Italian motorcycle manufacturer Fantic has released what could quite possibly be its most exciting model yet—a parallel-twin-equipped scrambler dubbed the Caballero 700. Fantic had previously introduced the 500cc Caballero range, but this time, has clearly outdone itself with the 700 model range. Interestingly, the new Caballero 700 has a very familiar engine—one from a long-time partner of Fantic.
That's right, Yamaha has had major involvement in the development of the new Caballero 700, as the bike sports none other than the 689cc parallel-twin from the Japanese manufacturer. Dubbed the CP2, this engine first made its appearance on the popular MT-07, and has since been featured in the XSR700, Tracer 7, YZF-R7, and Tenere 700. The Fantic Caballero 700 marks the first time the engine has been used in a collaborative model, as well as in a bike not bearing the Yamaha badge.
