Mv Agusta Brutale 750 Review

Used Buyer Review

Let's be straight — the Brutale 750 is one of the most beautiful motorcycles ever built, and that'll get you into trouble. That inline-four screams to 13,000rpm and sounds absolutely savage, but MV Agusta's reliability record from this era is genuinely worrying. Budget for surprises, because the electronics are temperamental, the throttle bodies need regular balancing, and finding a specialist mechanic outside major cities is harder than it sounds. The riding experience itself is special in ways that are hard to explain. It's narrow, aggressive, and flickable through corners with that chassis delivering real feedback. But it's also cramped, vibratory at city speeds, and the fueling on early models can be snatchy enough to catch you out in traffic. Maintenance intervals are short and parts are expensive — simple services aren't cheap. Buy one knowing exactly what you're getting into: a temperamental Italian jewel that demands attention, money, and patience. Get a full service history, check the wiring harness carefully, and have a specialist inspect it before signing anything.
