The Cagiva Mito 125 could be described two ways, a scaled down superbike, or a 125cc race bike for the road.
The chassis and engine of the Cagiva Mito 125 are of a high spec, the frame is a twin-spar aluminium unit fitted with upsidedown front forks and a monoshock. The engine is a single-cylinder, two-stoke producing around 30 horsepower.
On the left is the new Cagiva Mito 125, and on the right is its inspiration, the Cagiva C594, 500cc GP racer from the early-1990s. Isn't it a bit late for Cagiva to be doing this...?
Remember the Ducati 916 look-alike Cagiva Mito 125? Well, after more than a decade, the bike has finally got a major update - it's now supposed to look like the Cagiva C594 GP racer from the 1990s! While the bike was to be officially unveiled at the EICMA in Milan next month, this picture has somehow been leaked and is now available on various websites.
While the earlier Cagiva Mito was a design classic – slim, svelte and very nicely proportioned – the new one isn’t… umm… as instantly likeable as the old one. The front end is indeed vaguely similar to John Kocinski’s and Eddie Lawson’s 500cc GP race bikes of the early-1990s, but we aren’t entirely convinced about the shape and the size of the headlamps.
The twin-spar aluminium beam chassis on the 2008 Mito 125 looks similar to the one on the old bike, and the new Mito is expected to weight about 125kg. Its 125cc, single-cylinder, two-stroke engine is likely to make 30 - 35 horsepower, and real-world top speed could be as much as 180km/h! More details and proper specs soon...
