When Suzuki effectively kick-started the current trend for so-called 'naked' bikes with the Bandit series - introduced in 1989 - it would only be a matter of time before rival manufacturers climbed aboard the bandwagon. In MV's case it took over a decade before they had a contender in the form of the Brutale, which was first seen at the Munich Intermot Show in 2000. Designed by Massimo Tamburini (the 'ta' of Bimota), the Brutale was based on his MV Agusta 750 F4, and like its superbike progenitor commenced production with a run of 300 high-spec 'Serie Oro' models, the regular Brutale 750 S following later in 2003. Looking very much like an F4 minus it bodywork and under-seat exhausts, the Brutale 750 S weighed 185kg (407lb), had a maximum power output of 127bhp at a heady 12, 500 revs, and was good for a (limited) top speed of 250km/ h (114mph).
This Brutale was acquired by the late owner in 2011. Having inherited the MV, the vendors know little about the machine other than it has covered 3, 937 miles, last ran in 2016, and is currently a non-runner. Sold strictly as viewed, the Brutale comes with its warranty booklet, use and maintenance manual, workshop manual (on CD), some old MoTs, Datatool installation certificate, and old/ current V5C Registration Certificates.
Two keys present.
All lots are sold 'as is/ where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding. Visit the Bonhams Motorcycles website for all pertinent auction information.
