Based on the well-received Brutale 1000 Series Ono unveiled at EICMA last year, the Brutale 1000 RR debuts this year as yet another premium naked superbike for the masses.

The Brutale 1000 RR will feature plenty of the esthetics of the Series Ono including a healthy helping of carbon fiber surrounding an inline-four-cylinder engine capable of 205 horsepower and 86 ft-lbs of torque. This is the same engine used in the MV’s F4 Superbike.
The Brutale 1000 RR is only five pounds heavier than the Series Ono displaying a dry weight of 410 pounds. This slight increase in weight is due to the Brutale 1000 RR utilizing forged aluminum wheels and steel bolts over costly carbon fiber wheels and titanium bolts found on the Series Ono.
Other features include a five-inch TFT display, a full electronics package, IMU, a signature halo daytime running light, lean-angle lighting, up/down quickshifter, electronic Ohlins Suspension front and rear, and carbon fiber winglets that emanate off the radiator shroud.

Similar to the Series Ono, Brembo Stylema calipers are found up front and are mated to dual 320mm discs. In the rear, a two-piston caliper chomps down on a 220mm disc.
Though more affordable than the Series Ono, the Brutale 1000 RR will set europeans back 30,000 euro. There is no announcement for US based pricing so we will have to wait and see if this rolling piece of track-ready artwork will be made available to American enthusiasts. CN
