Cagiva Mito en inglés

The Cagiva Mito (or "Myth" in English) is a small-engined Italian sports motorcycle. The powerplant consists of a two-stroke 125 cc single cylinder, capable of producing over 30 bhp in unrestricted form.

History and development
The original Mito was launched in 1990.


Mito Evolution
In 1994 the bike was restyled by Massimo Tamburini with similar lines to the then new Ducati 916 (a design he also penned). The similarity is particularly visible in the front and rear fairings.


Mito SP 525
In 2005 at the EICMA motorcycle show, Cagiva launched a race-tuned competition version of the Mito known as the SP525. This is something of a homage to the Cagiva C594 racing bike. The engine and several other areas have been tweaked, now producing >37 bhp at the crank. Front and rear fairings have been modified to look more like the C594, plus we lose the speedo and gain 8-spoke forged aluminium wheels; the overall weight is down. Although the racing competition SP 525 is not road-legal, there is a prototype road version, the SP525 Stradale, sporting headlights, mirrors and a pillion seat.


Mito 500
In November 2006 at EICMA, Cagiva unveiled the Mito 500 concept bike. The two-stroke 125 cc engine has been replaced with a fuel-injected, four-stroke 500 cc DOHC single, courtesy of Husqvarna, capable of putting out around 60 bhp and 50 Nm. Replacing the two-stroke's expansion chamber exhaust is a tiny, seemingly unbaffled system, its exit just visible at the rear of the underside fairing. With forged alloy wheels she weighs in at 133 kg - just 4 kg more than the Mito 125.


MOMOS Mito 125
In February 2007, Malaysian company MOFAZ announced that they will be assembling the last batch of the Mito 125 for Malaysian buyers. Only 300 will be made for this production run. Two colours will be made available which are matte black and classic red.
