Is Cagiva pronounced:
CAH-GEE-VAH (gee as in Gee Whiz (J sound))
Cah- GHEE vah (gi like as in what you wear for martial arts - soft g)
Or something else altogether ?

according to my Italian dictionery it's the Gee whiz one, hopefully Actze or one of the other Italian guys will confirm
but then I call my aprilia a PEgaso whereas most in Uk call it PegAso

I always pronounced it with my London accent as GHEE, but I have been corrected by an Italian and now use GEE.
It sounds more Italian too

So many motorcycles, so little money!

Thanks guys, I've been saying Ca-gee-vah but wasn't sure, sounds like my wild guess was right (ya gotta be lucky sometimes !)
