Kit MV Agusta Bestiale by Yacouba
If you remember the Bestiale, a special model that was developed on the base of the MV Agusta Brutale, you might be disappointed that it never saw production. If so, Yatouba has developed a kit that will transform your Brutale into something even nastier.
The price of the kit is about 6,000 euros and exlcusively comprises modifications to the look of the bike - the MV will always be mean, but with a few extra touches of agression.
The most interesting changes are in the cover, the tank area and the tail. After the jump is the video presentation of this angry little gem. As the Italians would say, this model is “bestiale”.
Video: MV Agusta Brutale 1078 RR test ride
This little baby has 140hp of power, and as they say on MotoTV, you should never give it too much confidence when riding. This video of the test ride of the MV Agusta Brutale 1078 RR is all in Italian but you can enjoy some shots of this bike in action all the same.
MV Bestiale enters production
According to the guys at MCN the lovely but nasty MV Agusta Bestiale, presented by Yacouba at Paris in 2007, should enter the production phase.
In addition to the bike, a kit will also be available which can change your Brutale into the more extreme Bestiale version. Given the success with which this model was received by the public, manufacturing should prove a smart move.
Based on the Brutale 910 with the same engine and chassis, the bike is now dressed up for summer with an agressive but minimalist design.

Ducati wins awards in "Best Bike, 2008"
President and CEO of Ducati, Gabriele Del Torchio, has announced on Desmoblog that the company has been recognized in Milan in In Moto’s bike-of-the-year competition.
Ducati was the main focus winnning in the sports category with the 1098 S and followed by the Desmosedici RR, first in the Supermotard category with the Hypermotard and first also with the Multistrada 1100 S in the road category. In 2007 the 1098 was also awarded the “Best Bike of the Year” award by SWA - Supertest World Association.
In the naked category the MV Augusta Brutale 910 won, best in the Chopper/cruiser category was the Harley Davidson V-Rod while the Kawasaki 1400 GTR won the tourer and sport-tourer category. Following is the complete ranking of the prizes.
MV Agusta Brutale 910R Wally
Would 2008 have been a year without a limited edition Brutale? Absolutely not and for this, MV Agusta, in collaboration with Wally (designer of luxury boats), presents the new Brutale 910R Wally.
Wally has become an icon in yachting design thanks to its founder and yachstman, Luca Bassini, who helped Wally win the Millenium Yacht Design Award. Now Wally produces sporting and luxury yachts that range from 11 to 50 metres in length.
Returning to Brutale however, it doesn’t show substantial differences from the 910R standard and exactly like the Brutale Hydrogen, the major difference lies in the colour.
