The world went into a scooter frenzy when they announced the return of the iconic Italjet Dragster during EICMA 2019. They later confirmed that the bike will go into production this year and to kick things off, customers can pre-order a limited edition 2020 Italjet Dragster in the black and gold colourway. (more…)
The 2020 Italjet Dragster marks the return of one of the world’s most iconic ‘super scooters’ in the game and the company has confirmed that the new legend will go into production starting May 2020 in Italy. The news was confirmed by Italjet’s President and CEO himself, Massimo Tartarini. (more…)
The 2020 Italjet Dragster is making a return and will debut at EICMA 2019.
The new Dragster features the DNA of the original Dragster which was introduced in 1998. That includes the hub-centre steering setup instead of conventional forks and exposed steel trellis frame.
But the new model looks even more aggressive and arresting. The sharply-faceted bodywork and those circular hubs look like Lego Technic pieces. Overall, it looks stripped down and ready to do battle on the streets.
The manufacturer’s website listed the bike as having new four-stroke, Euro 4-compliant engines ranging from 125cc, 150cc and 200cc. All are liquid-cooled.
Italjet is a small Italian scooter and motorcycle manufacturer. Their Italjet 125 scooter was last sold in Malaysia in 2016. Since then they’ve introduced other bikes such as the Buccaneer 250.
Anyhow, the original Dragster were widely received and garnered a cult status in Europe since its introduction until production stopped in 2004. The manufacture knows this and used the tagline “We’re not joking!” In their website.
There’s no further word on its specs and prices. We should know after EICMA begins on 5th November 2019. We shall then see if it reaches our shores.
