MV Agusta Dragster 800 RR Custom by Roland Sands Design

Based on a 2015 MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 800RR, this commissioned build was transformed into a classic MV inspired modern cafe racer by Roland Sands Design, and was shown at the One Moto Show in Portland.

As with all RSD's performance builds, maintaining a fully functional machine, and improving that performance are paramount in their process. With this MV Dragster, their goal was to bring a classic aesthetic to the platform while maintaining the MV's racer spirit.

The Dragster received major revisions on the ergonomics.

- The top triple clamp and standard upright handlebars were replaced with a set of clip on's

- The factory foot controls were swapped for RSD components and positioned them higher for ample road clearance

- A one-off subframe was hand fabricated with Chromoly-tapered tubing

- A hand made aluminum gas tank was built in the spirit of championed MV racers of the past, and the typical twist off gas cap with a modern, quick fill style endurance racing fuel filler

- A modern minimalist café style light and handbuilt aluminum shroud replaced the front light

- The radiator shrouds were also fabricated out of aluminum and then re-popped in carbon

- A custom set of RSD forged racing wheels were machined from blank billet aluminum using the standard MV hub design

- The wheels, trellis frame and custom subframe were then covered in a Cerakote “Blue Titanium H-185” finish by Specialized Coatings

- Using MV's hub design allowed RSD to take advantage of the beautiful architecture of the stock single-sided swingarm showcasing the intricate design details of the wheel while giving the bike an un-obscured splash of color.

- Brembo nickel GP racing calipers front and back coupled with RSD radial masters on the controls.

- A custom grippier suede Café seat was made by Bitchin Rich

- GP suspension rebuilt the forks and coated them in a slick black finish replacing the stock red fork tubes

- The custom Aquamarine RSD wheels are wrapped in sticky Dunlop Sportmax Q4's.

- Zard fabricated the unique custom header and exhaust in full titanium, giving it a decent bump in power from its claimed 140 horsepower, and more importantly, an earth-shattering exhaust note for that 798cc triple.

- Chris Woods was responsible for the challenging paint work and the team at Airtrix dealt with the detailing colour matching used on the stripes
