You can go ahead and tear down that poster of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/street%20triple/">Triumph Street Triple R</a>. The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/10/28/mv-agusta-teases-the-brutale-675-ahead-of-eicma-2011/">2012 MV Agusta Brutale 675</a> has officially debuted, and the bike promises to bring naked performance to a new level. Essentially a de-bodied <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/23/first-mv-agusta-f3-shots-slip-out/">F3 Supersport</a>, the Brutale 675 packs 113 horsepower and tips the scales at a feathery 358 pounds dry.<br />
<br />
MV Agusta has also equipped its naked warrior with a ride-by-wire system that boats four preset engine maps as well as a user-customizable tune. Eight-mode traction control is also part of the package.<br />
<br />
The 675 cc three-cylinder engine utilizes some pretty trick engineering to offer buyers a more compact powerplant and improved handling at the same time. The engine's water and oil pumps are integrated into the cylinder and crank cases for a design that takes up less space than ever before, and a counter-rotating crankshaft helps reduce the bike's tendency to wheelie off the line.<br />
<br />
In Europe, the 2012 MV Agusta Brutale 675 will set you back &euro;8,990, which is around &euro;100 cheaper than the equivalent <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/triumph">Triumph</a>.
