Positioned in MV Agusta's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2021 MV Agusta Dragster 800 RC SCS utilizes a 798 cc (48.7 cu in) oil & air-cooled in-line three, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 140 HP (102.2 kW) at 12,300 rpm while maximum torque reaches 87 Nm (64.2 lb-ft) at 10,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 175.4 HP per liter and a 2,050 rpm working window between peak torque (10,250 rpm) and peak power (12,300 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Dragster 800 RC SCS measures 160 kg (353 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.88 HP/kg (1.14 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 845 mm (33.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,400 mm (55.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 16.5-liter (4.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.9 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 280 km (174 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 244 km/h (152 mph).

Compare engine output with similar motorcycles if acceleration, highway use or two-up riding matters.
Torque
Torque is useful for judging real-world pull, especially for touring, commuting and loaded riding.
Seat Height
Check the seat height against your inseam and riding posture before choosing a motorcycle.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
Suspension
Suspension details can matter for comfort, road feel and long-distance riding.
Transmission
Transmission and final drive affect maintenance, smoothness and everyday usability.
