So i was looking for my next bike...

Scrap the above

That would have been a great bike power by Huskys 510 SM engine, but it seems that Cagiva changed their minds.

The Mito 500 will now be the Mito 650, and will be fitted with a liquid-cooled, DOHC, 650cc, 79bhp v-twin sourced from Korean motorcycle manufacturer Hyosung. (The same engine is also fitted to the American-made Fischer MRX.)

To keep costs down, the new Mito 650 will be built in India, by Pune-based two-wheeler manufacturer Kinetic, who also have tie-ups with Hyosung, SYM and Italjet. Though it’ll only be moderately powerful, The Mito 650’s Ducati 916-esque styling, light weight and low-ish price (we hope!) should make it an interesting proposition for some.

However with a Korean engine and Indian build quality it'll be a pile of .... for others....

Totally agree, thats was I getting at. I wouldn't touch the 650, The 500 with that 510 Husky motor would have been a blast

I forgot to put quotation marks on the last two paragraphs

"Asking price for the Cagiva is 150k."
.... 150k did you remind him where in a global ressesion.

maybe if we all pay our part, we could have it as our 'powerslide' promo-bike we have like 2000 members. 150 000 /2000 = 75 if everyone would pay 100, we could sent it over the world to let everyone who chipped in have a ride on it
