Cagiva Aletta Oro S1 125
. .Presented at the Bologna Motor Show in December1984 and sold shortly after the Cagiva 125 GP S1 incorporates a historicdesignation: Aletta was a famous 125 built in the sixties by then CagivaHarley-Davidson and Gold Wing was the fastest single-cylinder Varese intendedfor private pilots. The Golden Fin thus provides a motorcycle style and advancedfeatures that clearly show the will superstructure 'of the house from Varese topropose measures to be 125 with a medium capacity. Where the various AS-R NS-Fand RV have difficulties 'to hide their appearance from motion-read, the S1 haslittle presence and size, indicative of the effective displacement and, in fact,more' than anything else found one eye carefully written and 125! Unfortunatethat despite the big line, although the valid cycle, reveals the truedisplacement vane Gold for driving experience more 'mature and average engine,we must' wait Gilera KZ 1986. Technically, the S1 is also equipped with lesscompetition, can not boast either the exhaust valve or an electric starter.
The S1 and S2 were not his descendant of the great commercial success, althoughfor those Cagiva piu'avanti would arrive shortly with the next arrow and Myth.

The generous sizing of all components, fully stretched out toward the frontlines, the rounded and excellent proportions, give the S1 a remarkable sense ofunity and momentum of solidita'tipica cilidrata greater. The housing and theoverall level of finishes are consistent with the high price. The sides, pressure mounted, concealed in the battery right and left air filter.On the right side of the hull is a door giving access to the cap for theradiator and water pump, rear brake, curiously located in posiozione elevated onthe right side. The seat protected by a removable lock located on the tail,hiding the front tank for mixing oil and a cosmetic bag for tools, while in theback just below the tail, is a handy compartment space-objects. The instrumentation Sleep Borletti, although it looks very orderly, and'complete and easily readable even at night. The equipment is' very complete andin addition to contakm (also graduated in mph), tachometer, termomentro waterand a large battery of lights, also boasts the first fruits of a digital gearindicator light and a fuel level. The electric controls are the classic and wellmade CEV period and commonly used in other bikes.
Ciclisitca The frame follows technical trends typical of the mid '80s and therefore, hereis the structure of double-cradle tubular steel panels abbianata a classic steelswingarm. The front there is a telescopic hydraulic fork with 35mm Marzocchiantidive device adjustable to three positions, while rear there is always ashock absorber adjustable in spring preload and Marzocchi called by Cagiva "SoftDamp". The braking system and 'a very valuable Brembo Gold Series, with thefront of a pair of 220mm floating discs served by fixed-piston caliper and therear a 220mm floating disc ever and ever served by dual-piston fixed caliper .The alloy wheels have smaller three-spoke 'contained and betray the truedisplacement of S1: 90/100x16 to' front and 100/90x18 rear. Engine Derivation of motocross, the engine of Cagiva Aletta Oro, although powerful,does not give much technical solutions of the moment. Provided admissionlaminated into the cylinder, with up to 10 lights, automatic mixer and cooledforced circulation, the engine of the S1 'rather devoid of anti-vibrationcountershaft, electric goodwill (even demand) and, more' serious exhaust valve.As known, the exhaust valve not only serves a marketing function, but rather'has the important task of changing the timing of the discharge depending on thenumber of laps, and then allowing the adoption of suitable distribution diagramsto seek maximum performance at high speeds without compromising the shot low andmedium rpm. From this point of view, the S1 sins clearly, since the adoption ofa cylinder particularly encouraged to stay competitive with the competition hasnegatively affected the delivery at low and medium rpm, where holes are evidentannoying delivery. 7000giri exceeded, the engine runs very well and pulls stronguntil almost 9000giri, but the rev range and is diminished to the detriment ofthe quality 'of driving. With regard to performance, S1, despite the problems mentioned above, does notbehave quite badly and with a maximum power to the wheel to 21.01cv 8750giri isthe most 'powerful of its direct competitors AS-R NS-F and RV, and second onlyto the AS-R in terms of speed 'principle with 139.700 km / h (140.300 mph forthe AS-R). On the other hand, evidence of recovery in the 400 meters to 50km / hshow very well the lack of tractability 'of the engine, the S1 recorded theworst result of the class a time of 23.035 sec and a velocity' output of only76.590 km / h (19.157 seconds and 104.046 km / h, the leader AS-R) Via 125stradali.com
