MV Agusta’s top boss, Giovanni Castiglioni has teased the Brutale 1000 on social media.
Likely to be called the Brutale 10000 Hypernaked; the teaser image reveals the tank of a clay model. This tank looks more aggressive and is sharper than the one on the Brutale 800 and like the latter appears to be built on a tubular trellis frame. While details of the bike have not yet been revealed, we can expect it to be powered by a 998cc, inline-four engine similar to the supersport F4. However, unlike the F4’s unit, the Brutale 1000’s engine will be Euro-5 compliant.
The MV Agusta Brutale 1000 is likely to carry forward the styling of the ‘Brutale’ family with a circular full-LED headlamp, svelte rear section and the uniquely designed ‘floating seat’. We also expect it to sport the distinctive triple exhaust and exposed single-sided swingarm. The bike will come equipped with a full-colour TFT display, and an extensive list of electronic aids.
The Italian manufacturer is likely to showcase the Brutale 1000 Hypernaked at the 2018 EICMA next month. It will compete against other streetfighters like the Honda CB1000 R, Kawasaki Z1000, Suzuki GSX-S1000, BMW S1000 R and Aprilia Tuono V4 1100.
