The Cagiva Aletta Oro (Italian for Gold Fin or Gold Wing, of all things), was offered in two versions – the S1 and this S2. The bike was designed to be an entry level 125cc two stroke sport bike.
The S2 was similar to the S1, though it gained an electric starter and some redesigned parts like the cylinder. The 125cc engine produced 23 horsepower, which wasn’t bad considering the bike weighed just 273 pounds dry. See the little door on the front right fairing? You might guess it was a quirky Italian way of hiding the fuel filler cap, but it’s actually the filler for the radiator, as this bike was liquid cooled.
This specific example (VIN: ZGGCCXAX56V005026) has 2,517 miles and features a kick starter along with the magic button. Unfortunately, there’s no battery installed and the bike hasn’t been started in the past 2-3 years. I suspect this bike was previously up for sale back in 2011 (when it sold for $1,995) – here’s a profile on it from back when Bring A Trailer did bikes.
