2016 MV Agusta Dragster 800 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2016 MV Agusta Dragster 800 naked motorcycle, MV Agusta 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 125 HP (91.2 kW) at 11,600 rpm while maximum torque reaches 81 Nm (59.7 lb-ft) at 8,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 156.6 HP per liter and a 3,000 rpm working window between peak torque (8,600 rpm) and peak power (11,600 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.

On the scales, the Dragster 800 measures 167 kg (368 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.75 HP/kg (1.34 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,380 mm (54.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 16.6-liter (4.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 245 km/h (152 mph).
