Raptor Chapter

Patkin,how does the 1125 stack up against the raptor,any good ?. I keep thinking of having a change but still can`t find anything that ticks as many boxes as the rap. I will be totally frank with you, the Buell has more power, it is also very nimble but maybe no more so than the Raptor. The Buell w...

All fine thanks, Angela and the 2 kids plus my eldest who is now 19. I will definitely get to a raptor meet this year and please try to attend some of the Buell ukbeg meets too. Is anybody doing the Afghan heroes ride on Mother's day? Heres my "Black beauty" http://i6.photobucket.com/album...

I see Snappy is also here too, wow you guys are very committed to the marque, I wouldnt mind another one to be honest.

Was thinking of my old pals, I see you are still very much a part of this Shebee, how about Snappy? I don't have my third Raptor yet, have a new 2010 Buell 1125CR which are rarer than a rare thing. I may turn up at some of your meets and if you all fancy coming to some UKBEG (buell enthusiasts) meet...

Hi posted the news on another thread, an Aprilia Dorsoduro.

Family all fine thanks

hope you guys all fine too

This was my MZ by the way

Hi Chaps Shebee and Snappy will probably remember me of old (and I mean old). I have had a V raptor and an Xtra raptor and miss them both. I had flirtings with an Aprilia Tuono, MZ1000 SF, KTM 690SMC but now have a lovely Aprilia Dorsoduro SMV750. Great to see my old friends still taking an active p...

Thanks Snappy

Sorry i missed a rideout with you guys in the summer but we had a baby girl in July

hello and welcome.there are many posts on here reguarding power commanders and compatability.I would read them all if i were you. from experience and chatting to those who fit them TL1000s powercommanders can be fitted to raptors, though there are more wires that need to be wired in order for it to...

Dont know about the snorkels on later models but on both my V raptor and my xtra raptor the snorkels simply pull off....no clips, bugger to put back on though !!!

Guys, the MZ is a revelation... believe me, the fairing is phenominal. It is a similar story to the raptor, the biking press have given no support, naked tests come and go but the MZ is ignored as if it didnt exist.

Dont test ride one if you arent ready to stump up for one

After mine stood a while same story

Well chaps, at least those who know me, I bought my second raptor in the form of a lovely Xtra (ex Andyr), in March of this year. However temptation came to haunt me once more as my eye started to wander and my heart began to yearn for pastures new. Rather than indulge in more exotic italian machine...

Good luck with the Mille, I sold a v rap for a new tuono, lasted 18 months and sold in favour of an xtra rap.

Mille lovely hard edged motor.....crap in towns and tootling about.

Suspension which will make the raptor seem like a down matress. See you back here in a wee while methinks

if it is just a case of the paint flaking off for no reason and the rest of the bike in good nick it may be a warranty claim. Im having the LH side replaced
