Cagiva (Ducati) Canyon 500
I have purchased the bike seven months ago as a commuter. It is a perfect bike for this purpose. Very low consumption, can sneak in between cars ;O) and it is very quick too!
extremely reliable, easy start hot or cold,
You can hardly feel a passenger behind, surprising for 499 cc engine!
REGO 26/06 2008
Purchased new in NZ
seven months old.
Silver
no damage at all
very fine minor scratches from shoes when boarding. It might be possible to even remove it. You can hardly see them.
Max speed unknown :) I have tried about 140 and it was still fine and very stable. If accelerating fast , you need to watch not to make wheelie at every lights!
This bike is more than capable of gravel roads and when fitted right tires, dirt track too.
It is in an excellent conditions, never damaged or crashed, still under warranty, serviced regularly, and after 1000, 3000, and 5000 km changed all liquids. (Oil filter replaced after 5000).
Reason to sell? It has done its purpose = saved me a lots of money for every day travel to work. Now I want to buy a bigger bike again!!
