Matty`s Pocket Rocket Mito

While not exactly a China bike I figured it'll be mad enough of a project to fit in here too

So I just bought this thing today, for those that don't recognize it, it' s a 2005 Ducati 916... Sorry a Cagiva Mito 125 Evo 2. Sold as a gouged out parts donor bike it was cheap as chips but in a very sorry state, as you can see there's large chunks of fairing missing from the left side, as well as the wiring harness, most of the miscellaneous levers controls etc oh and yea the engine. But on the upside it still has a registered rolling frame and that's pretty much what I need for this project.

A couple guidelines about what I'm planning to do with this one are as follow:

-candy apple red topside and metallic silver sides as a nod to the MV Agusta F3/4.

-Custom undertail exhaust with a multiport tip as read above.

-140cc Lifan RSR Hondatype four stroke crate engine

-Turbo.

Yes you read correctly the main purpose of this project is to acquaint myself with the dark art of forced induction in a fairly (financially) safe platform. I don't really care how much power it will put out vs a bigger bore, I just want to make it work just to prove myself I can!

There is no schedule to get this done, might take one winter, might take five. It's a no pressure project (pun intended) and will be done solely "for the lolz".
