The iconic Italjet Dragster is back, restyled and reborn for the 21st century. Here’s the first photos live from EICMA in Milan, where we had a chat with Massimo Tartarini, Managing Director of Italjet. We’ll bring you video of the interview later where he tells us all we need to know, including the expected delivery date and interchangeability of parts from the original classic machine. One thing is for sure, it may not look like the original in many respects but it’s bustling with Italian style and the originality that made the original Dragster such an iconic scooter.
- Capacity: 125/200
- Engine: 4-Valve Aprilia derived
- Availability: May 2019
- Price: €4.800 200cc €4500 125cc
The 200cc engine units look very much like the Chinese version of the Aprilia/Rotax engine used for the BMW C1 and currently fitted to the Scomadi 200. If the 125 is also water-cooled it will probably be a smaller capacity version of the same engine.

Oh dear. The original was perfect. They just can’t leave things alone can they. It’s like you get an Old Master painting and decide to “just add another brush stroke” and you end up not knowing when to stop and ruin it completely.
What’s the build quality like Iggy?? And are the engines the same as the scomadi? Cheers Malc
I’m just writing a piece/editing video for later. I’m impressed.
The new Dragster looks beautiful. Perfect balance of technical transparency and aesthetic appeal. If it is marketed correctly it will be a hugely successful scooter. The engine sizes are
set to capture both ends of the scooter market and if the performance lives up to its looks I want one!
