#Dragster

It says something when the biggest talking point about an updated motorcycle is the electronics package, but that’s exactly where we’ll begin as today MV Agusta has announced its updated Brutale and Dragster lineup for 2021.

Last week we posted a First Impressions ride review of MV’s hottest Dragster model, the new RR version. Today, our Euro correspondent, Tor Sagen, delivers a full review of the Dragster 800 RR.

Time has come for the most brutal Brutale, and the only thing it likes to drag is your knee sliders. The Dragster 800 features the same 800cc Triple engine as the Brutale 800 and Rivale 800, and this means 125 horsepower (at the crankshaft) and plenty of fun. Add a fat 200mm rear tire and revised ergonomics, and you have the meanest MV Agusta to date, the Dragster 800.

MV Agusta hosted a media launch for its new Dragster 800 this week in France. Although the weather wasn’t ideal for motorcycle riding, our Euro correspondent, Tor Sagen, brings us the following quickie ride report. Stay tuned for the full review.
