Jose warned Jay and me that the new, 2024 MV Agusta Dragster RR SCS America was an attention-getter. As he wheeled it from the trailer at our test ride gathering spot, his words proved prophetic with passers-by asking, “What kind of bike is THAT?” Others noted its resemblance to something Evel Knievel would have ridden back in the ‘70s, or Captain America’s bike for the next Marvel “Avengers” movie. All of those observations are correct, but none do the 800c triple complete justice. It’s no overstatement to say the MV America is one of the most stunning two-wheeled conveyances ever built – by a mainstream motorcycle manufacturer, that is.
