Any ideas?

Didn't Cagiva use a ducati engine in one of their bikes, look at the latest Pronto of the Dave Harris meet I think there's a picture there.

Of course I could be wrong.

Looks a lot like a Pantah

It is a Cagiva Allezura, like the multi coloured one that I rode at the Dave Harris night. I cant be certain but it should be a 650 rather than my 350.

Give me a buzz if you need more info.

Thanks, will pass the info on.

yep looks like an Alluzuri, although the colour scheme is wrong, - original had decals on it. Yes they did come in 650. When they first came into the UK I rode a silver one for an old magazine called Motorcycle International on a roadtest and was on the front cover, - I think KeefyB has said before that he still has a copy of the mag, - I do up in the loft somewhere,- Keith may have owned one? It is a Pantah engine with Cagiva bodywork.

The guys seem to have it spot on.

I have this book which I think you might find useful:

It even mentions that FZR600 wheels and forks will fit, sorry guys - my track day fiend head got in the way there :devil:

Someone posted up this link, which confirms it:

I think they must have replaced the graphics/paint at some point and decided to pretend it was a Ducati (which it basically is anyway...)

Yep,its the Cagiva Allazurra.It was available as a 650 and a 350,there was also a GT version with a full fairing.
As mentioned above I did own one once.Mine had a Verilicchi 2-1 exhaust and Dymag wheels.Here's a pic of it with my 900SS.

Your 900ss looks nice:)

[philthy]

Yes it does look very nice, ummmm............ the Cagice, if you squint a bit almost looks like a Katana !

:o How dare you say that:eek: ;)
