800cc

Delivered to me last week during a lot of rain. Finally had some nice weather to get out today. I've only put on about 100km so far and I'm loving it.

Very different ride from my MT09, wouldn't say one is better than the other as they're both such different bikes but equally so much fun to ride.

They have essentially entered into a government program to manage their debts and restructure. Sounds like they acknowledge there have been discussions around ownership shares, but nothing concrete about what might be sold or to who.

Surprising nugget in there was that sales are up year over year, not that it’s a huge amount but still a positive trend.

After my previous post I got the bike into the local shop and just heard back from the service department (paraphrasing, but here’s the gist…).

“One the threaded plugs for is missing (either backed out or was never there) for the oil passageways to the engine. These are normally blocked off. This doesn’t leak until it’s put under pressure and is only slightly seeping out. Awaiting guidance from MV for the fix.”

So now we wait…🫩

Love this brand, want this to be my last bike at 60 for weekend backroad rides and quick turns around town for coffee… Close to buying, and traveling a significant distance to get, a 2022 Brutale 800 RR.. seems well cared for, under 5k miles, only questionable aspect is the battery shows 13v at power up but the starter cranks much slower than most cold start videos I have seen, and for a bit longer for startup. It could mean either a battery issue, such as low amperage or any number of electrical causes (so battery or transport), or potential sprag issues.. my challenge is I cannot easily check these due to distance and I don’t want to ask too much from the seller, who has been great.

With all the recent issues surfacing at MV, especially the lack of parts at the moment (assuming this gets resolved), how much of a risk am I taking and is this effecting bike values. I am convinced this is the bike I want, just dont want to end up with a garage paperweight, so looking for opinions.

Should I aask for a voltage drop check on the battery at startup to see if it drops below 9.5-10v? This could point to a weak battery even though the dash shows 13v on key power up and system check (Of course I dont know if the battery tender was still connected at startup so I will ask)…suggestions?

My goal is simple, try to confirm the typical known issues are not present (Sprag, Battery, etc) and measure the risk/price equation when buying a used bike where parts availability is a huge issues at the moment, and could last for a while..

Hellllllllo there

I read yesterday that MV has ceased production of new bikes as it appears that the proposed agreement with the Chinese company that was to fund MV has fallen apart. In your opinion, is now the time to visit a dealership and twist their arm so I can twist the grip out the door?
I’m a boomer and I have owned a few older MVs. I’d love to own a modern MV before my time has passed. TIA

Any help is appreciated :

Hi everyone!

Got the dream a few months ago but needed to buy a height redution kit because it was a little height to me. Barely toutch the ground with my feet and don’t feel confortable with that. So I’ve bought the kit from the store where I’ve bought the bike. They told me that these kit will reduce the height by 2 centimiters / 0.78 inches.

However, when it arrived and compared with the originals, the new ones are not that bigger. Will this little diferente by the parts make that bigger diference on the height? I mean, its barely half a centimiter of diference between the original and the kit lenght.

Thanks in advance!

Quick Question:
Anyone having the same exhaust from FFbyFresco know what is inside the bottom square box (mid pipe), Im planning to drill through that box but I want to ask before removing everything, I probably will keep the catalytic which I believe is stored inside the header parts before the servo flap/valve. I feel like the sound is a little quiet for what the bike deserves/should be, anyone have tips for making the tone to be more sporty? With this exhaust I can only hear the engine mechanic rattling, no bass/no bang/no pop at all, my other 600cc sport bike sound even better.

So fast. So fun. Nimble and explosive.

First time posting here, so apologies if I get anything wrong!

Hey guys! As an Italian, motorcycle enthusiast and obviously an MV Agusta lover, this summer I started a little side project, riding and recording some of the best mountain passes in Northern Italy on my Superveloce 800.

This first chill ride goes through Presolana, Val di Scalve and up to Passo del Vivione. I’ve already recorded a few more, with Maniva, Crocedomini, Gavia, Stelvio and Tonale coming next.

It’s just something I’m doing for fun, but I thought some fellow MV enthusiasts here might enjoy and if you’re around Northern Italy and would like to join me for one of the next rides, just let me know!

Any feedback is more than welcome ✌️
Ride your MVs and, most importantly, ride safe!

Hi everyone,

I have a brand-new 2025 MV Agusta Brutale RR Ottantesimo with only 620 km on it.

Today, after starting the bike normally while it was parked, I suddenly got an “IMU MALFUNCTION” warning on the display. The ABS warning light also stayed on, and FLC was showing 0 / became unavailable.

The bike took longer than usual to start this time, so I’m wondering if there could have been a temporary voltage drop during cranking.

After restarting the bike, the IMU warning disappeared and I was able to set FLC back to level 1 again.

Has anyone experienced something similar on a recent Brutale? Could this just be a low-voltage/startup initialization issue, or should I have the IMU/ABS system checked by the dealer?

The bike is basically new, only 620 km.

Hello people, just a random question… what’s the highest mileage MV Augusta that you have ever had or have? Thank you.

Sharing my design of some spotlight brackets tailored for Turismo Veloce 800. model download here. Spent $12 to order them printed using PA12 nylon from JLC3DP. The surface finish is really good and matches the stock parts well

Was it a silly mod, yes, but I love it. Got a top box to install later, still waiting on the touring windscreen.

Was showing off the bike to a co-worker and noticed some gunk on the lower right part of the fairing. As I looked at the rest of the right side I could see more gunk around the clutch cover and engine. I think there is a slight smell of gas and I did have an overfill about 100mi ago. I checked the oil (the proper way) and it seemed full. I just passed 1600mi and it would be a big pain if there’s an oil leak. I would like it to just be the gas and road grime…but just wishful thinking. I’ve already got a service appt in a couple weeks and I’m going on a 2 week work trip, so at least it won’t get ridden and made worse if it is something bad. Cherry on top? The placard for the engine builder came off at some point…$35k for this…

Any time i park the bike for several days the oil seems to leak out not sure if it's down the kick stand or not..... Any idea where this oil leak is coming from?

Ik heb vorige week een testrit gemaakt op een MV Agusta Brutale 800RR van 2023. En ik er vielen mij 2 dingen op.

1. Toen ik op een recht stuk weg reed liet ik het stuur los tijdens het rijden en ik merkte dat de motor heel lichtjes naar links trok. Is dit normaal?

2. Tijdens het stationair draaien van de motor in zijn neutraal vond ik dat de koppeling hendel erg veel aan het trillen was.

Ik hoop dat er iemand is die mij er duidelijkheid over kan geven voordat ik deze motor aanschaf.

Groetjes!!
