Just checking this out today and really like the looks and size etc

Thinking of a move away from large Adv Bikes for a while and this certainly looks like fun and also a little bit different.

Anyone else tried or owned one? :nenau

I think they are gorgeous and some of the big hitting Brutales are ferocious things ( i briefly considered one)

I was put off in the end by the reviews comparing them ( im talking the MV rival to the SF) and MV are forever going bust i think and starting back up. ( This may have improved) dealer network is also a concern if anything should go wrong which on the face of it is a distinct possibility

Lovely things though and if your heart says have one then do so, life is too short
 
I had this one 17 years ago !

The Brutale was a 750.
Seem to remember very compact but great fun.

Have you tried a new Streetfighter V4 ?

Stunning bikes with the best seat E V E R.

I’d have one if my knees weren’t a bit fucked and it were better two up.

I have a local dealer Rick (Krazy Horse at Bury St Edmunds) who are only about 30 miles from me and are well stocked etc
You get a 3 year warranty which is nice and all the range looks beautifully made.

Weight is only 179kg so lighter than the T7… not that that’s much to boast about.

I think if the numbers add up I’m going to be very tempted. :bounce1
 
Looks pretty small

I’m about 6 2” but my knees felt in a comfortable position thanks to the beautifully sculptured fuel tank.

Will probably take out a demo before the final decision.

Ride it, like it , buy it although i think the RR version would be a better bike than the Rosso

As you know weight is everything :D

Well last autumn I did and although the conditions weren’t brilliant I did enjoy it plus I absolutely love Ricks new stealth variant.

But north of £20 grand for a new one is not what I want to pay (or PCP ;)).

The Rosso being the base model comes in at just over £11 grand plus I think I can get a deal on the one currently in the showroom as it’s a 2020 and although they are expecting 2021 models in next month the only difference is it has a TFT screen which I’m not that fussed about. :thumb2

Ah ok .
There was me thinking the Rosso was £30k plus !!
 
I know a guy who bought one up here, had warranty issues, had an absolute nightmare dealing with the company, never again he said but fuck me they make lush looking bikes.
 
Well I eventually went for the Dragster 800RR (ex demo) and picked it up today.

First impressions are pretty good…:D

The engine is smooth and it feels very quick to spin up. The induction roar sounds fantastic!

The bike obviously feels very light coming from a Multistrada Enduro and handles beautifully.

The riding position is fairly comfortable with a nicely sculptured seat but has a little more weight on the arms and wrists than I’m used to but it’s no big deal.

The bike has an up and down quickshifter which is very smooth. The suspension feels a bit harsh on bumpy roads but I’m sure it will be fine once properly set up for my weight etc

I think it looks rather nice. :)

So in conclusion it’s quick, fun comfortable and light.. plus it looks great. :beerjug:

wow. love it...bet it sounds awesome
 
Are those ball-ended bars at the back a set of swing-down pillion pegs? If they are that’s an awesome little detail.

Yes they are and one of many neat design touches all over the bike. :thumb2

That's lovely, got a picture with you sitting on it to judge scale please?
 
This was taken by the dealer Krazy Horse at Bury St Edmunds on pick up.

The standard Brutale is the same size if that helps?
