new member new bike
hi all,well ive just bought a v raptor,got sick of inline fours,not that theres nothing wrong with them,i fancyied a twin that had hopefully the reliablilty of a jap bike,since the rap has the tl lump in it im hoping it will be fine.im still not sure about the front end on it,might have to take that off over the winter.i would have bought the naked raptor but my mate was selling this cheap so i grabbed it,ive hear that alot of people upgrade their suspension,ive not done enuogh miles to really find out,safe riding everyone,
i dont need sex,the government fu*k me everyday

Re: new member new bike
thanks all,ive been searching for suspension upgrades and since it was my first proper ride out yesterday on the rap i tend to agree with most people here.think i will change the tyres next time there needed,bridgestones on at the mo.(they were on when i bought the bike)dont give me great confidence.but the bike goes well.
