may be due to the influence of the humanistic environment. The cars designed by Italians in the long history can always bring people visual enjoyment, and they can always combine art and performance to make people fascinated. Augusta, which has the reputation of Ferrari in the motorcycle world, each of its models shows the innate talent of Italians for car-making.
This is true for sports cars, and so are street cars. From 1958 to 1974, Augusta has dominated the GP500 race throne for 17 years with its powerful three-cylinder engine, which undoubtedly represents Thanks to its excellent manufacturing technology and performance. The street car in this free mechanical test drive is naturally related to this three-cylinder engine with a glorious history.
The legend of Brutale began at INTERMOT, which opened in Cologne, Germany on September 13, 2000. The original Brutale 750 Gold Series made its debut. The revolutionary design and Brutale's name are a match made in heaven. It shocked the industry with its unique style, excellent performance and design, and relied on oval headlights and layered exhaust design to redefine the aesthetics of the motorcycle industry.
turned out more than ten years later, Brutale 800 RR once again guides us in the future. After the redesign, the performance and artistic sense of Brutale 800 can be sublimated again. The sculptural fuel tank and organ-style three exhausts all demonstrate the unique artistic sense of the car.

Dynamic part this time A test drive of the Brutale 800 RR just met my wish. When the Brutale 800 was launched four years ago, I was unable to fully understand the car due to site restrictions. So after this opportunity, I conducted a test on the Brutale 800 RR. Experience.
The three-cylinder engine is not too unfamiliar to Nirvana. I have driven Daytona 675 and the Frog Prince in the early days. I recently experienced Augusta F3 EAS and Triumph TIGER 800 XCA. . Except that the three-cylinder engine recognized by the public only combines the advantages of two-cylinder and four-cylinder, the performance of Brutale 800 RR is completely different from other engines.
street is the most frequent place for Brutale 800 RR owners and the best place for this car. Although the center of gravity of the vehicle is somewhat high, it does not affect its flexibility. With a short wheelbase and a dry weight of only 175kg, it is no exaggeration to say that it feels like a 250cc car on the street. The more congested the place, the more it can reflect its advantage of light driving.
In normal and sports mode, the power of Brutale 800 RR is very different from the style. It is like an agitated horse. When you turn the throttle a little faster, your legs have to clamp the fuel tank. If Italy was the home of sports cars beforeThis adjective is a bit vague. After a deep throttle, I think everyone will understand the Italians' pursuit of power.
For middle-aged drivers of 30-40 years old who may have passed their passionate years, choose the driving mode to rain, adjust the TC system to 8 (the highest level of protection), and Brutale 800 The RR's power is no longer irritable. The soft, non-irritable power is like driving a 400cc car. Without the nervous mood with the irritable power, you can look at the scenery along the way.
Although the city’s dynamic performance is very balanced, there are some problems. When following the car at low speed, it feels very strong to disengage when the speed is below 2000/rpm. The car is moving forward one after another. It needs frequent semi-clutch operation, but fortunately it is equipped with a hydraulic clutch. Driving during peak hours is not very difficult. The second is that the steering angle is somewhat small, and more space is required when turning around. The third is that the seat cushion is narrow and the filling is not soft, and the sides of the thighs will be a little painful after driving for a long time.
Before officially entering the mountain road, I have adjusted the mode to sports and TC to the low rank, and I am always ready to make a smooth bend with the Brutale 800 RR, but I really started the first bend of the mountain road... I was stupid. The set of maneuvers in my mind when riding a street car to corner is completely unsuitable for Brutale 800 RR.
is probably what kind of feeling is that when the body is tilted and bends, it is found that the car is so upright that it can’t go down, and finally it’s pressed down, but it is very reluctant to return to the center, stiff body It seems that it is always willing to work against you. I'm scratching my head twice in a row up and down the mountain. How do I ride it?
Suddenly, I remembered that I had experienced this feeling in another car, right! Tuonov 1100, also from Italy, so I changed my riding style and drove it like an F3, and finally found the right feeling.
It’s not that the car is unwilling to do the inclination, but my original operation did not get the center of gravity of the car. When I started to use the whole body to drive the car to do the inclination, I found the feeling of the unity of people and cars. . When I went through the S-turn, I fell down instantly and then returned to the center instantly. The body is no longer stiff, and the degree of obedience is like an extension of my body, always following my thoughts.
And this set of shock absorbers of Brutale 800 RR is really developed based on the track, so it is very stable in the corners, plus the short wheelbase body, the response speed is very, very fast when turning over, if it is not a parallel car There is no air deflector on the handlebar and the front of the car. At this moment, it is hard to think that this is the feeling of a street car.
After finding this feeling, I started to keep the speed close to the red zone again and again, the loud sound and the driving force that constantly pushed you forward, driving like a race , Let me run to the top of the mountain happily.
On the way down the mountain, I began to wonder if there is another easy way to ride on it? So I started to slowly try other postures, and finally the way of pushing back pressure became the answer to my search.
This is a street car, and it is not playing Kincana. It may sound strange to use back pressure, but it is true that I can get on smoothly again with this method Once at the top of the mountain, although the limit is not as high as the first method, each curve can be passed smoothly. At this time, the high speed is kept at a low speed, and the continuous power output, coupled with the back pressure posture, makes the whole mountain running process extremely easy and full of fun.
Nirvana is indeed not a person who knows how to appreciate, I leave the evaluation of appearance art to everyone. From the driving experience of Brutale 800 RR alone, it is a fun car. You can find multiple experiences and joys in it. Decent performance limits and a variety of adjustable electronic control systems are also suitable for people of different ages and different mentalities.
For players who value appearance, improve their quality of life and pursue performance with their cars, every product of Augusta is worth considering, BruWhat tale 800 RR can bring is that daily street driving is more relaxed and comfortable than other product series of its own.
