Two-wheeler magazine Bike India has awarded the MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR the title of Design of the Year 2019 at its awards ceremony held in Mumbai. The publication’s editor, Aspi Bhathena, said: “The Italians definitely know how to make beautiful motorcycles and the MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR elegantly underscores this. The fact that this bike manages to look good enough to be admired for hours on end, while packing a 140 PS punch from that 800 cc triple made it a clear winner.”
MV Agusta CEO Timur Sardarov said he was honoured by the recognition in a country that represented an important market for premium motorcycles. “This award is an accolade to Italian flair, passion and racing tradition,” said Sardarov. “Thanks to the excellent work of our partners from Motoroyale, the Brutale 800 RR is already very popular in India, and we expect this important recognition to further enhance our reputation both in this country and internationally.”
