In November 2019, Italian bike maker MV Agusta announced the Rush 1000, a souped up version of the already potent Brutale 1000 RR, intended to “offer huge thrills over just a few hundred metres.” Those who were waiting for the drag bike to hit the market just received a piece of good news this week.
MV Agusta said production of the motorcycle should begin next month, with the first models expected to be delivered to customers by the end of June. The run will be a limited one, and the company will stop making Rushes as soon as 300 of them have left the lines.
“With the production of the Rush 1000 starting this coming June, we are right on track with respect to our 5 year industrial plan announced a few weeks ago,” said in a statement Timur Sardarov, CEO of MV Agusta.
“As we are breaking new ground in our expansion journey into new segments and new markets, MV Agusta will continue to produce amazing works of exclusive motorcycle art from its headquarters in Italy, remaining true to its heritage of performance, elegance and state-of-the art technology. I am sure this incredibly attractive model will meet the enthusiasm of the proud new owners.”
The bike is not one to mess around with. The naked body of the motorcycle reveals a 4-cylinder inline engine that in road-legal configuration can spit out 208 hp. It can get even more potent, and at the same time not legal to ride on public roads, if a special exhaust and an updated ECU are fitted, increasing the power levels to 212 hp.
According to MV Agusta, the Rush 1000 has been designed to include technology usually found in MotoGP. An 8-level traction control system, launch control, electronically controlled Öhlins suspension and Bosch ABS are just a few of the technologies that should help make the bike a force to be reckoned with.
