Cagiva 500 River

A rather rare machine from Italian manufacturer Cagiva, the River is a simple, unassuming commuter machine with some pleasing design touches. Powered by an elderly single-cylinder air-cooled engine, the River's moderate power and economical running makes it ideal for commuting. The River is also cheap to insure and eligible for the limited Al licence class in Europe. The chassis is rather higher-spec, with a twin-spar frame, upside-down forks and monoshock rear, while Brembo disc brakes front and rear ensure trouble-free stopping. A small screen and stylish sculpted fuel tank increase the River's appeal, and it coiild also be supplied with factory-approved hard luggage panniers, further enhancing its commuter role.
