After recently announcing the return of MV Agusta to the Canadian market, MV Agusta’s Canadian distributor Motovan has outed the Italian company’s new Brutale model. While it doe not seem that this model is the 675cc “Brutalina” that Castiglioni hinted at earlier this year, this Brutale instead appears to be an F4 derived street-naked, and is expected to hit the North American markets in mid-summer 2011. With pricing starting at $15,595 CAD, we expect pricing here in the United States to be closer to $14,595.

Likely based off the revised MV Agusta F4, which debuted at EICMA back in 2009, the new Brutale should see a style update to keep the street-naked inline with MV’s current take on the F4. Noticebale from Motovan’s pricing is the new Brutale’s lower price tag amount, which should help move some more units. We expect the new Brutale to have a 920cc displacement, and borrow heavily from the F4’s chassis design and aesthetic.

MV Agusta has entered into an exclusive agreement with the Motovan Corporation to serve as MV Agusta’s exclusive importer to the Canadian market. The agreement will finally bring the Varese company’s motorcycles to our neighbors to the North, but don’t expect it to happen overnight, ehh. According to Motovan and MV Agusta, import levels in 2011 will be extremely limited for Canada, and serious buyers will have to reserve their motorcycle online if they want to receive it. With the MV Agusta F3 being a 2012  model, we imagine that for the bulk of would-be MV Agusta owners, this supply issue will not be a problem.
