05 Brutale

[jcaputo8]

I have a 2003 749s, and been thinking about maybe an 05 Brutale, been trying to research as much as possible, but not to much info out there. If anyone could tell me some pros and cons of the MV or how it compares to the 749, it would be great!! Thanks Joe C

Well...for one it's gonna be more comfortable, if that's what you're after. The riding position isn't so extreme.

Also, since it's an 05, it's a 750, if you want a 910, you're gonna have to goto 06. The TQ will not be there, but you'll have a TON of top end in comparison.

This paragraph from motorcyclist pretty much sums up any questions you have:

Although most people will probably opt for the $14,500 910 when it arrives in America this fall, I’m not convinced. Bigger, in this case, isn’t necessarily better.

There you go....
