Official MV Agusta 2017 image surfaces in Italy…

What do you reckon to that image then? There’s been lots of ups and downs with the MV Agusta brand recently and various re-hashes about the brand being OK – despite three investors sniffing around and AMG Mercedes positioning itself to move should the 25% stake in the firm be reduced – but this still looks good.

The image is going on the cover of Motociclismo in Italy, the major motorcycle title. The Italian journos say that this is an official image of the 2017 Brutale 1000.

And who are we to argue?

All we know is, after the recent one-off special F4Z from the factory a couple of weeks ago (pictured above), MV needs something pretty interesting and sexy to keep the interest in its current range.

So, does this do it for you? You like?
