The R125 looked sweet, not the biggest fan of the new styling of the Mito, (I Loooved it when it looked like the 748)
Don't know if you got out of the review that there is around
a 1200 euro price difference between the 2, the Cagiva being more expensive at
about 5k.
But when testing it, they were saying that the Yamaha is more of a commuter
bike (to and from school) or short trips, while the Cagiva is intended for the
people that want to get into track racing. When the guy was talking about the
"full power" model, he meant without the restrictions on the 2-stroke
that bog it down to 15Hp (11kw). He also says that the Mito gives the
impression that it could keep up with the larger displacement bikes, when using
all of its power, where as the Yamaha cannot since it truly cannot make any
more than 15Hp (also all the figures at the end were given with the restricted
Mito)
Also they mentioned the Derbi GPR and the Aprilia RS125 (all 2-stroke) and the
Honda CBR125, Kymco Quannon 125, Hyosung Comet 125 (4-stroke)
They talk about the advantages of the 4-stroke, less maintenance and better
fuel efficiency but no figures are given. The other main difference according
the reviewers is the design, the Cagiva is designed after John Kocinski's
winning Cagiva in 1994, and the Yamaha takes form current GP bikes and Yamaha's
current models.
I’m kinda surprised that the Yamaha Spanks the Mito in every
category minus Breaking all the way from 50Km/h and dry weight, I really wish
that they also showed us the figures for the full 30+hp, it is well known that
no one keeps the limiters on the bikes, hell I even got my 50cc scooter
un-restricted.
