Description from the seller
MV Agusta Cagiva River 500
Excellent condition, with new tires and serviced
All necessary parts replaced: battery, brake lines, all fluids.
Ready for the season.
Motorcycle efficient and very solid
Iscritta moto storica FMI
Not to be confused with the River 600 which had a myriad of problems.
This redesigned under MV Agusta supervision is an entirely different bike.
Only 490 were produced.
Its history, as relayed to me by MV Agusta Cagiva Italia
**********************************************
The history of the River is unfortunately unknown to many, due to the lackluster personality and power of the first 1995 600 cc series and the poor reliability shown over time, ending up in obscurity.
The River 600s were built and marketed from 1995 to 1998
for a total of 1,680 motorcycles.
In 1999 Cagiva revived the River
lowering the displacement to 500 cc while optimizing the engine.
In fact the River 500 paradoxically has more horsepower than the 600.
The new version is more dynamic, fast and reliable but unfortunately suffers from the bad reputation created by its older sister.
Produced in only 490 units; final production in 2004, even though it disappeared from the catalog between 2000 and 2001 to make way for the more substantial Cagiva Raptor 650.
It is clearly a second series, as evidenced by two fundamental factors reported directly on the registration document.
The stamping with the MV Agusta inscription occurred only in 2000 when Claudio Castiglioni, now the sole owner of Cagiva, decided to change the company name from Cagiva to MV Agusta while still keeping the Cagiva brand.
The second factor is the displacement specified in the registration document under P.1, which indicates 498 cc
This puzzle, when put together, tells us that the River 500 is part of the last production in 2004, left unsold and probably registered only in 2006

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
