Mito Evo and 916 were both released around the same time in 1994 (was it really that long ago??) and as they were both designed by the same person working for the same company, it's not really unsurprising that they look similar.

Regardless, the plastics are off, the carb has been cleaned, the air filter fell apart in my hands, it seems that the headlights have been replaced with ebay special HID bulbs and transformers, and the brake reservoirs were empty and the battery is still flat.

But it runs..!

The starter makes a hell of a 'bang' when it engages and it's a bit rumbly on tick over. I also need to look into the charging as it doesn't seem to be (but I read somewhere that it needs to be revved quite a bit to get any charge out of the system so it's something else on the increasingly large list)
