behind in terms of other areas. What would be your reasons for owning or not owning this?
18stacks?.....mv smoken’ sum...
Bad throttle feedback and fueling always had been an issue with MV for me, having said that no body makes prettier machines then MV. But its not about looks all the way. I am paying a heck lot for a very little motorcycle, there are a lot of options available for that price. Furthermore I knew of 2 MV dealerships and they both stopped selling them, so I am not even sure how the spare parts situation will be. Sorry MV but wont give you a second thought, for now.
The bike getting smaller or the rider/ journalist getting bigger? Just jokes.
I'm probably in the minority here but I'm not really a fan of this design trend where all the mass is in this tight ball up front with a tiny shelf sticking out back who's only purpose is to have somewhere to mount the seat cushion. It just looks weird to me and more and more bikes are looking like this.
Looks so small 🤨
Why doesn't MV Agusta do basic research before designing a gem? This bike is so small that anyone over 5'7 is going to look ridiculous on it. There goes half of their sales. #MVAGUSTA
Exactly, I just had a conversation on this topic, Beautiful bike no doubt but its smaller than a MT-07, the mt even weighs more and is 2 inches longer with the same wheelbase. Only one place in North Carolina that has a 800 so I can only go sit on the MT and I can say I'm 6ft and 210 lbs and I feel like I'm going to break it. They need to make the 800 bigger to at least the size of the Ducati 821 so normal humans can not look like a giant on a moped..it looks like you will be eye to eye with the bumper of a truck on the road.
Came here to see about this bike jus becs of movie #Valimai🔥
Back on track ? ! ROTFLMAO. They wish !
Its beautiful but i just don’t think id ever get this over the street triple or the new CB1000R
Looks like a Thai 125
I don't like the plastic nut cruncher!
18k for a bike that isnt perfect, are they going bankrupt yet?
PetaBread27 maybe soon and be purchased by an indian company and build bikes there with a partnership with bajaj.
Beautiful bike, but it's so darn small.
Design over functionality. Hummm.... at over $18k I demand more.
nice motorcycle but very small. you look like candy apple on it.
I thought it was pronounced.. uh-GOOSE-ta.. Hmmm....
Best Poser bike on the market next to Ducati.
18,500 dlls... 5000 dlls for parts and labor, 13,500 to cover the fact that is a recognized brand... if only they were reliable machines...that would seal t deal.... yes design is cool...but there are more brands with cool designs for half t price.... it is like they overprice the bikes to make them look exclusive...more like unaffordable unreliable machines
Cool bike, good looking bike, but for what it is, the price is insane. That dash on an $18,000 bike!? LOL. Must be a joke. I'll take my XSR900 for $9000 and have just as much fun.
Mv is the best bike
dolphin's brain in terms of what?!
Bernard Bernabe everything
The hole under the seat looks like a birth defect.
Guy have no clue on how to properly take a corner (even at low speeds) it hurts to see ! These are the most unsecure and unsafe corners ever taken by a "biker"
