Motorcycle specifications MV-Agusta800 DRAGSTER RR 2017 Ricochet on slaps

to give the Brutale an even more striking style, its sister Dragster has also devoted itself, body and soul, to the Varese philosophy of uncompromising beauty and desire.
Of course, MV never lets a model sit quietly on a market; it quickly veers towards the more emotional and/or sensational. The 800 Dragster had scarcely finished shaking your retina, and here's an RR version to inject a dose of adrenalin. A hot roadster... And scoundrelish! With extra horsepower and top-notch equipment, this Dragster 800 RR promises to grab its rider by the scruff of the neck.

starting with its galvanized plastic and singular features. What really catches the eye and begins to bewitch are the superb Kineo tangential-spoke wheels with anodized hubs. Terrific! Bleeding hints of color are evident on the sides of the tank, the fork, the hubs and the fins of the headlamp cover.
Now that it's bitten, the Dragster 800 RR can harpoon you with its technical improvements. The front end has been upgraded with a lighter, fully adjustable inverted fork by Marzocchi, while being "held" by the addition of a steering damper.
Prudent and appropriate when you learn that this RR version spits out quite a few extra watts. By working on the airbox, the exhaust system and installing a second set of injectors, the engine-makers are able to get 15 more horsepower and 5 nm more out of the Italian 3-legger. Outch: the 798 cm3 sends out 140 hp on the RR. That's something! Especially since MV-Agusta cavalries are hot-blooded. On the other hand, you'll have to get your watts much higher up the rev range. From 11,600 rpm, maximum power here is 13,100 rpm. The same applies to torque, which peaks at an extra 1,500 rpm, or 10,100 rpm.
And 2017, with the application of new standards?!? The Dragster RR retains its maximum power, even though it has adapted to Euro4: 140 hp at 13,100 rpm and a maximum torque of 8.8 mkg at 10,100 rpm, ensured by the presence of two injectors per cylinder. The 3-cylinder benefits from a whole series of new parts: cylinder head, chain tensioner, camshafts, side cases, valve guides, starter, transmission gears, balance shaft, clutch control, and a revised gearbox.

electronics-armored like all members of the family, the 800 Dragster RR is equipped with MVICS 2.0 management. It includes Ride-By-Wire, 8-level traction control, 4 riding modes working with engine management, traction control, throttle sensitivity, engine braking, torque curve, etc... Three are pre-programmed according to specific profiles (Sport, Normal, Rain) and one is completely user-configurable. A bonus on the RR version is the new Quickshifter EAS 2.0, which allows you to shift up and down without touching the clutch.

whether RR or standard, the 800 Brutale Dragster still relies on its tubular steel trellis frame, linked to attractive aluminum plates, Brembo 4-piston radial brakes on 320 mm discs, a planed rear end, superb exhaust pipes, a large 200 mm rear tire and a striking design. Three details: the RR gains a small kilo in history, a more comfortable seat, and a big inflation on the price. The 17-plate mark is surpassed; one hell of a nice whim this Dragster RR.

Update January 07, 2018:
MV Agusta has recalled 211 models produced between June 26 and September 25, 2017 with serial numbers E9 * 168/2013 * 11047 for a defect on the superb rear spoked rim. These spokes were at risk of loosening due to improper treatment of the bolts, which could cause vibrations and abnormal rear-end behavior. The owners were contacted directly by MV Agusta.
