Signor Claudio’s sense of beauty

Claudio Castiglione is the boss of MV Agusta. MV Agusta is the name of the most beautiful motorcycles. It is an honor for us to be able to drive our own brutal.

Let the editor-in-chief of this magazine see that he is on the following pages
behaves neither neutrally nor in accordance with his task clarified. One may
understand that there are motorcycles that blow every fuse for him, that make him rave, that every rational thought there
deposit where it belongs: in the office,
in the thick shelf at the very back of the desk.
Signor Claudios MV Brutale is such a motorcycle, beckons outside, shining seductively in the warm sun. What kind of
a pretty thing! Built according to his wishes, his sense of “beautiful”. As colorful as spring with its golden magnesium parts, the bright red frame and the tank-seat combo in the old MV colors of blue, white and red. Slim and sinewy
like a racehorse, compact and beefy like a fighting dog? Depending on the perspective, the MV changes its stature, changes
its appearance flatters, seduces, charms, ensnares the viewer with a thousand great details.
There meet artfully welded
Tubes on milled magnesium swing arm bearing plates, a muscular swing arm holds the rear wheel with a strong fist, noble carbon fiber laminate shimmers under tens of layers of paint and a chic emblem proves itself
display the MV World Championship titles, which have grown to the prime number 37, in a regular hexagon of stars.
Much of the Brutale comes from
the athlete F4: engine, chassis, instruments, levers. Crucial
is new: tank, seat, exhaust, headlights and the handlebars. So it turns out
the super athlete a naked bike, a
Machine that invites you to carve on country roads instead of the jagged racetrack. She demands “Nothing like going!”, But
please without knee slider, replica suit and carbon gloves. Always beautiful
stay loose, as loose as it gets
sits on the MV.
Everything fits like a glove, as if armies of ergonomists had brooded their heads over the positions of the handlebars, seats and footrests. In fact, there was probably a lot of experience and a little luck with the design
play with him. So be it. A convenient
Logging driver takes things anyway
more relaxed than its stooped counterpart on an F4. Especially since he’s on the Brutale
apart from the disguise, nothing is missing that characterizes the super sports car.
On the contrary, MV driving was previously a pleasure associated with hardship, that’s how it develops
the brutal tax already in the city to a pleasurable roll. The inline four-cylinder works with a noticeable grumble, pulls surprisingly powerfully even at idle speed, snorts and rattles from the airbox as if it were
he is more of a musician than a combustion engine.
Sixth gear can be used from 35 km / h
be inserted. The compared to the
F4 much shorter translation of Brutale makes it possible.
After passing the place-name sign, it is sufficient to simply open the throttle valves to really elicit sufficient propulsion from the MV. And a good 100 km / h is enough to experience fantastic driving pleasure. How the brutal circles the curves is unprecedented. Exactly and yet as light as a feather, it swings as if it were guided by rails and yet floating. Incomparable the precision when turning, the stability even in fast corners, the maneuverability in alternating bends. No motorcycle in the world can do it like this. Why it is like that?
Well, the Brutale is a stripped F4 after all. The same powerful fork guides the front wheel with a tight set-up. The same strong swing arm carries the rear wheel, the same stable frame the engine. The Japanese do that
different. Unfortunately. Build a simple frame around your supersport engines, let comfort spring struts and wobble forks
work. That saves costs, but costs fun. When will you understand that a super sports car with wide handlebars drives incredibly cool without a fairing?
One can forgive this little critical excursion into the product philosophy of Far Eastern manufacturers. But
the long face of colleague Werner “Mini” Koch, when he realized what Yamaha had done with the 1000 Fazer of his Naked R1 Roadstar, is unforgettable. Long-time readers will remember those of him
remember built machine.
So the MV has its gap, which becomes even bigger if you really give the 750 spurs. It really tears forward, pushing a good 120 hp,
it roars like crazy under the tank. Between 8000 / min and 13200 / min the fun is over. The power is enough for almost everything that has wheels. That takes concentration? and radar-free zones. Sure, the MV doesn‘t have the punch from the basement of a popular 1000 series. To come later in this decade. But it turns higher and more freely. On its own, it does indeed offer enough steam. Applicable steam because the chassis can do everything. Just like the noble Japanese Nissin six-piston brakes in the front wheel. Dosability and effect fit, have no problems with the 200 kilograms of precious metal and precious laminate.
Signor Claudios MV Brutale has long been on his way to Varese again. As a harbinger of series production, so to speak, it found its way into this issue of MOTORRAD. Briefly

ihm machines brought into the world. The first Ducati 851, the splendid Ducati Supermono, the decade athlete 916, the victorious rally elephant, the pretty GP-Cagiva 500 and of course the F4. He’s always had that feeling for beauty.
