BMW AUGUSTA BRUTAL

 Era de esperar. A las puertas de la llegada de toda la artillería de los fabricantes en el Salón de Milán, MV Agusta también se ha sumado a la fiesta que se celebra en su barrio y han desvelado lo que todos más o menos nos podíamos hacer una idea.

La MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR es la adaptación mundana de la Brutale 1000 Serie Oro que conocimos hace unos días, y no desmerece en nada. Estamos ante una moto que pretende medirse de tú a tú contra pesos tan pesados en la categoría hipernaked como las Ducati Streetfighter V4 y Kawasaki Z H2.

The upgrades over the standard model include an even more powerful braking system, lightweight carbon rims, final drive, dry clutch from the WorldSBK bikes, racing footpegs, and a series of carbon components. The bike is delivered with a kit for track use, which brings billet aluminium caps for the removal of rear-view mirrors, a kit for removing the license plate holder, and an open carbon clutch cover. In terms of styling, the Panigale V4 SP2 features the ‘Winter Test’ livery which includes matte black paint on the fairings along with matte carbon finish on the rims and wings, contrasting with the bright red accents and exposed brushed aluminium tank.

The mechanical specifications on the Panigale V4 SP2 include a 1,103cc, Desmosedici Stradale, V4-cylinder liquid-cooled motor that delivers 215.5bhp of power at 13,000rpm. The performance could be further boosted with the new full titanium Ducati Performance racing exhaust. This exhaust reduces the weight of the motorcycle by five kilograms and increases the power by 12.5bhp, bringing the maximum output to 228bhp. The peak torque rises to 131Nm. Other improvements include a track-oriented gearbox, lightened final drive with a 520 chain, and the STM-EVO SBK dry clutch.
