For those who never had the chance to ride this bike, just know that the clutch bite point is at 4,000 r.p.m.. Below that, you will simply not get off the line. At 6,000 r.p.m. you can fully open the throttle and nothing happens. Once you hit 8.000 r.p.m., OMG!
I had the exact one the limited edition colour, at the time I was only 16 years old and it felt like I had a Ferrari especially here in South Africa I never saw one in my colour and I got it brand new, it was every kids dream wish I still had it I would keep it forever, just park it in my house as a collectors even. And there was no 125 that can handle the corners like that bike. Amazing to see again.
I had a 1999 one (T reg in England). Really relies on the revs and that power valve opening up. Needed 100% all the time or it would be boring at lower revs/ speeds. Super light and incredibly sharp brakes! Mine ended up having a lot of electrical issues, blowing fuses etc. But lovely looking bike, really unique!
I've tried the 7-speed once, it's a really nice bike. I love the thin body feels like riding a bicycle (compared to my RS250 at that time) and very easy to change direction. Ride position is compact and racer-like, it make road riding feels like you are racing on track.
I have a aprilia rs125 full power and picked a cagiva mito 125 2001 yesterday and had to ride it to my mates because he had no cbt, I loved it so much so smooth to ride and feels alot better than the rs so I am thinking of buying one now 😜😆
@@bobuxgamerfuckoffentligsek614 Most of them have a seperate oil container where you just put the oil in and then you just pour gas in the tank and then the bike mixes it by itself, but most people remove them because they are really old bikes and the mixing pump could fuck up and u could fuck up your engine.
you need to toastie that engine up before running high in the rev range or you could cold sieze it. Engine temp before giving it a good rag should be 60degrees, ride it around 6-7k till it gets up to temp then open it up. Warm em up and run em high in the rev range, 2 strokes gak up with carbon if you're running around 6k all day... Plus the battery won't charge properly either. If you're not getting decent pull in lower revs check the power valve alignment and maybe some 2 stage Reed valves. I've restored and ridden a lot of Mitos, my favourite bike ever.
Side note, if you're not getting it up to 60, you can tape up some of the outter radiator sections during winter. Cagiva did sell a thermal rad cover back in the day because our winters are a little too harsh for that big old radiator, they're meant to be ridden around warmer climates.
Yeah I had the same advice when I got mine, it never reached that temp. Other 2 strokes maybe but the cooling on these things is insane with the huge radiator
@@stuffanthings You need to cover the rad if you're not reaching 60-80 degrees. When new these bikes used to come with a silver rad jacket that wrapped and secured around the radiator. I just use silver tape in winter.

I have a Gilera with a Yamaha two stroke engine, low end torque is great, wheelies in first and second, I like it more than the Aprilia rs 125 and that’s saying something
Vertex flat single ring ;) agree with the rest. Also tmx35 tends to run rich at least at idle, and afaik it is needed to have extra cooling when going from WOT to fully closed

@@leozinhosozinho it depence, most nieuwer bikes have a oil pump so its oke to engine break. BUT ! Alot of people disconnect the pump and mix our gas ourselfs. If the oil pump does not work you dont get any oil to the cilinder if you dont give gas.
I think this only applies to the old 2 strokes without an oil pump. If the bike has the oil pump then it's fine to let off the gas with the clutch engaged because the pumping rate is adjusted based on the throttle position and engine RPM.

The best looking 125 of all time in my opinion.
And just look at how cool those mirrors are!
Agreed! The timeless Tamburini design is just gorgeous!
@Quirin M. Eh debatable its an enduro and this is an sport bike but xcw is one of the best looking enduros
Definitelly the sexiest looking 125 cc, 2-stroke with AMAZING sound. ☝️
It is beautiful but I think the Aprilia RS (96-2005 model) pips it.

I always loved the Ducati 916 look
I live in Germany and I’m riding a Aprilia RS125 2stroke
That put a huge smile on my face! Reminds me of my rg125 days.. happy times 🤗
Sound is amazing
2-stroke is so much better than 4-stroke in this small engine capacity category!
Please make more videos with the mito, I absolutely love the videos tbh 😍🔥
This takes me back to 2008 ,I had the red and gold limited edition .
I had a 1976 Yamaha dantona 400 special 2 stroke at 30 to 40 mph it would shake and sputter. Full throttle was the way
Wow, that was my dreambike in 20 years ago & so expensive to buy..but hey i do owned a other Cagiva called Stella 115cc
Nice bike. Italy and Thailand colaboration bike.
I have this bike. I started out in this bike as my first bike.
I have a Gilera with a Yamaha two stroke engine, low end torque is great, wheelies in first and second, I like it more than the Aprilia rs 125 and that’s saying something
Nice vid, see you in 2021 :)
When you fix it
Change cylinder to 73037 and head 200h or g, carb 35mm pwk or tmx, sp95 exhaust, 2 ring wössner piston and change electrics if needed
Vertex flat single ring ;) agree with the rest. Also tmx35 tends to run rich at least at idle, and afaik it is needed to have extra cooling when going from WOT to fully closed

Don't you stop the oil circulation if you don't engine break?
When engine breaking there is no oil entering the cylinder.
this reminds me the power of Malaguti's 50CC LC engines
clever that this bike is low, because then it feels faster when you are lower to the ground
No you got it wrong buddy 😂 ride one for yourself before making assumptions
@@tielmanfrancoishorn3055 nah, this applies to all racing style bikes. ive had one myself and it feels faster compared to the mt 125 for example
@@horemustjugen6677 that's because it is faster lmao
@@Eetu_Veikkola if you are riding 80kmh it feels faster if ur lower to the ground than if ur higher up, acceleration is not what i mean
when letting of the gas you need to pull in the clutch. less wear to the piston
alternative: just a lil bit of twisting the throttle, so it doesnt decelerate
huh? is this a 2 stroke thing or just a bike specific thing? allways thought engine breaking was a-ok
@@leozinhosozinho it depence, most nieuwer bikes have a oil pump so its oke to engine break. BUT ! Alot of people disconnect the pump and mix our gas ourselfs. If the oil pump does not work you dont get any oil to the cilinder if you dont give gas.
