Motorcycle (and scooter) manufacturers are taking their designs and feature cues in their new scooter models further from the norm and putting more power and features packed within a wildly designed bodyshell as they see more riders move into the scooter segment for easier maintenance, lower pricing than their Class 2 counterparts, as well as an automatic transmission for ease of use.
If you ask anyone what's the wildest and most hyped up scooter they can think of now, they'll probably point you in the direction of the Italjet Dragster, and that's one mean looking beast. The Italjet Dragster has almost no body panels, exposing its trellis frame and shouting "RACE" even when standing still. It is one of the most extreme scooters that we have seen in recent time, and that is exactly who this scooter has been designed for. No corners were cut and top-end parts such as Brembo calipers, Pirelli tires come stock on the Italjet Dragster.

What's more exciting than that is, very soon, there will be quite a few of these Dragster running around our little sunny island, courtesy of Italjet's exclusive distributor - Scooter Narcotics. We can't wait to get our hands on a test bike and if our intel is correct, the first few models should be homologated soon and be legal for use on our roads.
The Italian firm revealed the unconventional four-stroke twist-and-go in both 125cc and 200cc guises back in late 2019 and claim to have taken thousands of orders worldwide since.
Initially due for release last year, a global pandemic and stringent Euro5 emissions rules saw the firm push deliveries back into 2021 – with all bikes now getting a larger 200mm front disc (up from 175mm), ABS (early 125s used combined brakes instead) and suspension components from Paioli.
There is also a limited edition model which has been completely sold out even before deliveries so you're out of luck if you wanted to get your hands on the limited gold colourway.
If this scooter is something that tickles your fancy, be sure to reach out to Scooter Narcotics today to book a test ride and your reservation, and do check back on SingaporeBikes.com for our first look and review!
