Crazy Fast and Ridiculously Fun in the corners.. LOVE this bike… I have owned the 910s (silver/red) for a little over 7 months now, and everything in this review is spot on! Now I am no racer and i dont write reviews for anyone, but this work of art will invoke a side of a rider that you have never seen or felt. It inspires confidence and begs you to go faster and faster yet again.. then before you know it, its time to shift and do it all over again.. and again.. the power seems to be limitless and never stops pulling. The power just always seems to be there. I traded my Duc in for this and I too was looking for the S4R and the Triple. the Tuono was too tall so it lost right out of the gate.. (I am 5′3 and weigh in at 145). The weight of the Brutale is almost perfect and the look is amazing and mezmerizing to all… definite SHOW STOPPER! The Duc was nice and I am a twin fan, with all that low end torque who couldn’t and that dry clutch rattle… I love that sound… But I have to say that this was the best TOY i have ever bought to date… I never want to get rid of her. In fact my plan is to add more to the collection, but she will not leave my garage as long as I can ride…
As far as passengers go its an ok ride, the bike seems to handle better with the added weight and is totally adjustable to compensate for the extra rider both front and rear suspension. It really isnt too complicated if you have it set right to begin with. I will say this though the boys pay hell when your riding 2 up, the back seat is small and slick so she keeps sliding forward and the tank feels REAlly GREAT with some agressive breaking.. Thanks for reading and love the review.. Dead on! Worth the, almost $15K price tag.

Very interested in this bike. Currently ride a 07 HD Nightrod Special. I am 6′2′’ tall. What do the tall riders think of the 910R? Test rode a BMW k1200r, loved it, but was tough on my knees after an hour or so.

RM, congrats on the new bike. The 910 is an absolutely wicked, wicked machine. If there’s one thing that those MV boys know how to do, it’s stir the soul…

Earlier this week had every intention of buying a 2008 Triumph Speed Triple or Street Triple 675, have owned previous Triumph bikes so thought I had just to decide which one. Dealer also sells Ducati and MV Agusta brands - rode a couple of Ducs and got excited - but still unsure. Dealer had a beautiful 2008 Orange / Black 910S on the floor - after looking at all my options I couldn’t stop looking at the MV. Told dealer need to go home, get on the computer and do some research. I found this site and everyone was just raving about the 910S’s & R’s. So Today went back to dealer, drove the 910S and now I own it - all I can say it WOW - best bike I have ever purchased!!!!!!

i’ve been considering a ducati hypermotard 1100s, with pipe and cams for a fun, everyday and track bike. then the mv brutale r caught my eye. the “out the door” price is about the same as the hypermotard with the upgrades. the brutale is just so beautiful! i feel as though my track days will be affected by this bike because i would be scared to crash it. the ducati is the opposite. i feel like i could thrash it all day long at the track and still use it as an everyday ride. what about the mv’s on/off throttle response that i’ve heard of? i love having to make these kinds of decisions. right now the ducati may get left at the altar. help.

Well I have to say I love the S4RS, the 910R, Tuono R and the Speed Triple oh and the K1200R. All of these bikes withing the last 5 years has won the best or come in close 2nd as the best naked bike out there. So no mater which bike you’re sporting just be proud you’re Naked and rolling and figure out how to get the next one. I have the 06 Triple - white. basically because of the price, but I really want the other four as well and I will one day. Man just can’t have just one bike. I can just see it. I would use the Triple as my commuter, the 910R and the S4RS as my day and night street bikes, the Tuono-R for the track and the BMW K1200R Sport as the tourer with abs,nav,aux for the heated grips/seat and the vario side cases. Damn man someone wake me up from this here dream. Torture

I just picked up a 2007 Brutale 910R. For years I have ridden a 1992 CBRF2 600 and felt I was due for something more up to date. I have been reading about the MV Agusta for sometime now. I always see figures like 144hp and 70ftlbs of torque. Well I had mine Dyno’d last weekend, and it came out with 117hp at the rear wheel but only 35 ft lbs of torque at 11,000 rpm. I told the guys who worked on it they must be wrong, but they insist their figures are correct. Sure the temperature was 80 degrees when they ran the bike on the Dyno, but what I can not figure out is why the low numbers…….

Anyway, the MV pulls strong, and is a killer on the back roads near where I live. I am now looking to dump the CBR and just ride the MV.
It gets attention and respect that my Honda will never get. It’s fast, nimble and sexier than Sophia Loren.

Read the reviews. I now have an MV910S much to my better halves dismay, she finds it ugly, but boy what a bike. When I traded in my K6 GSXR on the MV I had my last minute doubts but once on the new machine, NO regrets. Have had a few Ducati’s before including the ” Special ” R models and in my experience all the Ducati’s were less than average, expensive to run, never lived up to reputation or image and nothing but trouble. Was a slow learner but will never go near a Ducati again. People this is from my exp. only, have a friend who love’s his Ducati ! The diff. in my opinion between the two rivals, Ducati’s have a romantic charm attached to them but the MV actually works, and works and works and looks awesome at the same time. If only women we designed like this ! No need for to many MV agents as they are more reliable than Ducati’s to start off with.

I was shopping for the Monster S4Rs, but the MZ is tempting. Were would you get this thing repaired? At least MOST major cities in the USA have a Ducati Dealership.

GREAT review.

I just test rode one. Unlike and better than just about anything out there. It’s going to be a very tough decision between the Brutale and the Aprilia Tuono.

Advice? (please don’t tell me to get a Ducatti, I’m desmo-intollerant)

I have a 2005 Ducati S2R, and I’m ready for somthing bigger. It was to upgrade to the 2007 S4R that was the plan. But after this article and all the reply’s, I’m defnently gonna try the Brutale first. Great site by the way (”,)
