Thought Italian's were supposed to have design flare! WTF is this lash up. Compared to the new Duc this is horrible. Sorry couldn't work out how to embed it.

Re: Italian design
I've never really thought MV designed attractive bikes but that is particularly gopping IMO.

Re: Italian design
Rear wheel is interesting.
From both structural and aerodynamics POV solid wheels actually make a lot of sense, so its interesting we don't see more of em.

Re: Italian design
I agree that's horrid, whereas I think the regular 1000RR Brutale is one of (if not THE) best looking new bikes out there- saw it in the metal at the bike show last year and it just made me want one
MV do of course have a bit of history for doing this though IMO, as well as producing some of the most gorgeous looking bikes there are, they also create some absoloutely hideous monstrosities- Lewis Hamilton Dragster anyone?

Re: Italian design
Is that an CF engine casing, rather than a case protector?
If so colour me impressed!

Re: Italian design
Solid wheel 'cough' crosswinds. Seat unit looks awful and the belly pan looks like it's on back to front.
I'd rather have the kwacker powered Bimota Tesi.
Looks like an engine case protector but that is rather well executed.
