Motorcycle specifications FB MondialPagani 125 Sport Classic 2019 An appointment under a star

FB Mondial is a small-scale manufacturer today. Yet there was a time when its models dominated the dreams of the young, when victories clung to its wheels, when the name commanded respect. It was after the war, at a time in history when legends were born.

this is what the Pagani 125 remembers. Beneath its neo-retro sports car look, the body of the HPS is cleverly covered by a striking fairing. The shapes are perfectly matched to the fuel tank. The spoked rims are in keeping with the tone, but with the good reason that the mixed tires have been fitted for a more on-road look. The fender's pronounced vertical cutout is a surprise, but it's not long before the eye is drawn to the gray and blue layers - the colors of the old compèt machines. The spirit is maintained with half-handlebars gripping the inverted fork. In short, it's not just a case of dressing up, but a real desire to offer a machine that really pops. It has to be. For the Italian sports a proud name, one that is anchored in its body, even to the point of being sewn onto the saddle. That of the brand's most emblematic driver, Cirillo Pagani.

nostalgia, however, has no hold on the engine. The 125 cm3 single-cylinder engine is in tune with the times, passing Euro4, delivering 15 hp from its 4 valves and dissipating its calories with liquid cooling. Is it new and unknown? No, it's already making waves in Aprilia's 125 range. The heart is Italian, the honor is partly safe. But the bike had to bow to the pestle of globalization. An FB Mondial takes shape in the world's largest factory: China.

this is not a flaw. And you'd never know it when you see it in action. Exhilarated by the "70th anniversary" decor, Mondialists will have at hand a 133-kilo machine powered by 11 kW and calmed by a 300 mm petal disc clamped by a 4-piston caliper. It's also equipped with ABS, and a rear brake featuring a 220 mm disc with a piston at work.
Interestingly, it's one of the least expensive machines in its segment, almost on a par with a GSX-R 125.
