At the heart of the 2012 MV Agusta Brutale RR 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 158 HP (115.3 kW) at 11,900 rpm while maximum torque reaches 100 Nm (73.8 lb-ft) at 10,100 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 146.6 HP per liter and a 1,800 rpm working window between peak torque (10,100 rpm) and peak power (11,900 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Brutale RR 1090 measures 183 kg (403 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.86 HP/kg (1.16 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 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.
