hi my name is stu i am a cagiva mechanic at a cagiva dealer.this bike is very fast it will beat most cars including a ferari 355 if you get it derestricted and get a race package of your local cagiva dealer it will do this 0to60 in mph 4.8seconds and just over 115 mph.the down fall is because most lads buy this machine thay are ristricted to a sertain amount of hp-horse power like 11 hp or something and if you write it off and your insurance asser finds out your not geeting any money im afraid because if youve got a cbt this resriction applies but the bike might as well be 250cc because it is a flipping flying machine and it will do you proud!!!
