[@TheBigChad]

The dragster is the best bike I’ve ever owned. I paid 17k for my 2020. I don’t see me ever getting rid of it

[@onlyfoolriding8223]

OTD? Just grabbed a 19 with 1k miles for $14,789.

[@TheBigChad]

@@onlyfoolriding8223 it was a tad over 17, I think final number was around 17,3XX I live in Florida so there’s a bike shop on every corner just about. Sometimes prices are jacked because of competition and sometimes they’re like 5k under msrp because of competition it’s weird

[@Fee.1]

Amazing bikes. Sadly there’s some design faults and the Warranty experience is dead last.

[@TheDfelan]

I have a 2015 which I doubt I'll ever get rid of as well. I've had no problems.

[@Fee.1]

@@TheDfelan mileage?

[@crisssteiner8682]

I currently own the 2015 Brutale Dragster. I wish I had the RR but I found mine used on Craigslist of all places with only 1007 miles on it and loaded with Carbon Fiber. Everything you said about the bike is absolute truth. The giggle factor when riding these bikes is off the chart.

Glad you got a good deal! Bring it to San Diego and lets review it. 😁

Those dragsters with the spoked wheels are one of the coolest looking bikes I've ever seen. Especially the black and gold.

MV Agusta Dragster 800 RR or the Ducati Streetfighter V4S? Write your comments down below. 🤘

[@everydaymaverick2166]

Much as I love the V4 sound, for me it would be the Agusta. They’re just so damn beautiful.

[@richardp8347]

SF V4S all day every day !

[@helgejohan3604]

Brutale dragster look good 😍ducati Streetfighter. Looks ugly🤮

[@joaopaulopereira8539]

Owen one of them and had the pleasure of riding both. The presented MV RR is a specific model from MY17 (color scheme) and the last of its kind EURO3 complaint. If set a proper aftermarket exhaust (ex: SC or FM) you will get the same power and performance as the F3 running at the SBK ;-) (the engine is the same). Both bikes are amazing, but the MV is more.... brutal. You feel it better, its more thrilling - better on twisty roads. At the end, as someone said, buy the one you like most. However, if you see it from the collectors perspective, MV will be probably the one. In my point of view... MV is a bike to keep in the garage for .. life! Have fun and ride safe!

[@coolworl]

Are those headlights aftermarket? Look like LED headlight.

[@nickc5633]

Just bought exact same model 2017 Solarbeam Yellow. No fuel gauge, no passengers provision, no luggage provision, dear god I love it. Going to change the 200 / 50 rear for a 200 / 55 but that's it. Its a bloody special piece of kit.

Beautiful bike. Love the yellow color scheme. Love the fact that riding posture is not aggressive. Usually I just hate Augusta headlights, but this one is pretty decent. Fat rims with spokes tires, love it overall

[@guyhenry3047]

I thought the stock light was boring, too, so I swapped it out for this Motodemic LED. Actually, also put Rizoma front turn signals on and a tail tidy on back so I could lose the ugly rear fender.

[@Deetroiter]

The exhaust note from a Moto Guzzi drives me nuts…a mean and mellow, sweet bellowing tone that reminds me of a built small block Chevy….but the exhaust note on this Agusta sure caught my attention! What a wicked sound coming out from those pipes! Sounds like a 90s Ferrari!…and shoutout to Guy for trusting his rare motorcycle to be lent out for a review!

[@lucydad100]

I own the same bike. This review is excellent and accurate. Great fit for smaller frame riders. The rear brake needs frequent bleeding and the exhaust valves all fail, but can be repaired. Range is 120 miles, the engine is thirsty. Mine has been extremely reliable. Huge fun bikes, not for new riders!! Quality MV dealers are rare.

[@sarahdell4042]

Valves only on the dragster fail? How many miles do you get till they fail? Seems like a massive flaw……

[@lucydad100]

@@sarahdell4042 this is the exhaust flapper valve just forward of the triple main exhaust pipes: NOT main engine exhaust valves: easily fixed by cutting servo wires

[@cursethesky3874]

Why not for new riders? I disagree. The engine at mid-level torque is a beauty and handles amazing and the throttle acceleration is the smoothest and most gradual ever on a 140hp bike...This is a bike that drives itself.

[@lucydad100]

Ok, more comments from an owner: this bike has an aftermarket front headlight. If anything the stock MV slanted headlight further reduces wind blast above 70 mph. Quality MV dealers and mechanics are very rare, but my bike has been very reliable. Love the light weight and handling. Truly Italian with character galore. Molto bene!

[@Firestorm637]

Power to weight almost similar to liter bike. I own a Super Duke r and a MV Agusta 800rr Dragster Pirelli Edition. The small bike feel with light weight makes all the difference.

[@guyhenry3047]

It's magical. I feel one with it. I know that sounds corny. After riding Will's 959 Ducati, I felt perched so high, and it steered almost too easily like it drifted side to side underneath me. Maybe nice for the track, but too twitchy for the road.

[@ToastToGo]

I love that bike! It's such a beauty... it pretty much is the kind of bike that fits my riding style as well. I've always been in love with the stripped down and shortened naked bikes that is just minimalistic where you can just hop on easily and go take it for a spin. I had a Street Triple and a Monster (both older generations) and I am looking forward to another monster and street triple in my future, just the newer generations. Only bad thing is that they're not great for slinging luggage on and taking out for a long trip. Just you can take a nice short weekend trip though with just a backpack or so. Keep up the great content.

[@PetroHead]

Thanks! I got the F900R because it’s more user friendly. But I’d still love one of these in the stable.

[@english.ricardo]

Awesome video. Really cool.

[@mdv4190]

How was the handling in terms of wheelie control? I don't see the front wheel coming up in your video. Is it rideable without constantly having to worry about the front wheel coming up?

Not an issue.

[@crisssteiner8682]

I believe that in 2016 they went from Brutale Dragster to just the stand alone Dragster

[@theoldfashioned_]

The naming just weird with MV, it's a bit off. i think both is the same bike brutale 800 and dragster 800, it just with a bit here and there twist like the handle bar and tail light but basically it's the same. for example Ducati Daivel also came with Diavel and X Diavel S which is same bike but a not the same if that make sense. But i don't know why they go with Brutale naming with their 1000 cc when it looks more like Dragster, the handle bar and tail light from Brutale 1000 match the Dragster more than Brutale.

Hands down best looking , most attention you get on this , but border line posers bike , gets annoying. Real word ride it’s diff, I’m 6’1 and I feel bike it’s too small for me , also if you Tasted anything bigger you be disappointed, eyes choose this at garage but heart and brain take my Ducati monster 1200 R. Over this any day ,1200R eat it all day on every way , power , comfort , size , ride quality . This a great bike don’t take me wrong but for newcomers to Italian animals , buy what you desire but not a bike for guys coming from 1299 panigale or 1200R monster , this feels like a baby 👶 compare to them .

[@guyhenry3047]

I get it. Not every bike for everyone. Since I'm shorter, I like the compact size, just like my 900 SuperSport. I did get to ride a 959 Panigale Corse, and it was a bit much for street rides, not to mention intimidatingly tall for me. It wanted more and more speed, even when I was doing triple digits. That would eventually get me in trouble. I like the tight twisties, and the short wheel base and handling suits that just fine.

[@onlyfoolriding8223]

I had a Monster 1200. You're right, that thing has torque for fucking DAYS. I got rid of it for 2 reasons: 1) Couldn't really use all the power for every day riding 2) I'm 5'8" - felt too damn big for me. I had both bike suspensions adjusted for my weight, and I much prefer the handling of the MV, probably because it's just so much smaller and lighter. Obviously, the 1200R has top spec suspension over the 1200, so I'm sure it makes a big difference.
