Engineered by Italjet for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2008 Italjet Dragster 180 relies on a 175.8 cc (10.7 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 19.4 HP (14.2 kW) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox. With a specific output of 110.4 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Dragster 180 measures 107 kg (236 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.18 HP/kg (5.52 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 11-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
