I bet that thing is unreal to ride, the amount of power it'll put down as soon as the throttle is pinned back!
I'm not a huge fan of the mito, but that makes it just far more interesting!  ____________________ Aprilia RSV Mille R Edwards Replica - Aprilia RS250 - Suzuki GSXR600 Supersport Race Bike |

Also, unless he's lightened it a fair bit, I suspect weight is more around 130kg dry or so.
My plan is still to put a 500cc mx engine in a GP250 chassis and road register it.

Hi
He also says it is "a pussycat to tickle along on the massive torque at low down revs". These engines are not designed for top end power as they have enough for off road use and having it fairly flexable is more use than a bit more top end power.
Weight wise Cagiva claim 121 for a stock early Mito. Assume that this one having the USD forks is slightly heavier.
However the Mito engine is a heavy lump. It would not surprise me if the KX engine is half the weight of the original 125 engine. 100 might be possible.
All the best

Yes but he doesn't actually say it weights 100 kg ts50x0, to quote him he says "At a guess I'd say it weighs in around 100 kilos"
Obviously hes never weighed it before but hes just trying to point out that its going to lighter than some other bikes. ____________________ chaff mans random tingz on loot

500cc 2 stroke
My speedfight is 98kg and the mito isnt that much heavier so it is probably 100 - 120kg.
But a 2 stroke 500cc That must rocket! It would smoke any 600 right?
I bet it sounds better than a mito 125
[edit] its a shame its not still registered a 125 [/edit] |

A NS500 weighs around 110kg and makes 150hp. Ok, that was a full on GP bike, but tyre are way better than that in a straight line.
Apart from the really crappy/long life ones, tyres only start to slide when you're getting the power on while leant over.
Also, doubt it would 'smoke' a 600. It still has half the power, as well as two thirds the weight. Now you can tune them up to get a tad over 100hp I believe, then it would start to get interesting .
In a straight line it would definitely lose out... the 600s front wheel will be skimming the road 'till about 50-60. The 500 will have less weight to keep the nose down (though less weight to accelerate as well) and will have to change gear way sooner. |
