I first heard about this bike during a brainstorming session about putting something “different” on the cover. My partner Rock approached the subject carefully, knowing that (among other factors) I always push to feature bikes that are highly modified. In my opinion (outside of a showroom environment), no one really wants to see a stock bike on the cover of a mag. However, this bike peaked my interest as an exception to that rule. Although I’m sure I’d read something about the brand somewhere on the Internet sometime in the past, I was pretty sure I’d never even seen a picture of an MV. In fact, this is probably the first time most of you have ever seen one. Hopefully, it won’t be your last! Rock said it kind of reminded him of a “naked” bike. So, I hope you can forgive us as we publish this first small bit of Italian nudity…
MV Agusta, perhaps with the most storied history of all Italian motorcycle marques, was re-born in 1998 with the release of the F4. The Brutale followed, first produced in 2004 as a 750 model, and was met with instant acclaim. The engine displacement was increased to 909 cc in 2006. Penned by the legendary motorcycle designer Massimo Tamburini, known for the genius behind such bikes as the Ducati 916 and the MV F4, the Brutale is unique. It looks unlike anything else, it feels unlike anything else and it performs unlike anything else. One ride will convince you.
“I wanted a bike that performed and was exciting to ride,” bike owner Tim Cheatwood explained, “one that had character and was distinctive. An MV excels in all aspects. The ride is demanding but very rewarding. It is what a motorcycle should be. I have been through many different motorcycles but this is by far the best. Actually, I have a trick 100th anniversary Harley Softail in the garage but I always choose the MV. If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand.”
Special thanks goes out to Tim and his lovely wife for taking time out for this photo shoot inside the First Tennessee Pavilion in downtown Chattanooga. Our own “Tom the Bomb” performed the photographic duties. If you’d like to see many more pics of this cool bike (and much more), check out http://www.roadrashmag.com!
