Cagiva Gran Canyon - Ducati 900 Powered

The Gran Canyon arrived in the USA in 1999 as the Italian alternative to the ubiquitous German adventure-touring twin. Penned by Pierre Terblanche for the Castiglioni brothers� boutique brand, he GC is compatible with everything from cratered urban asphalt to canyon curves, aved or not. An updated version of the Elefant�s sturdy steel skeleton supports the 516-lb. package, omplete with 5.3 gallons of gas. That�s substantially lighter than an equivalent Triumph Tiger or BMW GS. The Cagiva�s stout heart is a fuel-injected, 04cc version of Ducati�s venerable, ir-cooled, 0-degree L-twin. The torque span is as wide as the bike�s Arizona namesake. A compliant, ight-side-up Marzocchi 45mm fork defeats potholes with casual ease, s does the single Sachs shock. There is still plenty of meat on the Bridgestone Trail Wing tires.
This is a very rare motorcycle. Less than 500 were sold in the US. It is in great condition. The speedometer shows 25,744km (15,996 mi). I have ridden this bike since new and it starts and runs well. It would make a great addition to a Ducati collection or a great rider.
Good luck bidding.
