At the heart of the 2011 MV Agusta Brutale naked motorcycle, MV Agusta features a 909 cc (55.5 cu in) oil & air-cooled in-line four, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 128.7 HP (94 kW) at 10,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 95 Nm (70.1 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 141.6 HP per liter and a 2,400 rpm working window between peak torque (8,100 rpm) and peak power (10,500 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Brutale measures 190 kg (419 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.68 HP/kg (1.48 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 1,430 mm (56.3 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).
