Italjet Dragster 300 Arrives in Malaysia, Offered in Exclusive Malossi and Gresini Editions

Okay, we’ll start by saying that we like Italjet Dragster (125 and 200) because it looks as if Lego designed it into a live-sized Lego Technic kit, that reveals all its mechanical parts, along with a centre-hub steering. Now we have more to cheer about as the Italjet Dragster 300 has arrived in Malaysia.

The Dragster 300 prototype was first shown off at EICMA, utilising the present Dragster 125 and 200’s platform. The bike enters the market in two special editions, namely the Gressini Racing Team Edition, and Malossi Edition, complete with the obligatory winglets.

Aprilia RSV4 X-GP Celebrates Brand’s 10 Years in MotoGP

The Aprilia RSV4 X-GP has been launched, as the brand commemorates their 10th anniversary in MotoGP racing, and it is a MotoGP tech-laden missile.

“Really?” you ask? Try 234 hp, 131 Nm, 165 kg, Brembo T-Drive discs, and all the aerodynamics features of the Aprilia RS-GP25 MotoGP race bike.

The RSV4 X-GP is the fifth machine in Aprilia’s ultra-exclusive “X” line, after the RSV4 X (2019), Tuono X (2020), RSV4 X Trenta (2022) and RSV4 X ex3ma (2024).

Highlights

1,099cc 65 degree V4 tuned to full SBK-spec, with maximum power at 234 hp at 13,750 RPM, and peak torque at 131 Nm at 11,000 RPM.
Sprint racing filter, reworked intake trumpets, higher compression ratio, a dry STM clutch.
The APX Racing ECU, which is not available for the road, take care of fully adjustable traction control, engine braking, power delivery, anti-wheelie and data-logging, and GPS.
Owners even get a Yashi laptop loaded with the management software.
Suspension consists of Öhlins pressurised FKR up front, and TTX shock at the rear.

Brakes are Brembo GP4-MS calipers biting on 330mm Brembo T-Drive disc in front.
The rims are forged magnesium Marchesini M7R Gen, wrapped with Pirelli racing slicks used in WorldSBK, as in 125/70 SC1 front, 200/65 SCX rear.
Jetprime racing switchgear.
Spider rearsets and other billet stung.
PBR titanium sprocket.

RK 520 chain.
Leg wing and tail wing technology directly from the current RS-GP25, making this the first MotoGP-derived bike with these features.
They work together with the front wing, under wing, and cornering winglets to create downforce under braking, in corners, and even mid-straight to glue the front wheel to the ground.
The rear subframe follows the RS-GP25’s carbon seat support from PAN Composite, serving both as a weight-saving measure, and another aerodynamic aid.
Completing the MotoGP look is double-pipe SC-Project MotoGP exhaust, a full carbon fairing with RS-GP25 race livery.

And a MotoGP-style SC-Project exhaust system.

We did not bother about how much it costs, but we’ll publish it anyway for you, our readers: €90,000 (RM443,781.00). Only 30 units will be produced for worldwide customers.

CFMoto 750SR-S Debuts

Here comes CFMoto again, making waves with another midrange sportbike, called the CFMoto 750SR-S, after introducing the 500SR Voom and 675SR-R just last year.

This latest 750cc variant follows the 675SR-R, by utilising an inline-four cylinder engine instead of a triple like the 500SR.

The manufacturer lists the 749cc engine as producing 110 hp at 10,250 RPM and 80 Nm at 9,000 RPM. While that looks in the ballpark of other 750cc sportbikes, it is actually lower than that of the class-leading Suzuki GSX-R750 which produced 147 hp and its GSX-R600 brother which produced 119 hp. However, the point is the CFMoto 750SR-S is tuned for better torque suitable for street riding despite its racy looks and winglets, while the Suzuki is a race bike.

Highlights

749cc, inline-four, DOHC, 6-valve engine which produces the aforementioned 110 hp at 10,250 RPM and 80 Nm at 9,000 RPM.
Spent gases exit through four exhaust mufflers mounted in pairs on both sides of the tail.

Six-speed transmission with slipper clutch.
Front suspension consist of a pair of 43mm KYB upside-down forks.

Rear suspension uses a KYB monoshock and single-sided swingarm.
The front brakes consist of twin 320mm discs gripped by a pair of Brembo M4.32 Monobloc calipers.

Electronics include a six-axis IMU (inertial measurement unit), cornering ABS and cornering traction control.
The IMU also facilitates cornering lights.

6.2-inch colour TFT screen.
Its seat height is 805 mm.

Fuel capacity of 17 litres.
CFMoto claims a curb weight of 213 kg.

Apart from these specifications, the maker claims that the CFMoto 750SR-S can accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds, and a top speed in excess of 240 km/h. Again, it is not a track bike.
