Motorcycle specifications MV-Agusta800 DRAGSTER 2016 Raw face
mV-Agusta 800 Dragster. A name synonymous with pure adrenalin, hammered rubber, Dantesque acceleration and diabolical power. Its size and design make it a muscular machine with a stubby ass, even more inward-looking than its cousin the Brutale. The finish is more flattering, with an engine cowl, stitching on the seat and Brutale 1090-style wheels.
with its name, we were hoping for something pure, with horsepower spewing everywhere and a tire slaughtered in 3 red lights. In reality, the Varese factory hasn't created a crazy machine like the Harley-Davidson V-Rod Destroyer, but rather a wilder version of the 800 Brutale. The Dragster is equipped with the same 3-cylinder 798 cm3 engine, still delivering 125 hp at 11,600 rpm and 8.3 mkg at 8,600 rpm. The difference between the 800 Brutale and the 800 Dragster is not to be found in the power figures. MV hasn't changed the 3-cylinder's maximum power output, but the way it's delivered, with a quicker, more linear response. Enough watts in any case to hold on tight to the handlebars. And that's where the 800 Dragster's cockpit makes all the difference. The handlebar arms are mounted on spindles that can be adjusted to 3 positions.
the on-board electronics are based on the MVICS 2.0 platform, which has been extended to the entire MV-Agusta range. It includes 4 riding modes working with engine management, traction control, ride-by-wire throttle sensitivity, engine braking, torque curve, etc... EAS shifter and Bosch 9MP ABS are also fitted.
The chassis is virtually identical to that of the Brutales, with the exception of a large 200 mm rear tire. Otherwise, the frame is a combination of aluminum plates and tubular steel trellis, with a 43 mm Marzocchi inverted fork, Sachs shock absorber, monobrakes and 320 mm Brembo brakes with 4-piston radial calipers. We can't get enough of Varese's lightweight production figures. The engine block weighs just 52 kilos, and the 800 Drasgter has set its weight at 167 kilos, exactly the same as the Brutale.
let's take a step back. So, yes, the MV-Agusta 800 Dragster is a beautiful, aggressive machine. Its rear end is beautifully designed. Its front end gains in aplomb with a dashboard cowling end, handlebar-end mirrors and mudguard support plates. The passenger will have more room on the footrests than on the seat. But in the end, it's not a new bike at all; it's a Brutale with a (superb) kick in the butt, a slightly sportier temperament and a few cosmetic specificities. It's another version of the style that lets you choose between streetfighter and "Mad-Max-roadster".

Thank you. Rating : 5/5 Respond to Tourist
On 07/08/2015 date of 1st release of my little folly, the purchase of a 800 dragster RR MV Agusta. Since the first kms, I've always complained to my dealer that this bike heats up a lot. I was told that I used to ride Japanese, SM, road bikes, etc... That this bike is fuel-injected, and that fuel-injected engines heat up much more than carburetors? Except that the problem is amplified. If I'm riding fast, no problem, no engine overheating, but as soon as I hit 4 or 5 red lights in town, the leeds overheating indicator goes through the roof and the coolant escapes through the radiator's small decompression hose. When this happens, the coolant is almost completely drained. I ride the Virade de l'Espoir every year, and out of 400 bikes of all makes and models, only mine overheats to such an extent that the rear brake fluid boils and there's no more rear brake. My dealer changed the radiator cooling fan, but it made no difference? The engine is original, the catalytic converter has been replaced by a carbon pre-silencer followed by an MV Agusta titanium 3-flute outlet. Are you aware of this problem, which is still recurring on my bike and is detracting from the pleasure of riding it? If so, what is the definitive solution?
Thank you in advance for your reply
Best regards?

Your motorcycle is designed to breathe.
Now, with the Euro3 standard, the bike consumes 1L/100km, and this liter ends up in your little radiator, even though it's a very good design.
All it takes is for your radiator to have a defect (missed weld, reduced diameter, impact...) to give you hell at the lights.
Your dealer won't tell you all that: you come back often, you're a good sucker... er... customer!
The same machine, freed up, consumes less and heats up less!
