Engineered by MV Agusta for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2010 MV Agusta Brutale 1078RR pairs a 1078 cc (65.8 cu in) oil & air-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 154 HP (112.4 kW) at 10,700 rpm while maximum torque reaches 117 Nm (86.3 lb-ft) at 8,100 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 142.9 HP per liter and a 2,600 rpm working window between peak torque (8,100 rpm) and peak power (10,700 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Brutale 1078RR measures 185 kg (408 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.83 HP/kg (1.2 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,411 mm (55.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 267 km/h (166 mph).
