Would take you all day to install too.

But only one key ..

 

I think it's probably a good thing for both Husky and MV-A/Cagiva
however I'm upset to hear it at a personal level - it means the Mito
500 is now dead :-( Explains why I've heard no more about it

Well THAT sucks! That looked like just the right size bike for a
shortarse like me. *sigh*

betty

 

Well you could always "roll your own" ;-)

Buy a mito, buy a dirt bike single cylinder 5 or 600 engine of a
vintage newer than the Mito. Persuade Hammo to install it. Take it to
engineer and get it approved. Register and ride away

(which is probably what I'll look at doing, excepting the Hammo bit)
