It's nice to watch reviews by an enthusiast rather than someone trying to promote themselves or a product for financial gain. Great work - keep them coming.
When we first clicked on this video we were very skeptical(lol old guy on an mv) . But this is hands doen THE BEST review of this bike on youtube. Where others fumble about the “nice colour’ and how ‘so good’ it is, this is an actual review. Stats, thoughts and opinions and no nonsense. Good lighting,high quality camera en no background noise. Well done sir
Hey mate, thanks for the review, I love this bike, its one of the best looking bikes I can say i've ever seen. my question is, at 6'3" 100kg, is this bike too small for me?
The Super Duke is a lot more comfortable than the Dragster for long hauls or day to day riding but the Dragster is my favourite of the two. It's lighter and a bit more nimble through the corners.
The KTM is the better all rounder. It's very civilised and comfortable around town and yet a real weapon through the hills. Yet the MV ticks all my boxes. It's Italian, it's fast, it's good looking and it brings out the inner hoon, loved it! The pillion position however looks well dangerous, lol!
Thanks for the reply Mike, I notice too the the 800 MV is also a tad more expensive at just about $29,000 R/A whereas the KTM is down towards the $24,000/$25,000 mark
$29,000 is for the Dragster 800RC, the RR is between $25 - $26,000 new. There is also a Dragster 800RR Lewis Hamilton limited edition. I hate to think what that costs!
It's made by Quat-D which is usually shortened to just the initials QD. If you search for QD Power Gun exhausts for an MV Agusta Dragster you will find it.
I wouldn't recommend it as a first bike. You really need something a little less demanding. It would be too easy to ride past your skill level on the Dragster as a learner.
The thing looks tiny! I'm 5'10 and I like the Dragster but I think I might look like a Gorilla humping a coconut, I'm grabbing a KTM 1290 Super Duke R as you've ridden both which is bigger in size as you seemed to be just about the limit of size for this bike.
The KTM is the bigger of the two and a better all round bike in my opinion. I love the MV but the comfort of the Duke would win me if I could only have the one bike.

Great to see someone who can present a real review.
what a good thorough review. Always appreciate an older guy throwing out the esoteric jargon.
Thanks Chris, most appreciated.
this is pure art!!!
good to see a local review love your channel.
Thanks, much appreciated
Brilliant Mike. I could listen to you all day. Going to subscribe
Fantastic Review !! Thanks :)
great review, should this be my first bike? or what would you suggest to own first
yes of course, go for it boss
best looking bike on the planet IMHO
Cracking review, thanks from the UK.
Great review Mike. Lets have some more.... new Guzzis maybe?
Nice review. Out of curiosity how tall are you? I'm 5'10 and was wondering how I'd look on the bike size wise.
Just over 6ft
Hey mate, thanks for the review, I love this bike, its one of the best looking bikes I can say i've ever seen. my question is, at 6'3" 100kg, is this bike too small for me?
I'm around 90kg and had no issues but I'd suggest you book a test ride to make sure it's suitable for you.

Thanks for the reply.

Can I ask if you enjoyed this or the 1290 Super Duke better as a sports/naked?
The Super Duke is a lot more comfortable than the Dragster for long hauls or day to day riding but the Dragster is my favourite of the two. It's lighter and a bit more nimble through the corners.
Thanks mate, I appreciate your input.
Would love to see your thoughts on the new Ducati Monster 797 :)
Awesome review very informative
Thanks, much appreciated!
Great video Mike! Which did you like more? the 800RR ot the KTM 1290?
Also... what's the point of pillion pegs on a bike like that? Made me laugh!
The KTM is the better all rounder. It's very civilised and comfortable around town and yet a real weapon through the hills. Yet the MV ticks all my boxes. It's Italian, it's fast, it's good looking and it brings out the inner hoon, loved it!
The pillion position however looks well dangerous, lol!
Thanks for the reply Mike, I notice too the the 800 MV is also a tad more expensive at just about $29,000 R/A whereas the KTM is down towards the $24,000/$25,000 mark
$29,000 is for the Dragster 800RC, the RR is between $25 - $26,000 new. There is also a Dragster 800RR Lewis Hamilton limited edition. I hate to think what that costs!
Ahhhh I see, So price wise they're rather comparable? Personally, I would rather have the KTM but that's just me.
I just bought that exact bike. What exhaust is that?
It's made by Quat-D which is usually shortened to just the initials QD. If you search for QD Power Gun exhausts for an MV Agusta Dragster you will find it.
Very well done.
Is an individual kind of naked or a slim female passenger can feel comfy there?
The pillion seat is barely there. I'd pity anyone having to use it for any length of time unless they were small and very petite!
Mike's Machines thank you!
How tall are you ?
would the 800 be a good bike to start on?
I wouldn't recommend it as a first bike. You really need something a little less demanding. It would be too easy to ride past your skill level on the Dragster as a learner.
ok so something with less power?
Yes, a 400 - 500cc naked would be better suited to gaining experience on before spending big on something like the Dragster.
You can try the 675cc version
Oh nice I didn't even know they had one
is the MV Agusta Dragster 800 RR Available in the USA?
Yes, I believe so. It's listed on some USA dealer web sites.
ok, thanks, I wasnt sure, because all the videos i seen about this motorcycle the people were in other countries speaking foreign languages
how tall are you? give take a look siting position!!
Mismatching tires ? What ?
Cruise control ? .
Bike looks tiny.. or he's huge???
He's big, its not the biggest bike
isn't this a high maintenance bike ? valve adjustment .
This bike was very good looking, but I don't think Agusta does that much anymore.
does it transform into something? a robot? a grass cutter?
Looks beautiful, but is it reliable?
It looks a like an expensive Buell.
168 kilos wet?
Excellent review. I have subscribed.
I can't really give an informed opinion on reliability from just a test ride. The weight is 168kg dry.
Mike's Machines what brand or who make the rims
The spoked wheels are made by Kineo.
Same, I was wondering if Marzocchi made motorcycle shocks. Must be pricey.
Mike's Machines can a pillion sit in it ?
bike looks tiny omg im 6'4 but i want one
Thing about Australia is the speed limit for these 600cc and up motorcycles. Too much restriction.
ARR ARRR 😂👍
The thing looks tiny! I'm 5'10 and I like the Dragster but I think I might look like a Gorilla humping a coconut, I'm grabbing a KTM 1290 Super Duke R as you've ridden both which is bigger in size as you seemed to be just about the limit of size for this bike.

Mike's Machines Thanks!
I've sat on the Dragster but didn't realize it was that tiny!
You know those wheels are going to get dirty real quick!
