Grand finale at the 65th International Motorcycle show, the world’s most IMPORTANT MOTORCYCLE show with voting for the most beautiful motorcycle. The MV Agusta Brutale 1078RR beats the Ducati Monster 696 and the BMW HP2 Sport.

MV Agusta brought the 65th EICMA show to a successful conclusion winning the “Most Beautiful Motorcycle” award with the new Brutale 1078RR. The award was organised by the magazine “Motociclismo”, the best-known Italian specialist magazine in this sector. Voting never wavered throughout the show with more than 25.7% of visitors casting their ballots in favour of MV Agusta’s latest creation from a total of over 26,000 votes. Second with 15.2% was the Ducati Monster 696 that was in turn ahead of the BMW HP2 Sport (9.2%). The award was presented yesterday at the Motolive area and Claudio Castiglioni, the President of MV Agusta, was in attendance.

The new Brutale 1078RR will go on sale in early 2008 alongside the 989R and 910S versions. The 1078RR differs in that it has a bigger engine putting out 154 CV, new graphics, adjustable suspension from the F4 RR 312, a slipper clutch, forged wheels and radial Brembo monoblock brake calipers.
