Italjet Dragster 700 Twin EXCLUSIVE: Everything You Need to Know!

[@clarkrast1]

Can't wait for the next video to see the performance and to hear the sound of my beautyfull Dragster 🎉

[@Dex-1000]

this is my next bike, just love it

[@widge.103]

Completely different to everything else out there and I think it's a marmite bike people are either going to love it or hate it. Me personally think it looks amazing and would definitely be tempted to have one

[@Stuntman175]

How long until someone decides to go after Aprilia's crown and release a 1000cc maxi scooter? It's only 300cc up from this or 166cc from the Aprilia GP800 from the late 2000's which at 834cc, is the largest displacement scooter ever produced.

@@Stuntman175 it lacked in the styling department and despite the bigger engine only made 5 more HP.

Aprilia Srv850

[@PEACEPISTONS]

@@simonhar123 The SRV featured fully enclosed fairings and a wash of plastic, including around the handlebars, unlike the Dragster’s exposed trellis frame and open bars. While the SRV was a decent-looking machine in its time, it hasn’t aged particularly well, and stylistically, it’s nothing like the Dragster. Admittedly, I’m biased, but I believe that when the Dragster 700 reaches the same age as the SRV, it will have aged far better and still maintain its striking and distinctive look.

@PEACEPISTONS I have a dragster 200 and the Srv850 and have ordered the 6th dragster 700...To be honest the srv850 is a bit big and heavy and I think 500 to 700cc in a scooter is the most you ever need.My srv was one of the first and did not have abs which I think would really help.

Scooters have an un-sprung, enclosed engine and transmission in one unit. This has a swing arm and an external chain final drive, so it's definitely a motorcycle.

[@PEACEPISTONS]

@@sd3457 It is entirely up to you what you perceive it as; however, feedback from customers and the press suggests most people see it as a scooter

[@sd3457]

@@PEACEPISTONS I own a Lambretta GP150 and a Bonneville T100 and I'm always happy to find myself in a place where I'm right and most people are wrong.

[@ivicastanic3605]

That definition of a scooter may have been valid before, but not for a long time. Most large scooters do not have an unsprung engine, like the T-Max for example. But it's still a scooter. Scooters, unlike motorcycles, have most of the mass distributed on the rear axle and this is the main reason for their inferiority in terms of handling compared to a motorcycle.

[@PEACEPISTONS]

@@ivicastanic3605 Playing devil’s advocate here: the Derbi GP1 had a separate swingarm, was chain-driven, and is still considered a scooter. For clarity, I’m not saying it is a scooter, in the video, I made it clear that it’s up to the owners to decide how they see it. That said, I tend to disagree with those who flat-out reject the idea that others might view it as a scooter. It’s an interesting discussion, and there’s room for interpretation on both sides.

[@Maverick-moto]

Any news on whether the Dragster 300 will come to the UK market ?

[@PEACEPISTONS]

@@Maverick-moto Unlikely to have any news until summer of next year

[@jamesfearn4568]

What I bike or scooter I guess you would call it a hybrid?? Well done to italijet for thinking out side the box giving options and expanding their range

[@Yippeedee]

I think people will love this bike if it’s reasonably priced and provides good after sales support. Otherwise, it will be another expensive toy.

[@PEACEPISTONS]

@@Yippeedee it is an expensive toy, we don't do practical or normal at Italjet and we don't want to be the best seller, just the best

[@Yippeedee]

@ anyway I can’t wait to see it in the flesh. It’s definitely sick looking to l say the least

[@pravinshrestha2017]

Pagani of scooter world.

[@Mekaeshi]

I thought it was an Aprilia on first glance

[@PEACEPISTONS]

@@Mekaeshi wash your mouth out 😂

[@Mekaeshi]

@PEACEPISTONS Yes Sir i just did

[@JohnBrookes6128]

Did you mention the £price 😂

[@PEACEPISTONS]

@@JohnBrookes6128 14900 euro, I never mention prices in my video in case they change over time, discounts, inflation etc that way the video stays relevant for longer. Their is also a standard version coming without all the bells and whistles

[@gabungan69]
