When I saw this machine for the first time I was sure that it was a 916 Ducati like the own I have owned since 1995. (designed by the same designer). The difference was the 7 speed gearbox which was my first clue that it wasnt a 916. The Mito is quite rare in the usa cuz the 2 strokes are not popular here in the states. They are very popular in Europe and in fact insome countries can be ridden by younger riders with the speed reduced. In fact it would only register the equivalent of 65 mph(its KM equipped). After modifying with racing parts I was seeing 112 mph(180 km) on the speedo. My investment is over $8000. 00 plus labor. The machine has only 399KM and now is for sale(too many toys). This machine has never been raced . nly ridden on the street to prove the package. If you are an inspiring racer there is a class for it here in the USA . r its a crazy cool street rod.
