...it's a mean looking bike anyway. There's something sexy about MV Brutales...in an ugly sort of way :oops:

This pic just came in from the Paul Feeney Group, the Australian MV Importer. This is their Press Release:

PRESS RELEASE
MV AGUSTA F4 BRUTALE – NEW ATTENTION SEEKING LIVERY
The Paul Feeney Group uncrated the first of a new look F4 Brutale S this week. The recently released livery highlights the exposed framing in a brilliant MV Agusta red colouring. The blazing red frame is further accentuated by the blackened gloss fuel tank (previously red) which draws attention to the raw nature of this truly unique naked motorcycle.

“This bold new colour scheme is very striking and is already proving to be a talking point.” Explains Paul Feeney, Australian distributor of MV Agusta motorcycles.

As popular as the colour may be, only fourteen of these distinctive red/black 750cc machines have been brought in to Australia, making them a limited edition release.
“We have only received fourteen red/black Brutales, so first in will definitely be best dressed.” Says Feeney.

All fourteen have arrived at Australian distributor, the Paul Feeney Group, and are now available from MV Agusta dealers at the recently announced reduced price of $22,900(+orc). [Mick :shock:]

Features include: distinctive MV Agusta styling, radial valve inline 4-cylinder, 6-speed close ratio cassette gearbox, Marzocchi 50mm forks, and 6-piston calipers.

This one is under 1/4 size, if anyone wants the full-size one, PM me and I'll mail it to you (1Mb in size).

Thks

They are both nice looking bikes, and yes very similar (I believe they were designed by the same guy).

They both have cancer but the Duke has the bigger tumor....yuk (hopefully someone will get it ;)).

Bit obscure for me .But looking at the Brutale gives me a bit of a swelling . Have had a day out on the faired MV , very kind mate , and it was very sweet .
Nearly as good as the 9 . Nearly .

...just got another one.

If Kawasaki made a Learner machine that looked like this then they may get more takers for the bigger marques...
