"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 :rotfl:

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?
