Raptor Chapter

You've never had it so good!!

I see this as really good news especially for Cagiva after years in the doldrums and with no real after service. However, MV is a far more iconic brand and we'll have to see what the marketing boys get up to if they get a decent budget. How about a new cheaper MV which just happens to be spec'd like...

Adverts.....no. But if I'd said I was a professional diver I'd be called Drogba or Ronaldo!

Oh and I actualy prefer cerise, it goes with my eyes......!

Use watercolours..........................

I reckon you can see about 5 feet if its painted dayglo orange at 100ft from sea level in the english channel. less in the Firth of Forth!

ps I used to be a commercial diver

Check out MCN homepage and follow link to the demo of the new PS2 game. Xtra Raptor features heavily in intro vid clip!

Also note that my new Trumpet is one of the optional bikes I could play on

Hey Rapt,

I've gotta surplus standard seat cowl if you're still looking. See Classifieds.

Cheers, Dave

Drinks all round to all my raptor riding friends here and a toast to the excellent website that has been an almost daily read and of such help. Tempted away by a new Daytona 955i. Had to chop in the V Rap. I will miss her after 3 years together but it is better to have loved and lost than never love...

Have a look in Classifieds. If yours is a V Rap I'm parting with some of my carbon fibre goodies.

Saw them both. Very impressive. The paint on the predator themed bike was amaxing. Try and get a picture hosted here for everyone to see, although I doubt it'd do the subtle stuff justice.

You can't tell from the photo unfortunately. I have got the aftermarket plates fitted and the differences are subtle unless they are placed next to one another. Acouple of things you could try. With aftermarket plates fitted to my V Raptor the seat height directly above the centre of the rear axle n...

Has anyone seen a 2005 model Raptor of any capacity or type? I haven't seen any advertised and 3X hardly publicise Cagiva at all now. Are they even being built? :? The 650 is supposed to have the injected motor now and the nakeds looked really good in the mags with a mini fairing. The motorcycle pre...

Bellisima! Just don't wreck it on the race track!

Bought similar plates about a year ago and totally agree that they transform the handling for the better. Cagiva cottoned on last year - the 04 Raptor models have the geometry as standard. X Raptor had it anyway but with a steering damper. I haven't found the need to fit a steering damper myself alt...

God help us with fools out there like that. Mend soon and get a good physio. I was told I'd land up with one shoulder an inch higher than the other after mashing a collarbone in a dirt bike off, but I avoided the Quasimodo look (at least in the shoulder department!) and the early diagnosis proved wa...
