2021 Yamaha MT-03 Review Features and Specifications

Image
Although the Yamaha MT-03 existed as a single-cylinder model prior to 2016, it was nothing like the twin-cylinder version debuting that year. Utilizing the same engine and chassis as the new YZF-R3 , the naked bike version offered the perfect entry-level attributes as its sportbike brother, but in an even more accessible package. The 2022 version was the first year for the MT-03 to be sold in North America, and it saw updates to the styling (with LED headlight with dual LED running lights similar to the MT-09 and MT-10) and suspension (inverted KYB fork replacing the conventional unit, and a seven-step preload adjustable rear shock, both with firmer settings). Now for the 2022 model year, the Yamaha MT-03 comes with a new aggressive look and three color option: Cyan Strom, Team Yamaha Blue, and Matte Stealth Black, with the hopes of offering new riders with an intriguing offer that won’t bust the bank. Available at Yamaha dealers, the 2022 Yamaha MT-03 will retail for $4,799 MSRP. ...

The BMW S1000R is a naked bike that is heavily derived from the Bavarian manufacturer’s S1000RR superbike in engine, chassis, and technology. It shows, because during our first ride review it proved it’s a versatile motorcycle suitable for both road and track action. The S1000R sees big changes in 2022, beginning with its 999cc inline-four powerplant’s basic components and structure derived from the S1000RR superbike . The new engine meets Euro 5 emission standards, while being a claimed 11 pounds lighter than its predecessor. Internal ratios of fourth, fifth, and sixth gears are longer, aimed at reducing engine vibration and improving fuel consumption. To complement the engine, electronic rider aids have been updated and the S1000RR adopts BMW’s 6.5-inch TFT Display. LED lighting is also standard. The S1000R doesn’t aim for the torque-rich hooliganism of the KTM 1290 Super Duke R and Yamaha MT-10; nor does it share the Ducati Streetfighter V4 and MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR’s screami...

The Italian Motorcycle MV Agusta Dragster 800 RR

Image
The naked-sport-bike Dragster 800 RR from MV Agusta has been refreshed for 2022 with updated chassis, engine and electronics. It looks menacing from any angle.  In 2022, there are 2 colorways available, which are: Matte Magnum Silver with Matte Metallic Dark Grey, and Matte Magnum Avio with Matte Metallic Dark Grey. 2022 Dragster 800 RR price is $20,400. The MV Agusta Dragster RR shares 99% of the same DNA as the MV Agusta’s Brutale line, but there are some noticeable differences. For starters, the Brutale is more of a naked bike, while the Dragster is decidedly more street fighter. Both are exceptional motorcycles, but the Dragster carries more attitude. It’s a sharp, responsive, and powerful motorcycle designed for precision hooning. The heart of Dragster 800 RR is a 798cc three-cylinder engine with new sintered valve guides and diamond-like carbon coated tappets for reduced friction, new bearings for the crankshaft, piston rods and countershaft, a modified exhaust collector, a...

The Italian Motorcycle MV Agusta Rush 1000

Image
MV Agusta Rush 1000 was introduced as a concept motorcycle at EICMA 2019. The concept motorcycle that gave birth to the Rush was based on the Brutale 1000 RR. MV Agusta called the motorcycle a “hyper naked,” as it offers more performance than the typical naked motorcycle, more exclusive styling, and supremely refined execution.  The 2022 Rush 1000 is still based on the Brutale 1000 RR, but you’ll see differences right away. A beautiful metallic gray tank with carbon fiber inserts and yellow highlights suggests a charging bison. The huge 17 inch rear wheel with its formidable carbon fiber shield also makes a powerful design statement. Pirelli’s special-edition Diablo Supercorsa radials rimmed in yellow provide a finishing touch. The 2022 MV Agusta Rush 1000 has A staggering price of $40,000 USD or $35,000 Euro.  Twice the price of the Ducati Streetfighter V4S? I don't think so, It has nothing over the Ducati and the same horsepower.  Maybe not for everyone, but then MV A...

The Italian Motorcycle MV Agusta Brutale 800 Rosso

Image
MV Agusta’s Brutale is probably the most acclaimed modern-age naked sports bike. The Brutale concept was born in 2000 from the inspired imagination of MV Agusta star designer Massimo Tamburini. The intuition of Tamburini was that he imagined a naked bike right from the start, designed to do without fairings or unnecessary details, and not as the result of the reverse, stripping-down process of a regular bike. It was conceived and built to be naked, with its beastly aggressive and ruthless looks that make it immediately recognisable. The Brutale 800 Rosso comes standard with a de-tuned version of MV Agusta’s 798cc inline-three cylinder engine that is shared with many other of their models in the mid-displacement lineup. This engine gives the Brutale 800 Rosso a healthy 110 horsepower that can get you up to a maximum speed of 237 km/h.
