Tech Specs of the MV Agusta Brutale 800 Dragster

Από -
The 2014 MV Agusta Brutale 800 Dragster finally broke cover today, if you haven’t already seen the bevy of photos we published earlier. We won’t belabor the fact that the Dragster borrows heavily from the established Brutale 800 platform, and differs primarily in aesthetic and purpose.
So down to brass tacks it is, the key technical specifications of the 2014 MV Agusta Brutale 800 Dragster are the following:
  • In-line three-cylinder engine, 798 cc
  • Bore 79.0 mm, stroke 54.3 mm
  • Maximum power 125 HP-EC (92 kW) at 11,600 rpm
  • Maximum torque 81 Nm at 8,600 rpm
  • Limiter at 13,000 rpm
  • Dry weight 167 kg
  • Power-weight ratio 1.34 kg/HP
  • Tyres Pirelli DIABLO Rosso II 120/70 – ZR 17 front, 200/50 – ZR 17 rear
Unsurprisingly, the MVICS 2.0 electronics system comes standard on the Dragster, as well as the Bosch 9+ anti-locking brakes system, which is mated to Brembo calipers (radial mounts at the front).
MVICS 2.0 includes not only MV Agusta’s eight-level traction control system, but also the company’s newest electronically assisted shifting (EAS), which does quick-shift operations for both upshifts and downshifts. Ride-by-wire is also a standard element to the package.
The chassis is suspended by Marzocchi forks up front and a Sachs shock in the rear, and both units are fully adjustable, which is a welcomed sight for aggressive street riders.
The fuel tank is 4.39 gal, which should get riders some good range; and with a seat height of 31.91 inches (a fraction taller than the Brutale 800), the Dragster isn’t nearly as short as we thought, but it also isn’t a bike relegated to the tall man alone.
Priced at €13,490 (the same as the Rivale), the Dragster holds nearly a €2,500 euro premium over the EAS equipped Brutale 800, though that model is without the Bosch 9+ ABS brakes.
What that means for the machine when it comes to the United States remains to be seen, however it seems the Dragster is going to be one expensive bike, compared to its namesake.
Would you pay the extra cash to have this fetching motorcycle in your garage, as opposed to say an “ordinary” Brutale 800? That’s the real question here.

                                  Yamaha YZF-R1                                           Loved by every bike enthusiast, feared by other liter class bike manufacturers. That, in a nutshell, is the Yamaha YZF-R1. When launched in 1998, it turned the whole biking industry on its head. It brought a slew of revolutionary racetrack technology, never seen before on a production bike. All this and more, in a beautifully sharp package. Its engine produced 127.8 bhp at the rearwheel. It pulled away so ferociously, that it could give the V8 engined  BOSS HOSS BIKES a run for their money . But while Boss Hoss bikes are big and imposing, this one is more on the beautiful side. It might not be as exclusive as a CONFEDERATE  motorcycle, but it is a legend. ...

Being one of the largest motorcycle manufacturers in the world certainly says something about the success of the motor company’s development model. So, when the representatives at a Harley new model press briefing mention styling first, it should come as no surprise. Reintroducing a model that was first released in 1977 (at Daytona Bike Week, no less) after it has been on a five year hiatus, ...
