care enough about that stuff or
not is up to you, but if it were my
money, I would. But then, mine
wouldn't be an art piece in my
living room.
The Dragster America is
doubtless a stunning machine.
It's by far the best looking of
the middleweight naked bikes
out there, but for the price, I'd
have expected more in the spec
sheet. Again, I approach this
review from a performance as
-
pect, not an artistry one, and if
that were the case, the America
has very few, if any, peers.
One thing's for sure, if you
want something exclusive, you'll
be hard pressed to find some-
thing better than a Dragster RR
SCS America.
