Conclusion - what sticks

Man, man, man, what a motorcycle. The MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RS is a wonderfully independent bike with rough edges. Typically Italian, style and driving are in the foreground. You can see over one or the other peculiarity and are happy that you do not ride a uniform mush, but Italian motorcycle construction at its best. Above all, the optics are artful, which we simply could not get enough of.

It's a pity that after half a day of heating on the country roads of Schleswig-Holstein and a short motorway stage, we had to return the rental machine to Bergmann & Söhne in Hamburg am Nedderfeld. Nevertheless, we are grateful for this experience and can only advise all potential buyers to visit B&S. Even if you don't want to drive, it's worth taking a look at the 1st floor: Here they are, the treasures from Varese. Also an RR and the even more beautiful Superveloce in several colors. I think I'll go there again tomorrow...
