At the heart of the 2013 MV Agusta Brutale 1090 naked motorcycle, MV Agusta 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 142 HP (103.6 kW) at 10,300 rpm while maximum torque reaches 112 Nm (82.6 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 131.7 HP per liter and a 2,200 rpm working window between peak torque (8,100 rpm) and peak power (10,300 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Brutale 1090 measures 183 kg (403 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.78 HP/kg (1.29 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 825 mm (32.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,438 mm (56.6 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 23-liter (6.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 265 km/h (165 mph).
