    Bought an EVO2 Yesterday

    Not a Mistubishi, but an Cagiva Mito Evo2

    Its been down the road, so a bit of cosmetic damage, but mechanically very sound.





    Been stripping it down today so I can clean it all up & get it ready for for the panels to be repaired & painted.



    I think its the start of the mid life crisis. Really enjoying it though

    I have a Gilera GFR125 sitting in my shed Look that one up. A weapon of a bike in the mid 90's. Its unrestricted and produces 36hp ( Legal limit is 12hp on L plates) I Loved it until it blow up doing 14500rpm overtaking a car! Error Two strokes rock!!!

    I was looking for a Gagiva as they are probably one of the best looking (916/748 styling ) & one of the best handling, but I do like Gilera's & they are very very rare. Couldn't believe how well built it is, seems very "big bike" & chunky as JRP says. Its deristricted, so 33hp ish, certainly goes well & stops even better, Brembo's & rather large front disc . They've cerainly moved on from my days of RD125LC's & TZR125,s

    Two stroke bikes, Turbo cars, can't beat em

    Re: Bought an EVO2 Yesterday

    Well,my Mito is now nearly complete after a total nut & bolt strip down & repaint. took a little longer than I'd hoped but not bad for 6 weeks work in my spare time.

    It won't be to everyones taste I'm sure, but I'm really pleased with the way its turned out. I doubt there's another one like it thats for sure. Still got to do the wheels , but I won't do that until I get new tyres .Still a couple of very minor jobs to do & I need a new RH mirror glass as I broke it taking it out The plan was to sell it when finished & buy another to do the same, but I really like it, so I may just keep it & still look for another.lol.
