    What do you think of the NEW Dragster - would you buy one?
    Let us know in the comments.

      I bought a dragster200 in March last year, and the current position is 7200 miles. I replaced a part when it was damaged, which caused the engine to overheat (the coolant could not circulate), and now there is a small amount of oil leakage in the cylinder head. Overall, I am very satisfied

    I got #159E and my friend got#160E I agree I expected more from the engine. I did 9 countries around Europe clocking 3600 miles. Changed the oil 3 times and averaged 97mpg! I’ve fitted a side stand. It turned heads all over Northern Europe love it.

    Not surprised the engine feels a bit tame with only 17bhp! The old 2-stroke Dragster 180 had more power, less weight and was easier to tune. Italjet also used to do a 4-stroke 250 with 21bhp. And with such a sporty look, the 125 version should have the full 15bhp allowed rather than only 12. I would've like more explanation of the hub centre steering - it actually looks quite a lot different from that of the original Dragsters - sounds as if it works better too.

    I've recently got the 200 myself. I opted for the Akro exhaust system and the Malossi Delta clutch and variator kit. Feel nice and snappy, definitely 70+. I'm around 6 foot tall and find it comfortable, as you mentioned, if you're on the tall side then definitely go try one on, body proportions can make a lot of difference. Later down the line I'll be adding the Malossi 205 kit (For giggles) but overall, I love my 200 Dragster :D

    All bark and no bite. I remember the mad strokers from years ago now they had character! Think the scooter boys used to put big bore kits and expansion chambers on them and even fit them to old Lambrettas

      You can fit 2 stroke pipes on these. Pm tuning have fitted one. Put a malossi variator kit and adjustable clutch and they go pretty well.

    I'm looking forward to the forthcoming 300cc version. It should have a lot more go. If the 200cc one was a genuine 200 and not 181cc, it would be zippier. Let's hope the 300cc version isn't a glorified 265 or something. If it goes well, I may get a 300. It could do with 14'' wheels, though. My Aerox 155 has them.

    Rubbish, it does not have the possibility of taking another person, nor does it carry under the seat and its price is too expensive and it also spends a lot of gasoline for such a small engine, what has been said is rubbish.
