How's the fueling on the Brutale? MV has taken a lot of criticism for the FI on the smaller Brutale. The 800 looks like an incredible bike on paper, how is it in the flesh?

Not nearly as bad as reviews make it out to be. With such strict EPA rules now, manufacturers normally have two options: Detune the engine out of the gates or tune the engine ultra lean at partial throttle and low rpms. I prefer the latter because they will eventually release map updates to fix all the fueling issues since the bikes already passed through production.
It's a great bike IMO, looks amazing and handles like a dream and is a lot of fun to ride.
