Review

The 2018 MV Agusta Dragster 800 RR is a distinctive naked bike that builds upon the legacy of the Brutale series, injecting even more aggressive styling and attitude into the mix. It aims to offer a raw and visceral riding experience, setting it apart from more conventional offerings in the middleweight naked segment. This model competes directly with machines like the Ducati Monster 821 and the Yamaha MT-09, each striving to deliver a unique take on the modern streetfighter.

Powering the Dragster 800 RR is a potent 798.0 ccm three-cylinder engine. This engine produces a maximum torque of 86.0 Nm at 10100 RPM, ensuring strong acceleration throughout the rev range. The bike can achieve a top speed of 245.0 km/h, making it suitable for spirited riding. Despite its robust performance, the Dragster 800 RR maintains a relatively light weight of 168.0 kg, contributing to its agile handling. The fuel tank capacity is 16.60 litres, providing a decent range for longer rides. The rider sits at a seat height of 811 mm which may be a consideration for some riders.

The riding experience on the 2018 Dragster 800 RR is defined by its aggressive styling and upright stance. The short wheelbase and responsive engine make it nimble and eager to change direction. The rider position is fairly neutral, offering a good balance between comfort and control. Keep in mind this machine is not built for long distance touring. The suspension setup provides a firm ride, prioritizing handling and feedback. Because of the focus on sporty performance, rearset pegs give the rider a more aggressive posture.

The MV Agusta Dragster 800 RR is designed for riders who appreciate Italian design and a raw, engaging riding experience. It appeals to those who want a motorcycle that stands out from the crowd with its unique styling and performance. This bike is for the rider who values aesthetics and performance over pure practicality, and who is willing to accept some compromises in comfort for the sake of owning something truly special. It is a machine that prioritizes character and excitement, delivering a memorable ride every time.
