Cagiva 125: A Production History (1980–2012)

The history of Cagiva’s 125cc line is a journey through the golden era of Italian 2-strokes. From humble commuter roots to world-dominating race replicas, the Varese factory produced some of the most iconic small-capacity motorcycles ever made.

The Early Years: Cruisers & Commuters

  • Cagiva SST 125: The air-cooled predecessor that helped build the brand.

  • Cagiva 125 Cruiser (1987): An early foray into the "custom" style 125.

  • Cagiva SXT 125 / Ala Rossa (1982): Early dual-purpose models that showcased Cagiva's versatility.

The Sport Replica Revolution

  • Aletta Oro 125 (1985): The bridge between the old SST and the high-tech sports bikes.

  • Freccia C9, C10, C12R (1987–1991): The "Arrow" series featured pioneering aerodynamics and the legendary 7-speed gearbox in the C12R.

  • Mito MK1 & MK2: The "myth" was born, taking inspiration from the GP500 race bikes.

The "916" Era & Beyond

  • Mito Evo 1 & 2 (1995–2007): Restyled by Tamburini to match the Ducati 916. The Evo series is arguably the most recognizable 125 in the world.

  • Cagiva Planet / Raptor 125: The naked variants that offered Mito performance with "Monster" styling.

  • Mito SP525 (2008–2012): The final evolution, featuring an electronic carburetor to meet emissions standards before production was suspended.

Off-Road & Specialized Models

  • Elefant 125 (1988): Inspired by the Dakar-winning 900cc desert sleds.

  • Tamanaco 125 (1989): A high-performance enduro model for the youth market.

  • Supercity 125: One of the original "Supermoto" designs, using the Mito’s high-power engine.

Over the decades, Cagiva produced several versions—ranging from the early 7-speed Mk1 models to the final SP525—each with unique port timings and combustion chamber shapes. Using the wrong piston-to-cylinder combination or mixing incompatible heads can lead to poor performance or catastrophic engine failure. Use the codes below to identify your setup. Common Cylinder Barrel Codes The identification code is usually cast into the side of the barrel, near the base or the exhaust port. 73037: The "Standard" Evo barrel found on many 6-speed models from 1994–1999. Known for reliable power and good port timing for street use. 66650:...

Cagiva mito 125 for sale here on Ebay UK Cagiva mito 125  parts for sale here on Ebay UK  How to Derestrict the Cagiva Mito 125 (Full Power Guide) The Cagiva Mito 125 is famous for being one of the fastest learner-legal bikes ever made, but many are still restricted to 15bhp. To unlock the full 30bhp+ potential of the Mito Evo engine, you must remove the factory-fitted bottlenecks. IMPORTANT: You must perform all three steps below at the same time. If you derestrict the air and exhaust without re-jetting the carb, the engine will run lean and likely seize within minutes. The 3 Stages of Mito Derestriction 1. The Exhaust Expansion Chamber The standard exhaust has a "plenum chamber" (a small blind pipe) welded near the manifold. This disrupts the exhaust pulses and kills power. The Fix: Use an angle grinder to cut off the plenum chamber, weld a patch over the hole, and grind it smooth internally. Alternatively, swap to a Giannelli or Arrow sports exhaust for an immediat...
