MOTO VERTE n°115 ( November 1983 )
Who doesn't know the Barigo now? Jewels of craftsmanship, these astonishing parts-cycles demonstrated their efficiency and reliability throughout the last Dakar. The Barigo are a bit to motorcycles what Cardin is to ready-to-wear: the exception. And if Patrick Barigault still offers complete parts-cycles ready to receive Honda engines (XLS, XLR and XR), he mainly offered on his stand two models which currently constitute the main part of his activity: the 500 RCB (for Rotax Cross Barigo ) and the 500 RB. The RB also exists in 600, powered by the 560 Rotax. In any case, very nice machines with frames made of 26CS4S aluminum (which is the best), with care and using the best existing components. The Barigo are true compe-customers offered at prices that must be qualified as reasonable, when we take into account the quality of the whole. The 500 RCB costs 29,200 F, the 500 RB 29,800 F, and the 600 RB 30,800 F. No options, these prices include the Marzocchi 42mm fork, Brembo disc brake, Akront rims and Ohlins damping. The whole weighing no more than 120 kg, which 45 muscular horses move with speed. Note that enduro models are sold homologated. Rancor of quality, Barigo are only manufactured in small series. the next fifty will be available in December, for the more clairvoyant ...
