What year was this bike manufactured? Also is it 200 overall including all the different colours? I am looking at buying one and the VIN has L as 10th digit = 2020. Suprised they were out in 2019.
Hi, you in the UK? I am looking to sell mine.
I believe they were made in 2019 but many were unsold until later. Mine is a 2020 so it has all the updates and is very reliable.
There are 200 in this yellow and 200 in that blue version.
Let me know if you have any other questions. Superb fun bike.
Ade
Simply stunning Ade. still watching the video..
Ha. Appreciate your support - often 1st with a comment.
The bike is VERY interesting. You would never get bored with this bike.
Ade
First impressions of my own MV Agusta Dragster RR - I am Brutale honest! - like what I did there? :)
Ok, hands up, made me laugh, hehe
Ahhhh. Congrats dude. What a bike!
Ho Ho. very good. :-p
Man, who needs a liter plus and 200 PS. What a bike. Sounded like a superbike anyway on that flyby bit.
Yeah, I was surprised how it sounded on the flyby. The bike is sounding batter and better each time I ride it.
Ade
Enjoyed the content and enthusiasm Ade, thank-you. Not seen ‘the missus’. Perhaps is in a vlog I missed. She sounds rather anxious about your antics. Perhaps very sensible? I do like your new bike. Hard to resist opening the throttle and I imagine needs a great deal of self control. Which you clearly possess?
Ha, well, I dont know about control. Keep having accidents. I was not kidding. I cannot mention my motorcycle or this channel in front of her. To be fair, she was the one who had to look after me when I have a bad crash 4 years ago and the Police came to her door asking if she knew me then rushed her to St Georges trauma centre thinking I was dead. :(
Still, one needs something to make one feel alive. For now, I love it and this hobby of mine.
Ade
Which Bike Hi Ade, I didn’t realise you had a serious accident, sorry to hear. I saw the spill on the track day when you were air-bagged up. Takes a lot of guts to continue after accidents. Look after yourself and I’ll continue to follow the action
My favourite version of the dragster BY FAR. Sweet ride.
Me too - though I was originally looking at the America version then saw one of these available. I was then hooked.
Ade
Bike sounds mint. Imaginewhat it is like with an Akrapovic or other can.
It is sounding better as the miles go on.
I dont thnk Akra do a can for this bike. I am getting an SC Project,
Ade
A piece of art. You are a lucky man.
I am indeed. May not be the best bike but it sure it pertttty.
Ade
Love the videos mate. Love the bike. Great channel mate as well keep it up I’m doing the same here in Australia
Cool. Will take a look. Cheers. Keep safe.
Ade
Wowee. Hold me back. This video might me 20K bucks. LOL. Stunner.
Yeah, go for it. you only live twice :)
Ade
That should be in the tate gallery as its a piece of art
Ha, you are right, Maybe when I have finished with it, they can hang it up.
Margot Robbie nude and this bike next to her... close call. :)
Ade
@@RevMonkey margot Robbie in her harley quin outfit mmm
I can see why they are expensive for what they are. All in the details baby.
Yep. It is a pleasure wandering my eyes over it. Wheels are a nightmare to clean though.#Ade
What road where you on for this video?
I start off at Newlands Corner near Guildford then am on that road all the way to Rykas in Dorking. One long road almost. A trip I do often. Same route when that cop pulled me over in that video.
Ade
Thank you for the info very helpful 👌🏼🤘🏻
You need to adjust the suspension. You can change the settings on the front and back though not by a lot.
Yeah, I just have no experience or the slightest clue how to do it 'properly'. As it happens I am taking it to 100% Supension when I am at Brands Hatch circuit next week.
Ade
What is like in the city, like in first couple of gears in stop start traffic?
The clutch is a bit hard on the fingers , well for me anyway. Other than that, surprisingly good fueling and lack of the jerkiness I was expecting.
Ade
Any mechanical issues with the bike so far? Beautiful. Thanks
No! None at all. I was worried of course but I was assured these newer models are proving reliable. Some little problems will arise I suspect but it won't stop be riding it with gusto. :)
Ade
How are you finding the steering damper. okay for normal use?
At really hard acceleration in second or third gear it can shake its head a bit. Tad scary but its okay. The ohlins damper is the obvious Mod but not yet sure it is worth the extra outlay. I would really need to go on with it to tell the difference.
Ade
Bike sounds incredible mate. No need for an exhaust IMHO.
You know... I have been thinking that myself. It does sound a bit pants when you start it up though. It needs menace to match its looks. After all, it has does have an icon of the devil on it! :)
Ade
You had me at the spoked wheels. XXX
They are amazing arent they! Made by a company called Kineo apparently and cost a lot if you bought them aftermarket.
Ade
Sounds like it going to just for fun short rides mate, which i do understand. Perfect 2md or 3rd bike really.
Yeah, I realised that as soon as I had gone 30 miles on my 180 mile ride home with the new bike! :)
Ade
Nice looking bike but whats with the 5 year old screen. Mad really for the cost of this.
My thoughts exactly. It works fine of course and really, really means naff all but yeah, nice to have a color TFT these days.
Ade
The guy turning right on the blue Bandit; did you see his double take, when he spotted your bike? 😂
Blimey, good spot. Ha.
Ade
I see there are three folk involved in the channel but only ever really see you doing anything Ade.
Bikke does the track stuff with me. D is a tad busy at present but we will get together again. I have the 3rd episode of the show ready since last year but not gotten round to adding it. Need a couple more team members really.
Ade
I think this is prettier than the new 1000RR. Just missing 50 extra wild stallions.
I agree. I have been out on the 1000 - video coming next week.
Ade
Great vid. I thought you were going to get rid of it after all the negatives! No touring on that for you then lol
Just trying to be honest Danny. You have to go into this with your eyes open. It is a very special bike but on subjective scoring it doesn't really live up to the rivals - but beats them with how it makes you feel.
Ade
I was convinced you were gonna get the SuperDuke R mate. More power, newer and cheaper :p
It was close! Well, not really. I was pretty keen to get the SDR but I never got a return by KTM on my enquiry. Once I started looking at videos of this model and livery on YOuTube I was basically hooked.
Ade
I looked at buying one yesterday, one owner with the sc exhaust and map to match but not 100% sure yet as always had sportsbikes rather than upright bikes and not sure to trade my 959 panigale in for one?
I had a panigale. Very different bikes,. of course.
The Dragster RR is more fun and easier to ride, and quite a bit safer in my opinion. Sitting up gives extra visibility. Both bikes looks the nuts.
The engine, SC can and delivery is amazing and they feel a similar speed. The gearchange on the MV is stunning.
|Really... I'd have both!
My one here is actually for sale but you;d have to be quick as it is about to go into Auction at Collecting Cars and you will be competing with a lot of very rich people!
Ade
@@RevMonkey i just bought one yesterday from a local dealer with sc project exhaust and remap to match plus fitted with tons of official extra mv parts. I traded my 959 in and got an amazing deal.
Panigale is nice but difficult to ride it unless your on fast roads.
Even the mv pirelli plaque is still sealed in its original box and only a couple of numbers different from your model number 😁
@@RevMonkey cant believe it only got bidded to 10.3k!
Would get more on ebay
@@egghed1000 Yeah, shocking.. such an amazing bike. been offered 11k. Holding out. I do NOT want to sell it but have to to appease my missus.😒
Is there a version of brutale with ohlins?
Great question. No - well, not in the 800 series of Brutale/Dragster.
Ade
Brutale 1000RR, It's Electronic Ohlins
What bikes do your team mates own?
Deimante has a modified Harley Davidson Sportster 883. Bikke has not got his own bike but we share the Fireblade SP2 50/50.
He has lots of track friends and they mostly have R1Ms or Blades.
Ade
I really wanted one of these but then i was concerned about reliability for daily rider.
Im looking at an MT10 sp now but for the same price i can get the mv dragster. The dragster just looks amazing
It is a tough decision. My dilemma was possibly worse as I was looking at the Streetfighter, Tuono, Z H2 and Super Duke R too.
I didnt consider the MT-10 SP as I had an MT-09 SP and I didnt feel it was a jump up enough for road riding. The 09 is more fun at normal speeds actually.
With just these two to consider. I will be honest.
The Yamaha is terrific value and that saving is a bargain as dynamically, with the SP suspension, the Mt-10 might actually be the better bike. it is also more comfortable, cheaper to run too.
However, put these two bikes side by side and there is no choice at all IF you can reach the premium price. You have to own a bike like this once in your lifetime.
I can say this. It is 10 times better looking, twice the fun, you;ll get 5 times the attention and you will feel like a god riding it :)
It also 'feels' faster up to about 80 MPH. It is super light and the gearing and inertia is amazing.
Feel free to ask any other questions. I have done 1100 miles now from new, no dramas. The reliability of the 2018+ bikes is a lot better with the foibles sorted out. There is also a strong 3 year warranty as they wish to back this up.
If you are near Surrey, UK, then you can come and have a look at mine.
Ade
When you wrote, you have to own one of these in your lifetime. Thats how i feel, My minds made up ill get the MV. While the MT10 is a special bike i think i have to 100% be happy with the way it looks. I only feel that way about the MV. Thanks for the reply
@@maffdiva Great news! I do recommend Powerslide Motorcycles in Stoke. I travelled hours up there just for their service. Tell them 'Ade from WhichBike sent me and hoped you could do some deals!' :)
Might work. Ha.
I have to add in fairness. I have been out on all of my shortlist and the bikes in order of how 'good' they are is still:
1. Super Duke R
2. Streetfighter
3. Tuono Factory
4. Z H2
5. MV Dragster
BUT..... but....but
In terms of how much 'fun' they are and in 'feel good factor' it changes to:
1. MV Dragster
2. Super Duke R
3. Z H2/Tuono Factory
4. Streetfighter.
I'd put the SDR as the best bike for a combo BUT it has nothing on the MV for looks and specialness.
Let me know how you get on with your MV journey!
Ade
MV gives you 3 years of Warranty, buy with no worries. Any MV's from 2017 and on are completely gone through and as reliable as a Triumph.
Since when we're u at newlands
I go there every week I reckon. I like doing the Woking to Guildford to Newlands to Dorking run. Sometime I will throw in Loomies as well :)
I'll be at Newlands tomorrow I imagine, resting my back and neck from the rigours of riding an MV :)
Ade
@@RevMonkey I'm on a benelli BN 125 (Black and red) check my insta @Rogue_transmission can stay in touch
It aint that uncomfy. I have ridden a couple of them and they are not that bad dude. Maybe is just needs adjusting where possible.
I think I may have the tires to firm and i have not touched the suspension. So that likely makes a difference.
Ade
I still have all that tat somewhere. Dont have a Dragster anymore though. Beautiful but flawed and the backup? FFS.
Ha yeah, certainly is tat. Not got it back out yet. Maybe only to get all gooey :) So far so good. I have an MV service centre 30 minutes away and a 4 tear warranty so I am not too scared about anything going wrong.
Obviously I have not tested the service yet so I can;t judge on that. I am certainly not expecting Honda levels of robustness and service but hopefully i can live with it!
It will take a lot to break the specialness of the bike.
What year did you have? What changes did you make? Did you get the Ohlins damper? Lastly, sorry :), what suspension changes did you make? It is damn firm and does not inspire confidence at fast speeds on shit roads. This is where i miss Ohlins 2.0 SA suspension!
Ade
I am in love <3
Ha. Me too.
Ade
Beautiful bike. Wish I could decide myself on which bike? I love quick shifters btw. I am looking for a bike that is great fun. Don’t care about touring or off road.
Yeah, fun is the #1 for me always, unless I am specifically looking for a bike to excel at something, like the Africa Twin DCT for touring.
If you can to 16k then i would 100% recommened the new Super Duke R.
Best bike I have been on in terms of speed, composure and fun.
If you want something stunning then MV is at the top, no matter which model it is, then Ducati, then maybe Triumph.
Bargain wise, my Yamaha MT-09 SP was brilliant for less than 10k including Akra.
Ade
Which Bike Awesome. Thanks so much for your reply.
@@dry509 No worries. I have been on just about every bike so feel free to ask questions,. It helps others too. what other bikes are you considering. What is your ideal budget thinking ahead?
Ade
Which Bike Well I am pretty open..I don’t care what type of bike it is..just looking for great fun. Ideally 10-15 grand but would like to keep it under but can go over. I am in the US so prices vary. Test rides on any Japanese bike and some Europeans are difficult to get here which makes it difficult. Can demo Harley and Bmw products freely.
@@dry509 Ohh, don't get a Harley if you want fun :)
S1000RR second hand should come in below $10k. Good bike if you get from a BMW dealer who has looked after it through its life AND has the tech extras.
It’s essentially a better looking MT-09
A LOT better looking :)
Well, it is certainly nearer the MT-09 than the Triumph Street Triple which is very smooth. Yeah, didn;t think about it but there are similarities. I had an MT-09 SP - it had better suspension (ohlins) than this MV. Fast too.
A lot more money but it is better in some areas. Even MT-10 SP is cheaper.
Ade
Which Bike I just recently picked up a 2018 Mt-10 with 1,100 miles on it for $8,900. I got a very good deal and I’m in love with it. So much power to get around.
@@justdoitwithchase8590 Yeah, that is a great price for such a powerful bike. More comfy than the MV and faster top end for sure. All the MT range is excellent. Can; go wrong. Seem reliable too.
Ade
Hahahahahaha....I'd say you bought the Right bike for the Wrong reason and now the bike's punishing you for it, but then again it could just be the wife's voodoo!
Ha, you are not wrong. Or maybe not. My thoughts on this bike with more and more miles are changing per ride as it settles in. It was brand new.
My next review, at 1000 miles, will be very interesting!
I;ve been on the Streetfighter and Super Duke R since and I can deifntely say they are 'better' bikes but, damn, this bike just oozes character.
Ade
Okay, but is it beautiful??? ;P
ha, yeah.. I was sort of repeating myself. :)
And yes. Just gave it it's first wash and kept admiring it!
Ade
You never got out of 1st gear !!!
Ha, certainly did. It's not a long first gear.
Ade
Sub from me. Looking forward to more my friend.
Thanks, appreciate it.
Ade
A clunky quickshift is not a good thing
Yeah, I struggled to find the right word.. Ha. It is not clunky in the negative way but in that there is a secure solid movement, not wishy washy.
One the very best quickshifters I have come across and one of the few things that the MV has over rivals.
Ade
@@RevMonkey haha fair enough cheers for clarifying.
Its a beautiful bike by the way
This bike needs a "may contain scenes of a sexual nature' diclaimer. Hehe.
Ha, brilliant. I will use that in my next video of this actually. I'll do a 1000 mile review.
Ade
Bike for small people, You want a Mans bike ? Ducati StreetFighter V-4S-220-HP . Did you watch the MV fall apart in Moto2 yesterday? I would never trust a Motorcycle Company that has “Motorcycle Art” as its slogan. Art hangs on a wall and gets looked at. That FireBlade you rode last week is 1000x better bike than this. My MV Dealer is Shady AF, bikes are too expensive for not having any wins in Moto-GP
I went out on the V4S last week. Sounds superb stock, very comfy, fast in the high revs. Loved it. It did miss character and it wasn't that much 'fun' . I though the SDR was better when i rode it - just looks not all that really and it needed an Akra.
You'll find all these reviews really honest. Too early to diss the MV. Incredible fun, sounds the best of the lot pushing on and yet still art. 950 miles. It may well go wrong but I understand the risks. I would not get an MV as an only bike!
Ade
Z
So apart from looking absolutely amazing the bike is shite? Lol.
Just polish it and stare at it.
Nono, the bike is fun and for me , for this style of bike (i.e. not a track bike or a touring bike) that is #1. Mechanically and dynamically though it is not on a par with the Super Duke R, Tuono, Z H2 or streetfighter. I have ridden them all now bar the Z H2 which i am riding in the week.
It's still a bike, all bikes are these days. Just comes down to what it important for the person in that bike.
As it happens though, I have not put on just short of 1000 miles and the bike is dramatically improving which may be typical of the brand, more so than others perhaps. So my short term review might be more positive.
Ade
This over a 1290-SDR- HELL NO !!! The KTM is 100,000 x Better than this!!! MV will fall apart and be a headache to own. I see used bikes with oil leaks under 1000 miles.
I rode the SDR yesterday. Review going up next week. Awesome bike. I really really liked it and would have been delighted to own it.
At 4K cheaper than the Streetfighter V4S it looks to be the bargain of the bunch.
As you will see on my video coming up. I do confirm, and have always maintained, that ALL the other bikes on my shortlist are 'better' bikes.
It's not always about that though. Over the next videos I will hopefully make you realise that the MV has special qualities!
Ade
No offense but you are talking out of your ass...lol
Bike for posers. Period.
Hands up... That;s ,me! :)
Ha
Ade
Says the broke ass that can't afford a Honda let alone an MV Agusta...lol Douche :)
Yawn 🥱😴
