Will be good to see some decent photos of it, looks to me like the photographer was far more obsessed with "look at how clever I am" rather than "see what this new bike looks like". The pictures are awful.

A bit 'too much' perhaps?

I much prefer the cooking version of the Dragster with the F4 wheels.

^^ I was going to mention the wheels. Spokes look odd on that type of bike.

Does look a stunning thing, I love the spoked wheels but the sensible side of me they will be a complete nightmare to keep clean!

I don't like the spoke wheels either, but were the first thing that struck me when looking at the photographs. I'd still say that the Speed Triple R is a far better looking bike too, which I suppose is a natural competitor.

Looks a bit overdone for my tastes. As another poster has noted, the base-spec model is actually more of a looker. I think it's the white wheel, black spokes and the anodised red hub that is catching my attention in a bad way. Otherwise, it's a beautiful bike. MV have a knack at turning out lookers, but it's not a big ask with Tamburini on board.

He used to be. Sadly passed away this year frown

The Dragster is a great bike, hoot to ride and stunning in the metal/plastic. As all MV's are.

st the bed, I didn't know that. Still, he created the design language for MV, if they stick to the basics they should get it right. Tamburini has a hell of a legacy though, surely there is no one designer out there who has as many stunning designs as he has come up with.

Looks awesome bar the spiked wheels.

A set of kellogs spokey dokes would set it off a treat...
