Italjet Dragster scooter has looks from the future, but performance stuck in the past.

[@jimhedley7459]

It’s a thing of beauty , I’m hoping the 500 makes it into production 🏍👍

[@1990-t1j]

A 300 and a 500 are soon to come out.

[@MegaRaven1968]

As an owner I can only say it’s amazing bike thx good review 👍🏼

[@dukie1616]

Nice👏 Always enjoy his reviews. Don’t be such a stranger.

I had the 180cc 2 stroke in 1999 and it went like a rocket with a pmf exhaust pipe. Loved it. Unfortunately it got stolen 4 times which I retrieved 3 times but not the last theft. I used to hear it occasionally being ragged around the exhaust note barp barp barp… The one that got away. Shame….

[@rzu7120]

No expense was spared, except on the engine.

[@1969Escobar]

Beautiful super scooter

[@ReaperOfSouls83]

I will buy it!!! 😍😍

[@mark675]

Someone needs to fit an older 180cc 2 stroke engine to it 😁

[@SLAYER-nm5zw]

I have a gilera runner with that engine 😌

[@mark675]

@@SLAYER-nm5zw nice! its a great engine, i had the original Dragster with the 180 engine :)

Coll little scooter👍🏻

[@TerribleTimes]

wanted an Italjet for years sadly not available in Canada :(

[@davelaymon6282]

You can't import one ?

[@1990-t1j]

I bet my Yamaha Aerox 155 would see this Italjet off at the lights, which is all you need in a city scooter. I have to admit the Dragster looks better, though.

[@mark675]

No offense but I don't think scooters are made for 20 stone guys? Might of been more of a realistic performance test with someone around 12 stone?

[@thevoicewithin930]

Some of the metal finishes and fasteners succumb to the elements really quickly at the coast, depending on conditions and level of user care. At a price like that, one would expect the use of manufacturing materials less reminiscent of a Chinese scooter. You'd never ever know, when it's flirting with you on the showroom floor, but leave it in the rain a few times in the first year or 2 of ownership, and see.

[@cpuuk]

That will be stolen 5 minutes after its parked.

[@honeyglazeham9621]

I hope the 500GP is much much faster.

[@ozemsadventureofrandomstuf252]

Cool scooter but I agree for R130k I can get two lovely preowned or new bikes..il get a used super bike plus have change for scooter new..hero has a 125FI for R27k I mean I’m not trying to do 140kmh on scooter

[@FrankFurther]

It's like getting a dictionary with a sparkley cover. No point in any of that when it's so damn slow

[@johnlaw5762]

I think this scooter might be the definition of “over engineering” 😂

[@London780]

It looks good but you would of thought they put a 15 bhp engine in it instead of 12 bhp as every bit of power counts when its only a 125

[@thinkof100]

A few weeks of eating salads might help with that lag.

[@20628089]

First time ever watching your great channel, during which I caught myself thinking, "What a load of kak."

[@johnlaw5762]

04:14 “adding a further R250,000” 😂 Anyway, great design and might make sense in a congested European town somewhere where style matter more than substance but to me, underneath all the bells and whistles, it’s still just a scooter…sold at a price that can get you something 2nd hand (or possibly even new) which has both style and sunstance

[@wtf943]

"just a scooter" 🤡

[@johnlaw5762]

@@wtf943 give us a bit more than a quote and emoji…no idea wherher I need to take offence or not 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@clicli9591]

I don't agree with your comments on performance. As an owner of a dragster it's much better than anyother in it's range. All that said it also is an igon for style that you can't find aswere.

[@F-tt3xv]

Performance stuck in the past? When shall people realize a 125-200cc four stoke never have and never will have any direct power. It is a myth that the old 125-180cc two stroke scooters had extreme power as well. They had the same top speed but slightly better accelration at the cost of fuel economy. These kind of scooters have a top speed in reality of 100-110 km/h, thats it…….

[@ilovelimpfries]

A very very expensive scooter. You can get a brand new 600cc bike for that price.

[@opopopo12331]

if the front suspension is effective, why they didn't do it in the 500.

[@davidbodan4781]

It's not a scooter. It's a good looking motorized bicycle. Scooters have weather protection, comfort and storage.

[@orical2832]

Slow of the mark - but ironically called a 'Dragster'....

[@Szlejer]

Probably also leaves a beautiful trail of lost screws... If it happens to work long enough.

[@kpanagos]

Amazing machine, but as an aprilia and KTM owner, i believe that everything will fall apart...

[@bertusvanzyl1107]

I used to look forward to this show on tv, but sadly its become irrelevant. Its more a continuous advert for Fire it Up..

[@Greggspies]

It will be a twat to keep clean

[@paullacey2999]

Nice as it is,thats a lot of coin for a niche scooter from a boom and bust manufacturer....

[@normanmunns4743]

Needs to be a two stroke The original 2000 model was a 180 cc two stroke and went like the clippers. This 4 stroke is not very quick

[@CasualRiders]

I'm a be honest...... I think this scoot looks fugly....

[@Fatcatztravel1250]

Way too expensive. Jet200i Sym far better at fraction of the price. Will be very expensive to service. Looks cool. But thats it.

[@hazimreitz]

Not worth it, it's only 125cc... My old supercub could do what this one can but more reliably. I'm sorry for people that bought this 125 variant of it.

[@TheAaronfarrington]

Can we all just agree to stop buying scooters. It should stop them making them. Supernakeds all day.

[@lexievv]

honestly, to me it looks like they ran short on plastics and decided to just release it and call it "style". Not really my cup of tea.

[@Wat34900]

I have the 200 with full akrapovic system and full malossi cvt set up and it fuckin flies especially off the line im killing xmax 400s. Not to mention i weigh 80 kg….

[@Ronin560]

So it can be tune up. I was considering buy because now i have derbi gp1 250 and it is gorgeous but missing some power. Still didnt install my costa variator👀

[@davelaymon6282]

Just buy the italjet dragster 300cc😊

[@cliveswabs9365]

Is it true Scomadi engines are shite?
