The Cagiva 125 C12R Final Edition, presented at the Milan Show in November 1991, marks the culmination of a decade-long evolution of the Arrow. This final iteration was not designed for racing nor a limited edition, but rather a response to market demand for more practical and affordable motorcycles.

Unlike its competitors, the FY boasted an incredible value-to-price ratio, with a purchase price of just Lire 4,400,000, significantly lower than that of the powerful and expensive Myth. This was achieved through Taiwan production, which took advantage of local labor costs and technical adjustments to optimize efficiency.

The result is a well-balanced motorcycle that delivers on both performance and affordability. Its engine character shines through in its smooth, responsive delivery, making it an ideal choice for riders seeking a practical and enjoyable experience on the road or off.
