[Ducati] (NDC) Anybody see the new Mito 500

[Ken Mannina]

I saw it last night at the San Mateo Show.  I was hoping it would be a CR500
motor in there but... 

The sales person informed me that it is a one-off exploratory effort at this
time to determine what level of market interest there would be in such a
bike.  Said 62hp at the rear wheel.  

It would be a little strange to hear the 4-stroke thumper sound coming out
of that sleek 916ish chassis and body work.

at the Cagiva booth? 60 hp 500cc Husky single in a Mito chassis ... "290 
lbs". They may have beat Aprila to the punch. I was waiting for an SXV550 
version of the RS125/250, but maybe not ...
