The MV Agusta Rivale , which was designed by Adrian Morton , was first shown at the EICMA Milan Motorcycle Show in 2012 , going into production in 2014 . The styling was a cross between a Supermoto style machine and a naked ( unfaired ) sport bike . The engine and chassis are derived from that used in the Brutale 800 . The machine 's name was inspired by the Riva Rivale luxury yacht . MV 's CEO , Giovanni Castiglioni , saw one of the yachts in a harbour on the French Riviera and liked the name . He contacted the manufacturers of the yacht , Riva , and arranged for the use of the name
