Cagiva 125cc stroker racebike
Unfortunately not coming to the US... btw, Cagiva is really the same company as Aprilia (or is part of the same thing anyway.) From Raptors and Rockets:
quote:
125 2-stroke fans got a couple of very nice surprises at EICMA 2005. Both Aprilia RS 125 and Cagiva SP525 is homologated for the sport production racing category. Cagiva SP525 is virtually a ready to race machine and can not be used as a road bike. It boasts an impressive 37bhp at the crank which would transform to more than 300Bhp per litre. Mental is the only word that fits. Last time the Mito 125 was used for serious racing was in the Mito Racing 125 that Valentino Rossi won his first national sports production title in 1994. SP525 is claimed to be even more powerful and efficient than that version. Cagiva has fiddled with the fuel/air supply, exhaust system and the rotating mass in the 125cc 1-cylinder two-stroke to produce the mega horsepower figure. We have not got the full technical specs and price yet, but the standard Mito 125 only weighs 129 kg included battery, lubricants and cooling liquid.

There are a few Mito's running around here in the states, titled and licensed, but expect to fork over around 7K for one. One kool thing about the Mito's are that they sport a 7sp gear box which I always thought was kool. Ya know what.............. I'd buy one before I would a cookie cutter 600 though, but that just me.
Don't know if they've showed up yet but did get word a couple of weeks ago that about 8 Derbi GPR125's will be available for $5982. Landed, New in the box Definetely not as sexy as the Cagiva but kool just the same.
