Yahoo Autos MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR Assen superbike delivers 208 horsepower — at up to 186 mph
Racing-inspired special-edition models aren't limited to the world of cars. Italian motorcycle manufacturer MV Agusta has unveiled a bike called Brutale 1000 RR Assen that stands out from the model it's based on with a comprehensive list of track-ready weight-saving features.
Named after a race track in Holland, the Assen weighs about 13 pounds less than the regular 1000 RR thanks largely to a long list of carbon fiber parts. The airbox cover, the dashboard harness cover, both fuel tank panels, the headlight cover, the front spoiler, and even the 17-inch wheels are among the components made with the weight-saving composite material. The list of standard features also includes a 5.5-inch thin-film transistor (TFT) instrument cluster, cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity, Alcantara-upholstered seats, and a navigation system.
