2022 MV Brutale 800RR - I may have to...

Mr Duc · Dec 5, 2021

The time may come for me to sell my hyper to this absolute BEAUTY...

Finally the 2022 improvements make me want one:
- TFT Screen
- Apparently the best QS out there
- Rekluse clutch for easy city riding
- And 30 more HP! (140hp)
- All fueling issues resolved...
- Even cruise control for those boring stretches!

Maybe when I can find a used one in a couple of years for 12k I'll have to do the swap...

Any thoughts? Has anyone ridden one of the older ones?

Stylish without doubt, but an owner's review I found says there are still fueling problems. I guess it depends on whether you enjoy high-revving bikes. Two cylinders do it for me!

It's dead sexy. I'd probably do the 1000RR but what really pisses me off is how they get 30 more hp out of a 20cc smaller motor. I guess that's 10+ hp per $1K. It's a weekend only bike but MV have always nailed styling. I ran with one a couple years ago here in Italy and couldn't believe how loud it was over my full Akra. It walked on me above 80 mph. And the triple's have always fascinated me. They basically looked at the Street Fighter and MV'd it.

Ahhhhh bummer. I had to do the RB easy, and so if that's all it takes to fix then whatever...

I do LOVE these twin Ducatis. I just don't love the new streetfighter V2, and the M1200S/R is just not responsive enough for my taste slash too cramped. Leaving me no choice in the Ducati stable :/

I've heard the 1000 has LESS power down low than the 800, which makes it a no go for me from a street perspective (sounds like the V4 / V2 streetfighter issue as well)

As I do all the maintenance myself, it could be nice not having to do two separate banks of cylinders as well working on an inline triple...

Tell you what. Before I purchase another bike, I'm certainly checking how hard it is to change the air filter or remove the fuel tank.

Yeah, I get the sense on most modern bikes it is not super easy. Speaking of which, I am staring down the barrel of needing to take the tank off again as the MAP sensor issue sounds like it could be debri in the lines that feed those sensors from the intake of each cylinder, or the lines themselves could be soft and collapsing causing the intermittent out of band readings. I can't tell for sure till I look at the bike, but I think the tank is obstructing access to this stuff based on where they mount against the side of the airbox. Good thing we got a rainy weekend coming up, I'll have nothing but time.

Re access, I think the time has long-gone when you could see clean through a bike, cos there's so much to package. I seem to recall that Terblanche once said that Ducatis would always have free space around the motor, but that doesn't apply to such as the latest Monster. I suppose they still qualify as naked bikes, but tough luck if you like to see a recognisable engine!

Hahaha amen! Honestly the ease of maintenance is probably seriously going to factor into my next decision (without it being the only factor of course, i do LIKE wrenching)

I think they blew it BIG on the new streetfighter V2 literally because of this... So much plastic AROUND the engine!

These are not just different components obstructing the engine as you mention though, which i would totally understand. These are literally "naked" fairings.

It's not a "stripped panigale" like the V4, it's a re-styled full fairing bike imo!! The hyper is much more naked in that sense.
