2017 MV Agusta 800 Dragster Blackout Review

The document summarizes the MV Agusta 800 Dragster Blackout custom motorcycle built by Valter Moto. It is based on the MV Agusta Brutale 800 platform and features an inline-triple engine producing 125 hp. Valter Moto customized the bike with blacked out components, new handlebars, LED headlights, and other aftermarket parts. A rear-view camera replaces the mirrors, and the exhaust is from MV Agusta's World Superbike race bike. The custom build is displayed as a "techno-cafe racer" drawing from motorcycle racing and car modifications.

2017 MV Agusta 800 Dragster Blackout by Valter Moto

After displaying the Brutale 800 RR Ballistic Trident at the Hot Rod Custom show in
Yokohama, Japan last year, MV Agusta has now unveiled another special, based on the
Brutale 800 Dragster, called Blackout. As its name suggests, Blackout on display at
the Motor Bike Expo in Milan is basically, well, blacked out, with nothing shiny on
display except the brake discs and exhaust.

Based on the MV Agusta Brutale 800, the Dragster carries an inline-triple engine that
puts out 125 hp at 11,600 rpm and 81 Nm of torque at 8,600 rpm compared to the 116
hp and 83 Nm of the base machine. With a dry weight of 167 kg against the 175 kg of
the Brutale, the 800 Dragster has a power-to-weight ratio of 1.34 kg per hp.

Taking the base Dragster, Valter Esposito, founder of Valter Moto, wanted to create a
techno-cafe racer, drawing inspiration from motorcycle racing and car modding. As
supplier to the MV Agusta Reparto Corse race team, Esposito installed new handlebars
and LED headlights controlled by switches mounted on the side of the bike.

Other parts taken from the Valter Moto catalogue include foot-pegs, levers, oil tanks,
fuel filler cap, number plate hanger and turn indicators. A 170-degree rear-view camera
feeds a full-colour HD LCD screen, taking the place of rear view mirrors.

Graphics on the Blackout were done by William Melzi of Tecnoart, and the SC-Project
S1 exhaust is lifted off Leon Carniers MV Agusta F4 WSBK race bike. No word on what
the price of the build is, but looking at the components on the MV Agusta Brutale 800
Blackout, it could, in theory, be possible to build your own.
