cagiva for sale

whole exhaust is stainless apart from a couple of clamps) Always garaged. I`m the 2nd keeper. Selling to keep the wife happy(!) Tricky choice. OW. I searched for a really good one of these, as the successor to the Elefant, which was a great bike in so many ways - they still have a BIG following - but I didn`t need the off road capability of the Elefant any more, and wanted slightly higher gearing for the road. (She does have some off road capability, as reported by the magazines, but a bit less than the Elefant.) And this bike really is good - the gearing is just right for real road use, but not quite as high as the 900SS which uses the same engine, as the Gran Canyon didn`t need the top end. This gives it REAL grunt at just the speeds and rpm you want it. (As if the bombproof Ducati 900 engine didn`t have enough grunt already!) GREAT fun. The Elefant with this engine won the gruelling Paris-Dakar rally - 2 or 3 times, if I remember correctly. Handling is superb as you would expect, and braking excellent especially with two front discs with twin pot calipers AND the goodridge braided brake hoses. With so much torque, she is easy to ride in a relaxed way if you choose, moderate rpm and being lazy about the gear changes, or you can open the taps, deepen the growl and use the great Italian handling and that Ducati motor and get he X
