2015
The 2015 MV Agusta Brutale 800 Dragster is a striking iteration in the esteemed Brutale lineage, known for its aggressive styling and potent performance. This naked bike carves its own niche with distinctive design cues and a focus on raw riding experience. Competitors in this segment include machines like the Ducati Monster 821 and Triumph Street Triple RX, all vying for the attention of riders seeking a visceral and stylish naked bike.
At the heart of the Brutale 800 Dragster lies a potent 798.0 ccm (48.69 cubic inches) engine. This inline-triple powerplant produces a substantial 81.0 Nm (8.3 kgf-m or 59.7 ft.lbs) of torque at 8600 RPM, providing immediate and responsive acceleration. The motorcycle is capable of reaching a top speed of 245.0 km/h (152.2 mph), making it a serious performer. Despite its power, the bike maintains a relatively light weight of 167.0 kg (368.2 pounds), contributing to its agility. Fuel capacity is 16.60 litres (4.39 US gallons), which should be sufficient for decent range on a spirited ride.
The riding position on the Brutale 800 Dragster is typical of a performance-oriented naked bike, with an upright stance allowing for good visibility and control. While not a dedicated touring machine, it’s manageable for shorter trips. The seat height is 810 mm (31.9 inches), which may be a consideration for shorter riders. The overall chassis setup emphasizes agility and responsiveness, making it a fun and engaging ride in twisty sections of road. The rearset pegs provide a sporty feel, although some riders might find them less comfortable over longer distances.
The 2015 MV Agusta Brutale 800 Dragster is aimed at riders who prioritize style, performance, and a raw, unfiltered riding experience. It's a motorcycle for those who appreciate Italian design and are willing to accept a slightly less refined experience in exchange for the unique character and head-turning aesthetics it offers. If you're looking for a bike that makes a statement and provides an engaging ride, the Brutale 800 Dragster is definitely worth considering.
✅ Why buy this bike?
