Cagiva Mito Evolution 125 (1994 - present) review

If Ducati made learner legal bikes...
The looks are pure horn and the riding experience can be visceral
Rev-hungry engine needs looking after to get the most out of it

Best looking 125 on the market with seven gears and 916 looks. A rev factory but who cares – when you’re 17 it’s never gonna get any better.
