"Mito wheelies in first three gears."
WTF? Did they put a roached motor in it? Should wheelie through all 5.
"We suspect the chunk missing from the edge of the exhaust port is due to a broken piston."
If you're gonna do it at all, why not do it right?

ahhh,pb magazine!
i used to love reading that mag up until ronnie died. kind of died off a little after that. but looks like a cagiva mito 125 frame theyre using.i think that thing will be the fkn king of highsides and piston seizures

gearing it up to over 105mph.
imagine when they back it off and down shift through all the gears coming into the corner from 105mph!
hope that aint a wiseco in there

I agree. I could see using it to get everything to fit correctly, but what's the point of building something like that and using a broken piece. Weird.

This has taken them about 3 years to get this far! I built the rear shock for them, it is the journalists own bike which might explain why some corners have been cut - I don't think they get paid a great wage!

Does the article say 16 tooth front sprocket? Is this possible?
