I got the 2023 dragster America about two months ago and I love it! Rides and sounds unlike anything else, although it was the design that got me hooked at first. The SCS (Smart Clutch System) is amazing. You don’t have to worry about the clutch anymore, and is really handy when you are stock on traffic.

Still one of the sexiest bikes on the market, but I believe the original Dragster RR in red and white, with the white spoked wheels, is THE most beautiful example of them all! The white rim with the black spokes on the single sided swingarm makes the rear wheel appear to be totally disconnected from the bike yet following it everywhere. The current RR wheels in their dark colors lose that effect.
@dereklchung3 жыл бұрын
You've pretty much nailed it. The only other difference I would say is that I think the pegs on the Brutale are slighly higher, contributing to that sporty feel. I went for Dragster as I like the looks more and I like the leverage of the wide bars (though they are a pain when filtering). The SCS is fantastic if you ride a lot in traffic.

Yeah, pretty reliable. I swapped it last year for a ‘22 Brutale which is the same engine but being a ‘22, has updated electronics. A couple of hiccups when brand new - A faulty tilt switch on the Dragster and a weird software fault on the Brutale but these were quickly sorted and engine wise, not a squeak. I did 9000 miles on the Dragster and I’ve got 3500 miles on the Brutale

I have owned my 22 Dragster SCS for about two months now and WOW! Its my first MV, I have had an R6, YZF, and Buell Lightning 1200 and this Dragster is by far a more superior bike. The light body and short wheel base really make the bike a part of your body. Where you think, it goes. There is so much torque its mind blowing. More torque than my 1200 cc V-twin buell. The SCS is awesome. Not needing the clutch lever is weird at first but its incredibly convenient at traffic lights and in quick shifts. I absolutely love the Dragster.

It depends on which one is available. These are difficult to find. I am looking primarily at the " Rosso" models. It's a bit more pricey for the Dragster. I like the bar end mirrors on it. I used to like the Triumph bar end mirrors best but these are better. And the Kineo wheels are cool. But I like the Brutale just a bit more. With Ducati making its new Monster look like a MT07 and being built in Thailand, I think that I would not have an issue with the MV. Yet MV Augusta has to seriously expand its dealership base.
@logan83643 жыл бұрын
Yea that’s a common problem with MV, the dealerships are very few and far between. The Rosso models are definitely a good way to see how an MV feels. As for your comments on the monster, very true, it’s either stay true to Italian made or why are we paying such a premium. Hope you end up getting an MV, they are a dream bike; but just to be honest, make sure you have a dealer close enough you’re willing to go to because they can need a bit of warranty work sometimes.

I've got the 2015 B3 Dragster 800 and its far more committed than the new one, bars are lower, not quite as wide, you're much more leaned forward on it, but still, there is no room to move forward/backward in the seat which does detract from the sportiness of it. Remove the standard 200/50 rear tyre and spin on a 200/55 or a 200/60 and the bike is actually more flicky and nimble than the Brutale - That turns the Dragster from a posers bike into a riders bike that can also pose for the camera... I am a Dragster Die hard, but my next bike (addition to the stable, not replacing) will be a Brutale 800 RC... Why not have both?

Euro 4 dragster has best balance of induction roar and exhaust noise in standard form and above 7k on standard exhaust sounds good for rider,i put SC on mine its very load, you can't hear the lovely induction roar anymore under the tank as exhaust drowns it out, wear earplugs guaranteed hearing damage, and I can't see it getting on trackdays maybe I am wrong, the jury's out on SC for me,only bought SC because I came across RC kit on ebay with dedicated ECU which give additional 10bhp and raises Rev limit 500rpm otherwise I would have bought cheaper QD. My Euro 5 superveloce is quieter in standard spec both on induction and exhaust will research exhaust carefully on SV as I don't want the extreme SC of dragster.
