Kinetic Motoroyale, the Indian partner for the Italian motorcycle maker MV Agusta has launched the limited edition Brutale 800 RR America in the country.
The MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR America Edition pays homage to the 1975 750S America and was built to fulfill a request from Chris Garville and Jim Cotherman of Commerce Overseas Corporation – the primary US importer of MV Agusta motorcycles in the 1970s.
Only 200 units of the Brutale 800 RR America are produced globally out of which only five units have been allotted for India.

The limited edition model is inspired by the US flag for the paint work and sports red, blue and white shades. Each model comes with a star studded logo on the fuel tank and the specific production number. Owners will also be given a certificate of authenticity with every limited edition model. Visual changes also include blue and red paint work on the alloy wheels and the ‘America Special Edition’ decal on the sides of the radiator.
The MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR America is powered by the same heart as that which powers the standard version- 798 cc in-line three-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine tuned for 140 bhp at 12,300 rpm and 86 Nm of peak torque at 10,100 rpm. The motor is paired with a 6-speed transmission with a slipper clutch- while the 750S America was powered by a 789 cc double overhead cam inline-four motor, capable of 75 bhp and had a red line of 8500 rpm. MV Agusta’s Grand Prix racing experience had largely helped in developing the engine for the 750S America.
The new MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR America carries a price tag of Rs 18.73 lakh (ex-showroom) which is cheaper than the standard version by about Rs 30,000, owing to the to the stronger performance of the Indian Rupee in recent weeks. Motoroyale dealerships are accepting bookings for the motorcycle.
