Cagiva Canyon 500 review
The successor to the Elefant, the Cagiva Canyon 500 retains the Ducati desmodue engine with fuel injection. It is regarded as a more road-oriented bike but is still capable on the dirt, although probably not in the league of the Elefant. The Gran Canyon name was shortlived - as of 1999, the bike has been superseded by the Navigator, which uses a Suzuki TL1000 engine.
