2016
2016
The 2016 MV Agusta Dragster 800 RR is a naked sportbike that builds upon the legacy of the Brutale 800, pushing the envelope with aggressive styling and enhanced performance. Think of it as the slightly unhinged sibling. Its chopped tail section, spoke wheels and overall aesthetic create a visually arresting package. In the competitive middleweight naked bike segment, the Dragster 800 RR aims to carve its niche against rivals such as the Ducati Monster 821 and Triumph Street Triple R.
At the heart of the Dragster 800 RR lies a potent 798.0 ccm (48.69 cubic inches) three-cylinder engine. This powerplant generates a maximum power output of 140.0 HP (102.2 kW) at a screaming 13100 RPM. Torque is readily available, peaking at 86.0 Nm (8.8 kgf-m or 63.4 ft.lbs) at 10100 RPM, providing strong acceleration throughout the rev range. The motorcycle boasts a top speed of 245.0 km/h (152.2 mph). Despite its powerful engine, the Dragster 800 RR maintains a relatively light weight of 168.0 kg (370.4 pounds), contributing to its agile handling.
The riding experience on the Dragster 800 RR is characterized by its responsive engine and nimble chassis. The upright stance, combined with a relatively high seat height of 811 mm (31.9 inches), offers good visibility and control. This bike's track-focused ergonomics, while aggressive, are surprisingly manageable for shorter trips. The fuel capacity of 16.60 litres (4.39 US gallons) suggests a focus on shorter, more spirited rides rather than long-distance touring.
The 2016 MV Agusta Dragster 800 RR appeals to riders who prioritize style and performance above all else. It is geared toward experienced motorcyclists who appreciate Italian design and are looking for a unique and engaging riding experience. While it might not be the most practical choice for daily commuting or long journeys, the Dragster 800 RR offers a distinctive and exhilarating alternative for riders seeking a visually stunning and potent naked sportbike.
✅ Why buy this bike?

• The stiff suspension setup, while great for performance, can make the ride uncomfortable on rough roads or longer journeys. • Reliability can be a concern, with some owners reporting issues related to electronics and build quality. • The aggressive riding position, with a forward lean, might not be suitable for riders seeking a comfortable, upright posture. • Fuel economy is not its strong suit; the focus on performance results in a higher fuel consumption compared to competitors. • Limited passenger comfort due to the small seat and lack of grab rails makes it unsuitable for carrying a pillion for extended periods.With 140 HP, requires full Class A license.
