Hi Andrea.

Glad you've joined the ranks. Do you still see a lot of Raptors in Italy? Maybe they're not such an unusual sight over there.

Anyway, great country and great bikes! We'll share our info and passion with you if you could share some of your sunny weather with us!

Hi Red.
Pretty rare to see a Raptor even in Italy. Lot of people around look the Rap thinking about a Ducati Monster...
Almost impossible to find a stock Raptor. All Rap owner's customize it some way. All but me. I love Rap fully original. I found it second-hand one year ago, with 4.700 KM on the odo. Now in Italy is arriving spring (tomorrow we expect a sunny day, with 20 C°) and I'll go with some friend in Croatia (I live in East North of Italy, very close to the Slovenia border).
I'll share this sunny day (and some cold beers) with all of you….
Ciao
Andrea

Lot of special parts. Just for mention one, the Gubellini kit for the fork and the mono shock absorber Gubellini as well. But I know. Customizing results is a very personal matter ...

Welcome Andrea. I've never been to Italy but it must be a great place to produce so many beautiful motorcycles.
Let's hope some of your sunny weather makes it's way over to us. :cold:
So many motorcycles, so little money!
