Faster and Faster: Riding Impression: MV Agusta Brutale 989R

June 19th, 2008 · No Comments

This really seems like a parody of a motorcycle review. The combination of hyberbolic superlatives and apologies made me laugh. Check it:

With every twist of the throttle, the 989R catapults you to infinity. And yet, the fuel injection is better than ever before – power delivery has been smoothened out, and unlike the previous bike, the new one doesn’t threaten to spit you off at lower speeds with sudden acceleration. Fuel consumption, at about 11km/l, isn’t too bad either.

Hmm, so the new bike tries to kill me less and gets 26 mpg? 26 mpg on a motorcycle is terrible. Guys, try and keep a little credibility.
