Motorcycles make us dream. They have different colours, they have different sounds.
They have shapes that sometimes show what inspired their designers.
Sometimes these creations are real works of art that turn the designer into an artist.
-- Claudio Castiglioni
MITO SP525
Nowadays the Mito is 'conservative' both in principle and design. It offers the
sheer pleasure of riding a two-stroke, of hearing it scream through the gears
like the glorious Cagiva 500, even if it has three cylinders less.
When the racing bike won, Italy celebrated, especially when John Kocinsky
came home third in the World Championship. It is exactly the recollection of
those times when motorbikes were almost untamed beasts and more difficult to
dominate than any of today's machines, that made the name of the little Mito
resurface. The SP525 with the 1 of '125' replaced by a 5 in memory of the legendary,
much loved Cagiva 500.
Raptor 125
An evolution from the stylistical and technical base of the planet, the new 125
Raptor owes its name to the introduction of design concepts derived from its bigger
sisters, like the front headlamp, the new redesigned passenger seat, and the V-Raptor's
handlebars. New is also the front fender characterized by a smoother profile and the
license plate holder derived from the X-Raptor. Technically, the 125 Raptor receives
a new exhaust system having an extractable silencer and a new linkage for the rear
suspension that gives a weight distribution more concentrated to the front end.
Aesthetically, the 125 Raptor differentiates itself from the previous Planet by
the following
improvements: new front fender, seat, handlebar, handle grips,
instrumentation support, license plate holder, new frame coloured black, wheels
coloured black, fuel tank protection coloured black, Raptor and celtic logos.
