What Buyers Should Know
Triple Engine Character
The Brutale 800 Lusso is powered by MV Agusta's celebrated 798cc inline triple, known for its distinctive exhaust note and strong mid-range torque. However, early models had reported issues with the electronics and throttle-by-wire system, so verify software updates are current.
Depreciation Hits Hard
MV Agustas depreciate significantly faster than Japanese competitors, meaning buyers can find strong used value, but reselling can be challenging. Budget extra for higher-than-average maintenance and dealer service costs that impact long-term ownership expenses.
Watch Cooling & Clutch
The wet clutch and cooling system are known weak points — inspect for coolant leaks around hoses and check clutch engagement for slipping, especially on higher-mileage examples. Regular coolant flushes and clutch inspections are critical to avoiding costly repairs.
