Looks and sounds amazing that doesn't it - and I totally agree about "middle weight" nakeds, it's where it's at for fun on the roads - I'd love to see you buy one of those Chopsy and see what the ownership experience is like......go on, do it!!
Yeah I'm seriously tempted now Andy! Would be a wild ride either way! 👍
Is the MV a more expensive Street Triple RS etc or a proper middle ground between the ST and say the Speed 1200rs? I really want a Speed as an upgrade to me Street. But I just have the nagging doubt of ‘is it going to be fun’ …..
@@philipjames3526 I traded my 2014 Street Triple for this.
Street Triple RS was just too near to my Streety performance wise, and Speed RS was too expensive in insurance and a bit too much.
This is the middle ground. It's very playful and also very capable when you want it to be.
It's not just the looks, it CAN also perform when you want it. Maybe not as accessible to wider audience as Street Triple is, but it can do and be everything Street can.
It's light, revs high, handles great, very playful and pulls like train.
3 years warranty is also encouraging.
I'm fully satisfied with the bike. It's my only bike, but I mostly do Sundays blasts to a lake and back (ca. 300-400km per ride max, often even less) so it's perfect for the job.
I say go for it. 😉
@@Symbrio I’m so conflicted - in fairness, re performance Lamb Chops has done a grand job on stating it’s a step above the 765rs with out the craziness of the bigger hyper nakedness. MV Brutale RR or Speed Triple 1200….
@@philipjames3526 Get the new speed 1200 and enjoy
My Brutale RR has been perfectly reliable. 4 years and 8000 miles. Which is far more than I can say for my KTM. I genuinely can’t see me ever selling my MV….
Chops, I recommend getting into the settings and setting a custom set up, then you can have everything dialled up to max aggression (power, quickshifter etc) except you can have the throttle response softer.
If it’s the same as the older set up, try the following, takes extreme throttle sensitivity out of the equation but still allows the downshifter/blipper to work.
Gas Sensitivity: Normal
Engine Brake: Sport
Maximum Torque: Sport
Engine Response: Slow
RPM limiter: Sport
Removes snatchyness and makes it a joy. That removes your criticism of the Brutale you rode a couple of years ago. It’s tough though, on a normal length test you don’t really have the time or chance to try these things out.
Personally prefer the look of the Brutale over the Dragster.
Agree that it’s ‘more’ than a middleweight. Makes a street triple feel flat.
Good tips thanks 👍
omg 4 years 8000 miles. My Dragster 11 months 10500 miles ;)
It says something that you love the bike despite below par brakes and suspension. 140 hp sporty naked is definitely a sweet spot.
I've been waiting for this one Chops.....what a machine and such a looker as well. Awesome review again buddy and I think that it deserves to be in your garage too 👍😊
Great review. Thank you. I picked up one of these recently with the SCS. Glad I paid extra for it. My other bike is Z H2. I've only ridden the Z once since getting the Dragster and it is now up for sale. The MV has everything you need for street riding!
Very nice Derek! I'm really not surprised bloody awesome isn't is 👍
Perfect example of how we overlook imperfections when we're in love, surely what biking is all about. Loved MVs in all their quirky forms since seeing (and hearing!) Agostini on the works bikes 50 odd years ago - even when being beaten by a BSA 😉
Yes absolutely, allmost think it's adds some extra something because of them! 👍
I've been looking forward to this one. A really nicely edited video👌 the new Dragster.. so much fun to ride! Great to see you've enjoyed it so much.
Thanks Damien 👍
Ah thanks Chopsy for part two,glad you really like it & it rides better than your previous MV experience,sounds epic & glad you have it some beans,i still hope to own one if these in future & your fab review has just cemented that,thanks alot & happy riding👍
"Gave" it some beans!!
Stunning bike. They look so good in the flesh. Nice to see some more dealers coming forward. If they get a demo I would be fascinated to see a review of the Tourismo Veloce. Looks like a fascinating take on a middleweight dual sport bike.
Chopsy bringing us another “GOLD”review 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Beautiful bike mate and looks like a lot of fun to 👍🏻
Hi Chops -the new Euro 5 MV's now have 9,000 mile service intervals
Not the Dragster apparently..
I own a 2019 MV AGusta Dragster 800rr Pirelli edition. 140 horsepower and 410 pounds wet. The sound and uniqueness is intoxicating. I also own a super Duke. Wanted a smaller lighter bike. Bought the MV over the Ducati Streetfighter. The triple makes torque and horsepower like a V4 but with more character. Moving art.
One of your best vids, chops. Do it! You know you deserve it! Many thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
Haha thanks matey 👍 😄
Wow what a beautiful machine! Thanks for the great reviews on it. 😎🍻
Its a pity so many people are put off MV Agusta motorbikes because of perceived reliability issues.Mine has never missed a beat and the Chopsy vid shows they are a gem.I think MV are second only to Honda in terms of sporting achievement so they know how to build a glorious engine.At slow speeds around town just put it in rain mode to avoid a bit of twitch on the throttle and then switch to sport when you are ready to open up the taps.
I love my Brutale 800, you are 100% correct that it couldn't be an only bike but when I do get on her I'm gauranteed a grin from ear to ear & that is what road bikes should be all about. Totally agree about the front anchors as well, my VFR1200 has better brakes!
Beautiful sounding engine Chopsy , thanks for giving it the beans.
A nice honest review there Chopsy,I was riding every corner on that route seemed rather familiar!
The MV 800 triple is the best engine I have ever ridden. A true gem.
I can’t believe how great that lump sounds and your right what a great induction noise. It really looks like a great Sunday carve up bike. Might have to take one out sometime. But would you pick one over a Super Duke R ? Great meeting you up Bury Hill last week👍🏻
Loving this, I’ve had my euro 4 2020 F3 800 a few months now and done a trackday and I came from a Panigale v2, I’m in love with the MV, I really am. It’s been years in honesty since I’ve found excuses to just use the bike for any little trip, but the MV is that bike. Reliability obv a worry but I had 4 warranty claims in 18 months on my Ducati, it was honestly silly, and the Ducati warranty was 2 years
I really is surprising how a machine can excite like the MV Agusta!! I've owned and driven all kinds of cars, exotic ones included and nothing has come even near to being on the same planet as that bike is in excitement! Even my old model Brutale (2013 model with 2015 electronic updates so identical to 2015 except paint), after years of ownership, did something I didn't think was possible: I just kept being more and more excited with it!? How does that happen? Never before have I had the naturally waning excitement of a new purchase instead be an ever increasing excitement?!
I guess it's because of how much feel you get from riding that bike, and its immediacy and purity of its handling meaning you just learn more and more with it. Then the never-ending awe that engine produces, it never disappointing at all.
Sure, as Lambchop said the brakes aren't perfect:in the previous video)breaker. Even the slightly shuddering and annoying engine being too excited to ride smoothly at low speeds on city streets, especially cobblestones are hilarious to ride on, but even with that I just like how it simply gives the bike more character, makes the ride more exciting.
theorising at home about what to buy next, and can't do anything about my need to go out and ride with all that excitement again...
Spot on review,,I have one and LOVE IT,,,one of my favorite bikes in my stable,so easy to ride,,,,
I have a naked MV on my bucket list, although currently on a used MT10 as affordable and love it to bits. Cheers Chopsy and Mavis.
Wow just wow, what a mega bike 👌
Thanks for sharing the video 🙏
You should definitely buy one, if for no other reason at least for the content. As someone that’s been interested in the Dragster I can tell you there is very little information about this bike online. Thanks for the vid!
Pin pointe accurate review. Love my 2020 dragster, will change for RC dragster next time the colours are fab.
Beautiful looking bike. Great review, cheers.
Great review! Love this and the first ride video. Did you notice a lot of vibration through the bars?
I’ve got a 2015 Chopsie , just toying with getting rid of her. I think she is going to be part xed for the new one. Great review welcome to the Art club. Snatchy throttle all part of the allure
Great review, and accurate. I own a 2018 Dragster RR: by this model year, MV had fixed the low end fueling issues. Still love my bike, and yes I also own a Moto Guzzi V7 III Special. The MV is just utterly fun. Issues these bikes have: rear brake loses pressure due to brake fluid tank below ABS unit under tail, exhaust flapper servo fails also. The bikes do need maintenance by a qualified tech. Yes, 120 mile range on the bike. MV dealers in the USA are rare. I am thinking about trading for the newer SCS version as my hands are small, and I have some arthritis (been riding since 1967). Well done.
A great review, well its peace of mind really coz I recently sold a mint TVR Tuscan S to get one of these with SCS and the RC race kit. Fancied the RC but prefer the Kineo wire wheels, take delivery next month n can't wait, been too long away from 2 wheels.
Love it!!!! You gotta do it...You know it makes sense!!!!!
Great review Chopsy! Enjoyable viewing as always. 👍🏻
Looks like you enjoy it as much as I do my 2021 MV Brutale 800 RR SCS! That 800 triple with counter rotating crank is simply a masterpiece. Perfect ownership experience so far and with 3yr warranty AND 2yr breakdown you’re covered.
I’d highly recommend going for the Brutale instead of the Dragster - more agile, better naked riding position and save ££££’s (and better looking IMO).
Two must haves from my experience:
+SCS clutch - it’s incredible, you have to try it and you get launch control :)
+SC Project Ti exhaust - think it sounds good stock… doesn’t begin to compare with one of these fitted.
Got a big deal on mine from MV main dealer, PM for deets. Go on you know you want too!!
Keep the great content coming 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Sounds great Harry! Yes would love to hear the SC Project equipped one 😍😍
@@LambChopRides He has a great point: so many people would probably be interested to hear about the SCS clutch! It's a real rarity in the motorcycling world! Even us previous MV Agusta owners would really like to hear real-world experiences and there are few reviewers I'd really trust, it would be great to hear it from you!
Hey Harry, lucky you for owning your brutale 800 rr SCS 2021 that my dream bike ! 😍 I hope one day I can afford it ! So far you seem to be very happy with it so it can only motivate to buy one, it's look incredible and sound amazing with the sc project exhaust ! I can't ride one right now because I have A2 licence but in a year I will sure try one to experience this motorcycle ! Because riding a bike it's all about how it's make you feel ! Enjoy your Brutale 😀
how do the seating positions on brutale and dragster compare?
MV it is art, never thought I would hear you say thinking of selling the H2
Looking at the fork travel I would say it’s a hydraulic issue not a spring or pre load issue as it looks like it needs more not less preload
Nice review. Very saucy. Sounds like a super car sample from Gran Tourismo. It is a tempting proposition. I may track down a local MV dealer & have a look out of interest as I've never taken them seriously for the reasons you mentioned. Just not up to scratch previously but maybe things have changed for the better seemingly.
My Honda 954rr with 140 horsepower/117 at rear wheel 2003 model had a dry weight 370 lbs.and that bike would haul it! Accelerated incredibley fast❗️
Go on get one Mr Chops. Would love to see you modify one and make it your own.👍
Michael Hughes new MVs are very reliable .Have seen many with 30,000+ miles with no problems . Just dont any bike that was sitting for 4 years or a track day bike thats been beaten on every weekend . But that goes for any brand motorcycle .
Well, Chops, that looks like a lot of fun.
MV makes beautiful bikes. If I had one I would probably end up just sitting and looking at it all day (on the assumption that it was broken down!)
🤦♂️🙄
I have the 2020 800 rr scs, mv tre pistoni is a wonderful Sunday machine, I saw your front in video, set a bit harder the suspension release and your bike became a bit harder but very stable when u open throttle
Totally using my dragster Rosso for my 20 minutes daily commuting, rain or shine, except when it's snowing;)
Snatchy throttle resolved by putting in rain mode for town riding 👌. Great review....I have a 2016 model ♥️
How many miles? Any issues?
Agree, but engine brake increase in rain mode. I prefer normal mode, which something in between rain and sport.
Thank you Chopsy for breaking down the kilometers into miles for us Yanks across the Atlantic.
Not a problem 😁
We use miles in the UK not that metric KM stuff
I use it every day for go to work and etc... :) Everyday starts and finish perfect, because I ride an awesome bike!
What a glorious soundtrack on that thing. I want to ride next to one just so I can listen to it. :)
Owned one a 2016 Dragster RR...a beautiful bike from stock even more beautiful if u put in the aftermarket accessories..change the race air filter & the exhaust (mine is HP Corse) , u will be surprised..the harder to ride it the smoother it goes
and change the rear tyre to 200/55 it became more exciting in corners..i believe the stock is 200/50
Hi Chopsy
From a big Aussie fan… you are the best motorcycle reviewer…🤜🤛💥
Thanks Tony 👍 😊
Great looking bike and sounds amazing.
Another great review Chops. Congrats on hitting 80K subscribers, onward and upward to 100K!
Thanks buddy, yes 80k getting there now!
I own a 2015 Dragster RR with +30000km on it now. Still have a big grin on my face every time I ride it 😁
After 2015 the quality improved a lot, these EU5 Triples should last a long time.
Great review as always,
Also why I love my S1000XR,
Comfort for my 6'3", 115kg atletic figure on my 25k kms/y commute, then lower the windshield and take down the paniers for comparable fun on the weekends
9'3"? Really? Don't think there is a raisable screen to fit you.
@@stevecade857 6'3", huge typo,
Txs
Being "metric" didn't help either
It was amusing trying to imagine a 9'3" gent on an XR though.
Great vid! Although you know you love the Tuono
Fantastic review Chops. Always loved the look and sound of these MV's. But hold your horses mate. I have heard a rumour that Ducati are bringing a V2 streetfighter out next year based on the V2 Panigale. That would make a brilliant naked. Anyway take care and keep em coming.
Who cares about VW Group stuff? Only people who fall for multinational corporation marketing crap will even consider such drivel. Nothing is as uncool as VW products.
@@pistonburner6448 Are you on something chap. You have definitely got issues.
@@fyorbane Sounds like you have issues, for some reason babbling about Volkswagens. But hey, not everyone can have sufficient levels of testosterone.
@@pistonburner6448 First of all sunshine I have not even mentioned VW. Where have you got that from. You are one mixed up dude.
The RR has the red valve cover. The non RR has the black valve cover. Ferrari of bikes. So unique with all its beautiful touches. Love just looking at it.
Beautiful bike, always thougt that MV`s nail it on styling. I believe that they are more reliable than the older models, not perfect.
Gotta love a bit of snatch sometimes though, it definitely adds character.
Hey Lamb Chop Rides, I liked the video and your feedbacks.
I'm actually thinking of buying one of these one day... But I'm afraid about the reliability (like you mentioned). During the time you rided it, did you spot any sensible point that can stop someone from buying it ?
Thank you in advance !
Maybe I've been watching too many of your videos but I 100% agree, love my R1250R but I got a one pony stable. I mostly commute and miss that lighting sport bike acceleration but afraid for my license with a supenaked. So this bike in particular caught my attention recently got the looks and oh they got rid of that old school lcd display
Oh and it absolutely is a commuter 😆 🤣 I think
Hi chops just got myself a dragster 800rr rc & what you say is spot on not the best bike but there is just something about it get one I’ll let you know how reliable it is as I give it the beans😆
As you can see from my thumbnail I own a 2015 RR …… what a fun bike it is & with the after market exhaust it is unbelievable….BUY IT
Great video👍
Where about do you ride? Can’t quite work out weather it’s local to me as looks very familiar
Chops summer is just getting started I am sure it’s only going to get better with the bikes you have in line to ride to ride , how’s the Ducati build coming along
Moving Art! KINEO WHEELS. Aluminum rims, no tubes. The bike you keep looking at. Also as much fun just looking at it in your garage like a Lambo.
I've had a few town bikes.
Married one once too.
Seemed like a good idea at the time.
very good video, I'm getting exactly the same dragster in February and I'm wondering if the mirrors will hit the ground when leaning hard. Do you think there is enough space?
Just went into the naked/supernaked segment. Very happy with the naked style of bike.
Very interesting to see a brutalle 800rr in comparison with dragster. I think that she might be more comfortable for town use, she is cheaper and she is still looking like a motorcycle art
Chops mate could you let me no where you got lower wings for the h2 , cost and shipping time . Love the content mate 👍
Best sounding triple YIKES that thing is SONOROUS
Agree with middle weights being a lot of fun on the street, when your get on in age and get over needing to show off with big litre bikes. Still the street triple RS i think is where the best middle weight bike is at.
Yes agree Kiwi, nobody needs a litre bike on the road really 👍
Moto Guzzi and MV sure know how to make an exhaust note!
Let me know how much you want for ya h2 then please chopsie 😂🤣
Was waiting for the petrol light to come on 😂
Great review 👍💯
All the best Mr chops
Haha I'm not 100% certain I'm selling it 🤣
@@LambChopRides between the s1000rr and this naked itch, and the fact that the h2 is a handful and despite it being a unique ownership experience, you've barely ridden it, makes me think the h2 will soon be gone. It is special though, I must agree. Truly special. Perhaps a bit too special haha
You know, after owning a 765rs and getting used to the m50 madness, I could never settle for anything but the best brakes. Great brakes are calming 😂 but good to hear MV getting their act together. Those bikes are too pretty and too expensive to be a lousy ownership experience
I couldn't ride that thing without thrashing it just to hear that exhaust sing. My shiver 750 gets revved a lot. I would have to live closer to the twisties to own the dragster or I'd be doing insane speeds in suburbia too much.
Yes, Yes, get one.
Simply awesome 👍
I’m going to pick my Dragster RR tomorrow 😁
Lucky boy! 👍
Great review LCR, looks like a hoot! I’m really interested in those mirrors for my SDR. Anyone know what they are?
MV bikes are a work of art.
Could DB killers in the end can be removed to improve the sound ?
I put a Remus can on a Diavil a few years ago, the sound went from great to stunning, until I got on the autobahn when north of 115mph the air box took over and wailed like a demon, I wonder if it was a deign built in to make the devil bike like it’s namesake.
Colin
It’s Such a Beautiful Bike. And it sounds like a GP bike in disguise.
how do you compare to the new speed triple? which one would you get in term of handling and everyday road use??
Couldn't agree with you more Chopsy!!
Good one Chops
Would love to see you test the MV Agusta RUSH
How do you rate this vs the GSX-S1000 coming out? I would imagine in the end the performance and feel will be similar but with the usual Suzuki cheaper price tag and reliability?
Good video Lamb Chop still mot a fan of MV
Morning chops, big question is if you get one would you be pimping it up 😛🤔 does it need it, is there scope. Great review 👏
Yes good point Kevin, really nothing to pimp here appart from an exhaust! That's would be a shame for me as love to tinker
I’ve had my MV Dragster RR-SCS for about a month now and 1600 miles. The biggest complaint I have is with the rock hard suspension. The TFT dash is not without its faults, you can only pair one phone and the navigation and font size whilst riding is laughable. If your 10 deep in the contacts menu, you have to back all the way out to exit the menu 🤷♂️. That said, banging through the gears at 11K, oh boy what a rush!
The MV, is awesome looking and sounds great.
Probably not your mug of rosie, but, BMW R1250R, naked, TFT, electronic suspension, rider modes, Brembo brakes, quick shifter/blipper, etc, etc, aanndd........135bhp, 135nm torque!
I've got the 1200R sport (125bhp/125nm torque), really torquey motor, great in the twisties, handles well, goes well and comfy too!
Very much an unsung hero in my opinion.
Would be interesting to hear your opinions on one?!
Grumps.
I have one and it is a beast when it comes to road speeds, since other bikes are not yet in their optimal rev range. So yes, you can smoke sport bikes with it, if you are experienced. On the other hand I am no longer satisfied with the electronic suspension, as there is simply no way of adjusting it properly. It always feels like there is not enough rebound in the rear, which makes it kind of wobbly when you don't want it. This causes me to feel disconnected to the bike sometimes, and goes as far as not trusting it.
There were days, where I could get to 40-46 degrees of lean angle. On other days it would skid while leaning without giving it too much throttle, which was kind of terrifying. I have to say that I'm running on Continental Road Attack 3 without the 'GT' emblem. That improved the handling greatly. But the suspension and weight are still an issue. It probably helps you being a better rider, though :D
I'm planning to keep it for road rides, as it is a great long distance bike. But for corner carving, I'm currently looking at the Aprilia RSV4 and the Tuono Factory.
Selling the H2 Mr Chops? Surely not..! Great vid as usual thank you.
Yeah maybe... just don't use it much
Now it's got daft power, it's a more serious bike that H2, probably not as enjoyable as it once was...a bit on the scary side..
Cheers for this mate. I’m trying to get a decent trade for my Ducati racer against this very bike. Looks amazing
Hi there Chops!
Next spring I’ll be in the market for a middle weight naked & I’m really thinking about the MV Dragster SCS. However, you recently had a review of the new Street-fighter V2, so my question to you is, which one would you recommend & why? Also, if it was you buying a middle weight naked, which brand & bike would you buy & why? It doesn’t have to be the ones on my radar. Your input is appreciated because I don’t get to test ride them. Here in the US where I live we don’t get to take a new MV for a test ride & the Ducati V2 is not on display, but only for order. Thanks!
I think you gushed more about this bike than you did on the Kawasaki :-)
I think you've answered your own question
Chops I would like to see a series o videos of you owning the bike and doing all kinds of upgrades to it. That would be very interesting and it's a rare bike
Totally agree with you there be interesting to see the mods 👍🏻🍺🇬🇧
eyup mr chops somebody said to me years ago they like a bike they can rev he got a honda nc 30 from a fireblade he loved it but yes a nice bike and no fuel gauge just like the aprilias
Yep Sold …. I’ve just bought one , Love it just Mental Art that Sounds like a Devil Partying !
Would you compare your happiness factor and overall riding joy of this bike to the street triple RS as a baseline?
What would u go for a dragster RR or a ktm 1290 2021... will use it mainly on small B-roads and controlled wheelies !
I’ve only ever ridden a bicycle with training wheels. Would this be good as my first motorcycle? Any advice would be appreciated.
