First Time Riding MV Agusta | 2024 Demo Day

[@steeleejoe]

I was there that day and got to ride the Brutale 1000 RS. Coming from an F3 800, it had loads of power, but the demo route didn't offer much opportunity to really open it up...

That's awesome !!! What time were you there? I was there from about 11-12pm. Yeah, I couldn't get on the 1000, all the slots were booked up. It was a shame that the route was all local, but not sure how long I would have lasted out there ... it was pretty hot !!! lol

@@kintsugimoto I had found a web link to sign up a week beforehand. Otherwise the 1000 had been fully booked up. My scheduled ride was for 12pm, but it got bumped to 2pm. There other bikes all looked sweet, but too similar to my F3 800 to be worthwhile. I loved riding the Brutale RS, and I'm not looking for a naked bike. The little bit of the preview I could get out of the engine was already batshit insane. I love the look of the exhaust, the sound, and how much more modern it was. There's higher level fit and finish than the 3 cylinder bikes. For $30k+, it should! I used to own an '03 F4. I'll always compare every bike to those 99-09 masterpieces.

@@steeleejoe Ahhh, I should have done that !!! lol ... mental note for next time. Thanks for the review on the 1000, glad it's still living up their reputation. Will be curious to see what happens after KTM get their hands in there ;)
