2012 MV Agusta Brutale 920

MV Agusta formally announces that the much awaited new F3 “Serie Oro”. In keeping with the traditions of the brand the limited edition “Serie Oro” version appeals to collectors and enthusiasts of Italian engineering excellence. These exclusive models, of which a maximum of 200 examples will be built only to special order, differ from the standard version via a multitude of details, both in terms of aesthetics and engineering. The F3 Serie Oro is immediately recognized by the gold frame plates and single-sided swing arm, as well as the forged aluminum wheels painted the same color.

The deliberately minimalist graphics subtly emphasize the lines of the bike, as well as identifying it. The sensuous bodywork design is characterised by a special paint scheme which accentuates its shapely form; the final result is a striking reinterpretation of the traditional MV Agusta silver and red livery. Even the rear view mirrors are painted, and the seat subframe matches the colour of the F3s tubular space-frame. The clutch cover and the frame plates are machine polished, while the alternator cover is completely milled from a billet, providing these components with the hand-made feel that makes each MV unique.

2012 MV Agusta Brutale 920 Review


THE BRUTALE LINE EXPANDS

The city is at your feet, the curves have been tamed under your wheels. Perfect control together with class leading comfort and style make the Brutale unique. A design icon, a distillation of pure Italian technology and style. As menacing as ever, but at the same time completely under control and ready to dominate the most demanding roads. The new MV Agusta Brutale is what you have been looking for. Express pure power and style, on your first Brutale. As always, the experience will be unforgettable.

The MV Agusta model line-up is expanding with the introduction of the new BRUTALE and the 920 engine. This incredible naked has enamored the motorcycle world with its unique design that has been to date unequaled. Ever since its introduction the BRUTALE has continued to be the leader in both design and performance. With the launching of the new BRUTALE, the most beautiful and powerful naked is now within reach of an even larger number of riders whom have always dreamed of experiencing the emotions only the BRUTALE can deliver. A new engine, new chassis settings, a one-piece seat design with a focus on comfort, the BRUTALE offers a new interpretation of a high performance naked. A motorcycle that offers aggressive styling and raw performance matched with an intuitive chassis. A Brutale that is always incredible easy to ride and has never been this comfortable and intuitive.

On a cost per performance basis, the BRUTALE is without a doubt the new reference in the naked sport category. A technologically advanced 4 cylinder engine with radial intake and exhaust valves coupled with the same advanced engine control unit as the 1090RR together with one of the most evolved chassis’s the BRUTALE is able to easily tame even the most demanding roads and racetracks.

This advanced performance is also coupled with a new look, with the color black dominating the new styling of the radiator shrouds and seat. But, looks are not everything and a major focus was also placed on rider comfort with a re-designed single seat that improves both rider and passenger comfort during every day use.

The BRUTALE project continues to remain faithful to the original objectives, MV wanted to build the most compact and light weight naked coupled with a superbike chassis together with raw engine performance that would enamor even the most demanding motorcyclist.

Details of perfection.

Racing technology and style without compromise, unrivaled attention to detail combined with ultra-sophisticated electronics. It's your
MV Agusta Brutale.

The powerful in-line four-cylinder engine features a radial valve arrangement and has set a new standard in Italian motorcycle engineering. The latest technology, including a further refined electronic traction control system coupled with an electronic fuel injection that employs multi-maps places the Brutale ahead of the competition. Completely new cylinders and pistons radically change the nature of the Brutale. More torque and a more linear power delivery make your Brutale the perfect daily companion.

Chiselled like a jewel, precious in every detail. MV Agusta Brutale personifies the new age of naked bikes. Equipped with a comfortable seat for two, smooth and precise suspension and racing brakes, the Brutale is completed by its two predominant exhaust pipes with no visible welds.

This particular facet makes it as unique as its sound. MV Brutale is for everyone, a bike that tames the city and attacks the track.

Unique and unmistakable, the headlight comes with a new reflector including a halogen optical group that creates a strong visual
impact. Form, function, design, and efficiency are all aspects of the signiture MV Agusta style, a style that is recognizable in the LED tail light that is shared by the other models within the Brutale family. Every detail has been studied very carefully to ensure that our models remain unique and unsurpassed.

2012 MV Agusta Brutale 920 Features and Benefits


The principle characteristics of the new BRUTALE are:

- Four cylinder engine with radial valves
- Magneti Marelli 5SM engine control module
- Traction control with 8 levels of intervention
- Tubular steel frame coupled with aluminum side plates for maximum torsional rigidity
- Single sided swingarm with a adjustable Sachs rear shock
- Marzocchi upside down 50mm adjustable front forks
- Brembo racing radial calipers
- New single piece seat that is both lower and narrower

THE DESIGN

The new BRUTALE is without a doubt Brutale, but at the same time this is a new interpretation of the most admired naked in the world. The attention to detail is what makes this new model different and even easier to use in everyday riding. The single piece seat is both more comfortable for the rider as well as the passenger, the turn signals are no longer integrated into the mirrors but have been placed in a position for better visibility during city traffic, the suspension is now softer and more comfortable. A Brutale that is easier to use than ever before but with the same maniacal attention to detail that one has come to expect from MV Agusta. Just one look at the tubular steel frame, the anodized handlebars with pivoting clamps, the pure form of design of the shift and brake levers, the single sided swingarm and unique wheels and it clear why the Brutale is the most beautiful naked in the world.

The two available color schemes are black and white. The single sided swingarm along with the unmistakable styling make this new BRUTALE unique. A masterpiece of Italian Design, the attention to detail and monochromatic color schemes helps to highlight the technical details like the over-under side mounted exhaust and the original MV Agusta frame design integrating tubular steel and aluminum side plates.

THE ENGINE

The 4 cylinder 16 radial valve MV Agusta engine has reached a new level of evolution and technology. The 921cc, a new engine displacement for Brutale, finds the perfect balance between power and drivability. The new displacement of the legendary 4 cylinder is obtained with a new bore and stroke ratio with a focus on optimizing the power curve of the BRUTALE to be even more manageable while at the same time offering the class leading power. The new four cylinder MV Agusta matches 129 horsepower with a broad torque curve, incredible levels of power have never been this easy to control. The crankshaft of the BRUTALE is shared with the 55mm stroke unit in the 1090RR as well as the 2nd order engine balance shaft and the optimized oiling system and the oil cooled generator.

The BRUTALE has a number of dedicated engine components including the new cylinder block and 73mm pistons as well as a cooling system with the radiator catch tank which is now at the same pressure as the atmosphere helping to keep the engine temperature under control even in the most extreme track or city driving conditions. The intake system breaths through a bank of 46mm Mikuni throttle bodies working together with the hyper sophisticated engine management system. The Magneti Marelli 5SM ecu controls the fuel injection, ignition and the various maps. The double engine map (Normal and Sport) allows the rider to tune the engine management system to the conditions and coupled with 8 position variable traction control the BRUTALE can be ridden to the limit while always remaining under control.

THE CHASSIS

The BRUTALE shares its chassis configuration and geometry with the 990R and 1090RR as well as most of the chassis components. The frame is a mixture of a steel trellis structure and lateral aluminum plates that has become the trademark of MV Agusta since the first application on the F4, a frame structure that has been continually copied but never equaled by other manufacturers. The chassis dimensions are the same as on the other Brutale models offering a perfect dynamic balance and a precise response to rider inputs. With a 1430mm wheelbase, 25° steering head angle and 103,5mm of trail the new BRUTALE offers without a doubt the best balance of agility and stability. A technical feature the new BRUTALE is a new steering head which offers optimized rigidity for this type of naked which will without a doubt become the new reference for easy handling. Coupled with the revised steering head design is new suspension valving which is both softer and smoother to give the maximum amount of feedback even to less experienced riders. But, make no mistakes, the new BRUTALE is still Brutale, thanks to the infinite amount of tuning possible with the 50mm Marzocchi USD front forks and Sachs mono shock. With just a few clicks you can easily transform the BRUTALE into a track weapon. BRUTALE is also known for its agility: coupled with the new Pirelli Angel tires the feedback from the tarmac is always immediate and the 180/55 section rear tire aids in putting down the 129 horsepower from the MV 4 cylinder engine. Performance of a supersport and handle of a middleweight, the new BRUTALE from MV Agusta continues to redefine the naked sportbike segment.

2013 Honda CBR1000RR Features and Benefits

Honda Electronic Steering Damper

LCD Instruments

The CBR1000RR’s full-screen LCD instrumentation includes a lap timer, trip and fuel-consumption computer, five-level customizable shift indicator, gear-position indicator and peak-rpm memory function.

12-Spoke Wheels

With their consistent rigidity and balance, these sharp-looking 12-spoke cast aluminum wheels work with the BPF fork to enhance suspension feedback to deliver real handling improvements.

BPF Front Suspension

The CBR1000RR’s front suspension uses a Big Piston Fork (BPF). The 43mm Showa fork is smoother and more responsive, and gives you excellent front-end feedback.

Layered Fairing

There’s no mistaking the 2013 CBR1000RR, thanks to its Layered Fairing bodywork. Lean, mean, more aggressive from front to back, it’s a real attention getter, even when it’s standing still.

Dual-Stage Fuel Injection

Two sets of injectors per cylinder for both low- and high-rpm performance. Instantaneous high-rpm response, along with great low-rpm metering and clean running.

Assisted Slipper Clutch

Superbikes can deliver a great deal of backtorque through the driveline, upsetting handling. Not the CBR1000RR. Its Honda-designed Assisted Slipper Clutch is the same type used on our MotoGP bikes. The design does away with the need for heavy clutch springs ensuring full power transmission with smooth shifting and a light clutch pull at the lever.

Twin-Spar Aluminum Chassis

Four-piece aluminum frame design balances strength, rigidity, and lightness. Wrapped tightly around the engine, the structure helps centralize the CBR1000RR's mass for more responsive handling--some of the best anywhere on two wheels.

Unit Pro-Link® Rear Suspension

The CBR1000RR features premium suspension front and rear. In the back, the Unit Pro Link design uses a Balance Free Rear shock that uses a double-tube design for smoother and more accurate response.

Gull-Wing Swingarm

The CBR1000RR’s braced aluminum "gull wing" swingarm is deliberately long. That helps deliver improved traction and gives the rider excellent chassis feedback.

2013 Honda Crosstourer Special Edition Review


In 2012 Honda proudly announced the expansion of its state-of-the-art V4 model line-up by introducing the new Crosstourer, first launched as a concept model in 2010 at the Eicma Show. For 2013 this exciting V4 Adventure Sports Tourer is released in a new Special Edition.

The Crosstourer delivers all the fun and excitement of a sports tourer with the comfortable upright riding position and manoeuvrability of an adventure machine. This is underpinned by Honda's V4 expertise and its Dual Clutch Transmission with enhanced functionalities.

The development team, led by Yosuke Hasegawa (Large Project Leader), wanted to create a machine that gave the rider a sense of challenge and adventure. Japanese phrases used during the concept creation and development translate into English as, "I can do this. I can go to a place like that". "This" could be a long distance journey on fast major roads and motorways, or an adventure to a remote destination in the mountains. The Crosstourer development team wanted to create a motorcycle that was fit for all purposes, a perfect travel companion, while also offering a premium and unique design complemented by cutting edge technologies.

The Crosstourer combines sports touring features, such as the powerful V4 engine configuration also found in the VFR1200F, with features found on off-road motorcycles such as long travel suspension and an upright riding position for reassuring handling and grip. This crossover between two biking genres makes the Crosstourer a unique and versatile package. The long-travel suspension - usually found on off-road bikes to smoothly travel over rough terrain - benefits riders on uneven road surfaces. The rugged long-travel suspension systems also make for superb ride quality and precise control. The upright riding position provides comfort, control and outstanding visibility for the rider.

Like the Crossrunner unveiled at EICMA in 2010, the Crosstourer provides the power of a V4 engine packaged in a crossover motorcycle. Honda's Dual Clutch Transmission system is a perfect fit with the Crosstourer's advanced, pioneering spirit. The twin-clutch transmission offers both manual gear shifting, using buttons on the handlebars, and stress-free fully automatic functionality which can be manually overridden whenever the rider chooses. The machine also comes equipped with a TCS (Traction Control System), which increases the rider's reassurance on low-friction riding surfaces by ensuring the engine never transmits more power than the rear tyre can handle. Refinements such as Honda's Combined ABS underline the motorcycle's all-weather, all-road capability - this machine really is ready for anything.

The Crosstourer sets a new standard in full size adventure sports touring motorcycles. It offers a unique combination of V4 engine performance with advanced technology (Combined ABS, TCS, Dual Clutch Transmission) for stability and handling when riding solo or two-up on all types of road and all lengths of journey. The adventure starts here.

The Special Edition Crosstourer: new graphics and a matt black look, including front forks, fender and tail section, for the 1200cc adventure sports tourer that went on sale earlier in 2012. Offered with the option of Honda’s unique Dual Clutch Transmission technology.

Chosen for its excellent weight/rigidity balance, the Crosstourer's die-cast aluminium frame mounts long-travel suspension systems front and rear to deliver an engaging riding experience and a comfortable ride, even on rough roads.

Honda Technology
Honda's Traction Control System (TCS) and Combined ABS underline the new machine's any-road, any-weather capability. The two ensure rider peace of mind, even in low-grip conditions.

2013 Honda Crosstourer Special Edition Features and Benefits

Styling

Inspiring, function-led styling
The Crosstourer's styling suggests great strength allied with a refined sportiness. Recurring design themes like sharp edges accentuate its rugged adventure style; a lack of bulk at the front of the bike gives a feeling of lightness. The headlight configuration consists of a stacked headlight arrangement with the main beam headlight positioned above the high beam unit. The headlights and effective windscreen are positioned towards the middle of the machine to help centralise mass while also offering great wind protection. Channels in the fairing at the front of the bike reduce frontal area while ducting cooling air into the radiators. The rear of the machine is highly functional with an integrated luggage carrier and grab rail to which the optional panniers attach directly. The LED indicators, used for the first time on a large capacity Honda motorcycle, ensure optimum visibility.

Protection from the elements
The Crosstourer features off-road inspired knuckle guards to provide welcome wind and weather protection for the rider's hands. The adjustable windscreen has been shaped using computational fluid dynamics analysis for an idealised shape and just enough wind protection - the design lets the rider feel the breeze, which is part of the joy of riding a motorcycle, while keeping fatigue to a minimum.

Multi-function digital instruments
The advanced multi-function instrument panel is both attractively styled and easy to read at a glance. Positioned just below the rider's line of sight to maximise the amount of time spent looking ahead, the display is dominated by a large, clear digital speedometer. This is flanked by gauges showing remaining fuel and engine temperature. Across the top of the display is a bar-type tachometer, which runs left to right as engine rpm increases. Further information includes an odometer, two trip meters, remaining fuel, fuel consumption (both actual and average), range to empty, a gear position indicator, a clock and the currently selected Dual Clutch Transmission mode (if applicable). This instrument panel is also adjustable for brightness.

Ergonomic Design
Comfortable riding position
Key to the appeal of the Crosstourer is the off-road inspired upright riding position, perfect for riding in busy city streets and twisting rural roads alike; the Crosstourer is a confidence-inspiring ally. The Crosstourer's carefully considered ergonomics package offers both rider and passenger a high degree of freedom. Natural support of the rider's body weight between footpegs, seat and handlebar make the machine comfortable even on extended rides. The riding position also offers excellent visibility, with clear lines of sight over surrounding vehicles. Finally, the freedom of the riding position, coupled with the machine's generous steering lock, centralised mass and wide, tapered handlebars, gives great low-speed control.

Engine
Big-capacity V4 performance
The Crosstourer is a machine designed to give its rider the feeling that anything is possible: no journey is too long or too demanding, no road or surface impassable. Contributing significantly to this joyous feeling is the Honda V4 engine, now within a sports adventure touring package that delivers impressive power and torque in a controllable and responsive way.

Compact engine dimensions
The V4 configuration is slim and compact, reducing frontal area and helping realise a mass-centralised chassis for excellent handling. Furthermore, the engine features a very closely set pair of rear cylinders, making the engine narrower at the back. The result is a comfortably slim and manageable motorcycle. Further contributing to the engine's compact dimensions is Honda's revolutionary Unicam technology, borrowed from the CRF range of single-cylinder motocross machines. This employs a single overhead camshaft configuration to reduce the size and weight of the cylinder heads and optimise combustion chamber shape, benefiting performance.

Smooth engine operation
The Crosstourer's engine uses a combination of a 76° angle between the two banks of cylinders and a crankshaft with 28° phasing between the crankpins to virtually eliminate vibration. Since this obviates the need for a power-sapping balancer shaft, the result is a higher output together with a serene absence of vibration. This is an engine you can use all day, for hundreds of miles, without fatigue.

Optimised engine settings
Based on the engine found in the VFR1200F, the Crosstourer's powerplant has been modified to better suit its intended duties. To further increase low and medium rpm drive the design of the camshafts has been revised, as has the valve timing. The result is satisfying drive, even from very low engine rpm.

Muscular engine feel
Honda's legendary V4 engines have long been characterised by an uneven firing order. The Crosstourer is no different, and these firing intervals help make the rider feel intimately connected to the engine, giving the confidence to use its performance, together with a satisfying engine feel.

Refined control
Further contributing to the V4's superb levels of control and user-friendliness is the advanced ride-by-wire system, which precisely meets the rider's demands with just the right amount of easily-controlled performance; no more and no less.

Dual Clutch Transmission
A product of Honda's ongoing desire to use new technologies to bring fun and convenience to peoples' lives, Dual Clutch Transmission uses automated clutch and gearshift operation to deliver the same riding enjoyment as a manual transmission with the convenience of an automatic. As the name implies, the system uses two clutches: one for start-up and 1st, 3rd and 5th gears; and another for 2nd, 4th and 6th. By pre-selecting the next gear using the clutch not currently in use, the system can electronically switch clutches when required to deliver swift, smooth and seamless gearshifts. This smoothness is particularly beneficial when carrying a passenger.

A mode for every situation
Three modes of operation are available for flexibility to suit different riding styles and situations. MT mode gives full manual control, allowing the rider to shift gears with the handlebar trigger control buttons. Two fully automatic shift modes are also available. D mode is ideal for city and highway riding, and maintaining fuel efficiency. The ECU monitors several key parameters and can choose between two maps; one for normal conditions, which minimises gear shifts for smooth progress, and a second for high-load use that changes gear more readily for increased acceleration and stronger engine braking. In sporty S mode the transmission lets the engine rev a little higher before shifting up, giving greater performance, and also shifts down sooner when decelerating. In either D or S mode the Dual Clutch Transmission offers immediate manual intervention if required. The rider simply selects the required gear using the MT mode shift button. Changes to the software system now mean that at an appropriate time the system reverts back to the automatic mode.

Reassuring TCS Traction Control System
The Crosstourer is equipped with TCS traction control. This system monitors rear wheel speed, looking for fluctuations that could suggest an imminent loss of traction and, subsequently, machine control. If the system believes wheel-spin is imminent, engine power is momentarily reduced, maintaining traction. The system can be switched off, should the rider prefer, for certain conditions.

Chassis
Quartered hollow die-cast aluminium beam frame
The frame of the Crosstourer is a hollow aluminium unit that employs a quartered construction. This technique enables very precise control over the all-important weight/rigidity balance of each part of the frame. The result is superb handling with a reassuring sense of stability, regardless of the road surface.

Wheels
Shock-damping tubeless spoked wheels
Developed especially for this model, the Crosstourer spoked wheels have been designed to absorb the shocks generated by rough road surfaces, working with the machine's suspension systems to deliver a comfortably refined ride quality. Tyre sizes - 110/80-R19 at the front, 150/70-R17 at the rear - have been chosen to balance keen, agile handling with effortless traction.

Suspension
Long-travel suspension systems
Designed to excel on the hugely varied road surfaces of Europe, the front and rear suspension systems both offer generous amounts of controlled, bump-absorbing travel. The rigid 43mm upside-down telescopic forks offer reassuring control with precise steering and stability, even during hard cornering and heavy braking. Meanwhile, the Pro-Link rear suspension configuration combines strong traction with ride quality. Both the front forks and rear shock are adjustable for both tension (rebound) and preload, allowing riders to alter chassis characteristics to suit their riding style and intended usage.

Maintenance-free shaft final drive
To ensure it is as easy to maintain as it is to ride, the Crosstourer uses a maintenance-free shaft final drive. The design of this fuss-free transmission has been developed to be both durable and very quiet, even during high speed running.

Brakes

Combined ABS
The Crosstourer is equipped with Combined ABS, offering balanced front and rear braking for more stable deceleration and the extra reassurance of an Antilock Brake System. If either wheel is about to lock up and skid, Combined ABS momentarily reduces the hydraulic pressure being applied to the relevant brake and distributes the force optimally between both brakes, ensuring powerful and secure braking in all conditions.

Colours
The 2013 VFR1200X Crosstourer will be launched in a range of five colours.

- Special Edition
- Digital Silver Metallic
- Pearl Sunbeam White
- Pearl Cosmic Black
- Candy Prominence Red

Model history
To test the validity of a new concept motorcycle, one with the comfort, power and go-anywhere capability to satisfy even the most adventurous individuals, Honda unveiled the V4 Crosstourer concept model at the 2010 EICMA (Esposizone Internazionale Ciclo Motociclo Accessori) show in Milan, Italy. Positioned alongside the smaller Crossrunner, the concept explored the possibility of a rugged motorcycle based around the frame and powerful 1,237cm3 V4 engine of the VFR1200F.

This new machine's remit evolved slightly from the concept to the mass production version. The concept bike was an adventure machine with the emphasis on long-distance all-road touring. The production Crosstourer is a more versatile package, as effective in the city on the daily commute as it is on the open highway. To achieve this, the styling has been revised and the machine made less bulky and more manoeuvrable. The chassis specification has also been altered, with the adoption of upside-down forks for greater on-road control, for example.

The Crosstourer is the perfect platform to emphasise the numerous technical advantages of a V4 engine: high power output with a compact, centralised mass for good handling and a small frontal area for reduced aerodynamic drag. The distinctive growl of the V4 is another essential part of the machine's appeal.

Optional equipment

The versatility of the Crosstourer can be further enhanced with a range of Honda Genuine Accessories, designed to complement its styling and performance. These include:

- An Averto Alarm Kit: A compact alarm unit with a 118dB siren and back-up battery. Low consumption sleep mode to protect the battery from draining. Features a movement and shock detector with 8 sensitivity modes.

2012 Victory Hammer 8-Ball Features and Benefits

6-SPEED OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION
The best performing transmission on the street collects the power generated by the massive V-twin and allows the Hammer 8-Ball to roll fluidly between the curbs. Helical-cut gears ensure that each shift will be as smooth and clean as the bike itself.

113 FT LBS TORQUE
Press the starter and you can feel deep in your chest an eruption of low-end torque. With each precision-tuned piston stroke, the Freedom V-Twin's 4-valve overhead cams and perfectly matched 6-speed overdrive transmission promise to provide unmatched throttle response, acceleration and passing power.

INVERTED FRONT FORK
The Hammer 8-Ball's classic look pleases every rider walking up to his machine, but that feeling is turbocharged when taking it through the twisties. The beefy inverted front fork sends more rigidity forward, providing better handling at every turn.

250-MM REAR TIRE
Put a 250 mm tire on the back of a muscle cruiser like the Hammer 8-Ball, and rider and machine will both look like they are ready for anything the road has to dish out. In this case, looks aren't deceiving. This tire will stick to the road no matter the condition, and make any rim proud to be associated with it.

REMOVABLE PASSENGER COWL
Even the most independent of riders feels the need for human interaction once and a while. When that time comes yank the stylish, color-matched cowl and there's your passenger's ticket to ride. When ready to get back to that drag bike demeanor, simply reattach the cowl and return to one-up heaven.

BLACKED OUT PIPES AND HEADLIGHT
Leave it up to the Hammer 8-Ball to take you where no bike has gone before. Blacked out pipes and black bullet headlight take you to the dark side, which leads to the kind of performance that has every other motorcycle scurrying for the light.
