Those things have nigh on got a mito engine in them. Should be good for 100mph.

Have fun! Not too much though, friend of mine did some serious damage to himself on one of those. Slid into a car, both vehicles exploded.

Cheers for the comments. Thumbs Up

I didn't like the styling at first but it's really grown on me and great fun for a first bike.

Nice bike you have there, but try not to drop it as Cagiva parts are fairly expensive (cost me £70 for a 6 inch oil hose) and can take ages to get from Italy Sad

Fair play, thats a gorgeous 125. I'd just be paranoid about wrecking it all the time.... Shocked

watching meter panel, she has only one meter? (speed?)
What makes me envious is front suspension! This is overwhelming 125cc class. Thumbs Up

Yeah, it only has a speedo. It would be nice to see exactly how far into the redline I was. Cool

I use to have Planet. Loved it so much, the riding position is great, the brakes are great, the engine is from the mito so 90mph and the handling was spot on. Guess it made me get a Monster Cool

Older mitos including evo1 had 7 gears, evo2 onwards have 6, same as the planet.

Badly Adjusted. I could have sworn they were level before I tightened the bolts. Embarassed

Yeah it's a smokey stroker.
To me the mito looks as though it was initially intended to have a larger engine, maybe a 350 or something.

I think the frame was originally designed for a 250. They probably decided it would sell better as a 125. This is why people like to put beefy engines in this frame because it can take it.

Nice Very Happy I had a red one back when I was 17...... was a bit tattier than that though. Derestricted it yet? the engines useless with the restrictors in.

I'm hoping you have no problems with it, parts are a nightmare in every way imaginable. Good luck Thumbs Up

Thats used, right? Sorry if I'm being a bit thick, but that sounds waay too good to be a brand new OTR price!

I paid £250 for it off of eBay, was stolen/recovered. All it needed was new front pads, the gubbins that keep them in, and an ignition barrel. Sailed straight through it's MOT. Thumbs Up
Been replaced by the Raptor 125 (pretty much the same) but new i think they were about £3500
