Cagiva X4

Added some more pics to my Cagiva X4 set, this was the first Cagiva at the race tracks. It was based on a Suzuki RG500 MK4. This is the ex Alex George machine as ridden in the TT of Man in 1979 and 4 Grand prix, Austria 13th, Italy 13th and 2 retirements. He won the big race at the TT beating Mike Hailwood on the Big Honda, but the Cagiva/Suzuki failed in the senior and Mike won the race.
