I've had many bikes in my life, then few years ago I went for a mv agusta and indeed it's something special. Now I'm at my 3rd mv and I got the 1000cc, and it's just mental.
'18 800rr passionate owner 6 times rear brake overhaul currently again with a broken rear brake, rust on several parts, hardly any dedicated dealers around and several sporadic engine failure lights on the cheap factory display, still it's every time a great pleasure to drive. Even without rear brake. You gotta love it to maintain it. Buy a Yamaha if you're not looking for temperament and want to ride reliably. gr. RB
It's currently mid winter (London), covid lockdown bloody everywhere. I traded in my KTM 790 Duke for a 2017 Dragster 800RR (Solarbeam yellow & black) around September 2020. Needless to say I fell in love immediately.
Guys please we love your content, but can you please invest in some GoPro Hero 8's with hypersmooth (removes shakes) or some other cameras with stabilization options please. I fell in love with your content since your 1st time in Iginition TV so please.
I bought one of these bikes after a boy hood fascination. Then after owning one of these bikes I would never buy another MV. MV takes poor back up and crap after sales service combined with the worlds most uncomfortable suspension to a level I never thought possible. I now have a Kawasaki and I am soo much happier I ride it everyday and it never gives me shit and when I (one day) will need a part for it, guess what Kawasaki wont give me some shit about a two year waiting list.
@Len Page Yeah agreed, I have had a few Italian bikes but I'm soo done with the shit they produce, its flashy and bling out of Italy but their bikes fall short in the areas that count.
Don thanks for that. Still in love with this bike. Love your take on it and totally agree with what you're saying here. Lusting over it, even while knowing it's already in your garage. Awesome! Triple clap for you! Cheers!
Beautiful bike with no real dealer network to speak of in the US. I live in Dallas, Texas and there is no longer an MV dealership within 300 miles. Too bad - I’d love to buy one.
Can you suggest similar bikes? The original dragster RR absolutely blew my mind I fell in love over video. Like what other bikes have such a symphony of sounds in a ~800cc or below beast. Ducati’s maybe?
Got a mv agusta dealer up the street from my dealership/job, gonna have to go check them out lol I’m tryna get a 2007 MV Agusta Brutale 910 with the F4 engine 😈
Less fluff next time. It would be nice if you explained the exact changes made in 2020 and how quick shift works and if there is a downside to using it often, and the benefit of the SC exhaust if optioned. More data, less blather. Just an opinion.
Why do people think bar end mirrors look cool? They don’t, they look like wide donkey ears. They make the handlebars look 8 feet wide. It is another case of people thinking different is automatically better. Sometimes it is, sometimes it looks dumb. Rest of the bike looks great. I like the seat unit on the brutale better though. And the 3 tipped exhaust was amazing looking and this exhaust looks ok at best. Wish MV could figure out how to provide reliability and some value and larger production. They have the stying that beats all other brands.
Also, they have this weird protrusion on the tank where you put your thighs that makes holding the tank with them quite unpleasant. I know I could not bear riding this bike even if I really loved it just because of that.
Cant comment on the 2020 one but I had a Brutale 675, 2014 model. Honestly it wasnt that bad. No catastrophic failures, but not 100% bulletproof either. The only major faults were due to the dealer mistakes (seals not installed correctly post service, shifter not tightened, both sorted free of charge). One recurring fault was the sensor on the aftermarket clutch lever that used to fail when it got wet and dirty (living in the tropics, thats a given). Never had the dreaded sprag clutch failure, but thats something to keep an eye on. Do I miss her, yes. Don sums up the feeling of riding one completely. Hoping to be able to get another MV in the future, along side my Hyper 1100
Dragster has a wider rear tire, 200 vs 180, shorter tail/different tail section, clip ons and wire wheels for the rr. The f3 is the supersport, the brutale is a tweaked f3 with supermoto-like ergos and the dragster is even more street oriented and really puts an emphasis on MV’s tagline, motorcycle art
It looks cool, and sounds awesome. & I suppose it’s fairly “exclusive”. But that’s about all really... they’re way too over priced and not as refined as some competitors. I mean imagine a Z900 with over 100k worth of extras on it!?!?!?
Close to 30 thousand dollars for a 800 cc bike with a reputation for unreliable and close to none dealer network or support??? Thanks but no thanks, I’ll pass. This is 2020 800 cc bikes with top notch reliability are going for under 15000 everywhere. I don’t care one bit for the brand beauty and exclusivity.
Entry line brembo mc, nissin brake pump, 1990+ lcd calculator look instrument panel , straight line oriented 190/50 rear tire, way too long gear lever travel, no torque below 8k revs, not usable above 170 km/h. 4,5,6 rears no needed. Thank you, no. Not for me.

I always love how you guys describe the pleasure of riding the motorcycle.

I like the triple exhaust of the older one better although the single pipe is probably lighter
It still comes with three pipes from the factory, the single exhaust on the bike in the video is a aftermarket exhaust from SC Project.

You can buy one for him too...
I want one! The sound is incredible.
As an owner of two Dragster 800 RR (2015 and 2019), I cannot agree more! 😎
You lucky duck! What do you think about the f4?
One of the best inserts ive seen from you guys keep it up.Really cool bike
Love your passion Don! Keep up the awesome work
New 2010+ MV AGUSTAS are just phenominal bikes. Speed ,power, nimble and now reliable
Is that screw loose at 01:08 ? The bottom right one.
Good spot, I believe MV don't have the best build quality
Jinesh Soman - Sure is. 👀
Haha well spotted...
Damn... How did you spot that? You watching TH-cam with binoculars?
Great show guys. Keep it up. And what a great machine that MV.
I love Mv augusta🔥Dragster

TRUE. KAWASAKI IS MUCH BETTER IN EVERY WAY.
@Len Page Yeah agreed, I have had a few Italian bikes but I'm soo done with the shit they produce, its flashy and bling out of Italy but their bikes fall short in the areas that count.
Speaking as the very proud owner of a 2017 one, I couldn't agree more, cheers lads.
Don thanks for that. Still in love with this bike. Love your take on it and totally agree with what you're saying here. Lusting over it, even while knowing it's already in your garage. Awesome! Triple clap for you! Cheers!
Stunning looking bike.

Don, your humour is excellent! Great review!!
Let's just talk about those passenger foot pegs, they are alone a masterpiece
*The Bike Show* Perfect as always. Love you
The folding footpegs are brilliant! Next they should make fold away clip ons for easier parking!
Love this show! Thanks a lot guys!
Great video, felt like we are riding it. Thank you very much. Keep it on!!
My 05 650 BANDIT is a total joy!!, FEROCIOUS ACCELERATION, A TOTAL JOY!!!!!.
1:09 is that a lose screw in the right handlebar?
No it's standard on a MV Agusta.
Dude... I love MV's stock exahust, but this SC-P S1 sounds soooooo Good, and looks sooooo mean. This is what wet dreams are made of.
Can you suggest similar bikes? The original dragster RR absolutely blew my mind I fell in love over video. Like what other bikes have such a symphony of sounds in a ~800cc or below beast. Ducati’s maybe?
Triumph street triple has a similar 3 cylinder engine and sound, but I’d take the Mv any day of the week
MV's are easily the most beautiful motorcycles ever made. Even if they are the so uncomfortable 😂
Lmao so true if only it were comfortable like kawasaki's
The brutale is super uncomfortable but the dragster is really nice. I have done long trips on mine and no complaints
At about 6:36 minutes in...: Where is there any Counter-steering ? Doesn't anyone Counter-steer these days ?
the price is uncomfortable for the account bank
The Chad No way is that bike comfortable
I own all brands japanese and Euro Superbikes and the MVs stand out as my favorites for there performance .
Excellent video.
The TFT dash is not necessary, the rest of the bike is just pure beauty 👌🏻
👍
Got a mv agusta dealer up the street from my dealership/job, gonna have to go check them out lol I’m tryna get a 2007 MV Agusta Brutale 910 with the F4 engine 😈
-- You mean, like Zoe then? ...
-- Shut up
I am obsessed with this motorcycle 😍
I'm still getting used to my Agusta Dragster 800RR, it's a fun machine. you have a nice aftermarket exhaust though
Less fluff next time. It would be nice if you explained the exact changes made in 2020 and how quick shift works and if there is a downside to using it often, and the benefit of the SC exhaust if optioned. More data, less blather. Just an opinion.
If Don isnt the best bike reviewer he must be in the top one.

They have the stying that beats all other brands.
Will you mind to do the same video with the latest model?
Let’s play rank the middleweight triples. MV Dragster, Triumph Street Triple, Yamaha XSR900
Agreed 100%! And for 1000s Mv Agusta f4, bmw s1000rr, zx10rr
Don: no women is out of your league.
My dream bike hope so one day I’ll have it
Donovan is the Best.
How tall is Don? I probably missed it during the review. Just wondered how cramped it is from an ergonomics point of view
No TFT in 2020 ??? Please
Well done Don
Do you have EIS turned off? The cam looks very shaky.
Don't know bout you guys, but I find husqvarna vitpilen 701 is equal in looks and ride feel...what do you think?
And the back shock is sex. LOL
Guys please respond to your comments, a lot of love here ..
I prefer the looks of the original in white. Still great, though!
I wonder what a set of those wheels cost?
around 3 gs
kiss you - I think more. For spoked wheels they are on another level.
I know his ass hurt after this. MVs are beautiful until you sit on their... “seats”.
Also, they have this weird protrusion on the tank where you put your thighs that makes holding the tank with them quite unpleasant. I know I could not bear riding this bike even if I really loved it just because of that.
@5putput Were you on a Brutale or a Dragster?
9:37 - 9:45 that's why I just bought one :)
I think I love Zoe.
You're a sexy beast, Don. Roarrrrr!!!!! 🐅
👨👩👧 ❤ 📺 The Bike Show🇿🇦
whats the reliability like on them these days?
Cant comment on the 2020 one but I had a Brutale 675, 2014 model. Honestly it wasnt that bad. No catastrophic failures, but not 100% bulletproof either.

Who after valimai motion poster 😍
Must be a nightmare to keep those wheels in good nick. A bit above my budget anyway ;)
The tail light reminds me of a chiken's behind. But it really looks good though.
OMG. Is it a racetrack or countryroad
Amazing bike, but the dash on a r125 is better...unacceptable really for such an expensive bike
168 kg mv vs z h2 super heavy, this is the fact
Its feels wider and bigger then the smal MT 09
Can someone enlighten me about the difference between the Dragster and the Brutale?
Dragster has a wider rear tire, 200 vs 180, shorter tail/different tail section, clip ons and wire wheels for the rr. The f3 is the supersport, the brutale is a tweaked f3 with supermoto-like ergos and the dragster is even more street oriented and really puts an emphasis on MV’s tagline, motorcycle art
@@pmwaffle9348 Thank you!
Why is it quieter
I don‘t understand why that mashiene have Full LED lights...! :(
It looks cool, and sounds awesome. & I suppose it’s fairly “exclusive”.
But that’s about all really... they’re way too over priced and not as refined as some competitors.
I mean imagine a Z900 with over 100k worth of extras on it!?!?!?
Lost the triple exhaust failing like fuck 😔
That Display is a shame at 2020
Beautiful, but those sticking out mirrors... :)
Not the bike for short people
Just the saddle...
Its a lovely bike but the current one is more expensive than the new z h2 in Australia. So I know what I'd get.
Still only an 800
The Brutale 1000rr has over 200hp and looks sexy af
It makes 145 hp.....
This vs zh2 🤪
Valimai thala Ajith Kumar da 🔥
Don ran out of adjectives
still not led lol
Over priced plenty other bikes half the price same performance maybe less gadgets but just as good
Donovan has a girlfriend... Donovan has a girlfriend... (Zoe, not the dragster) :D
In his dreams!
Talk about the real problems
Gladius headlight? Ew
That guy is way to big to ride that bike
1 st
