Hello from South Wales

Post by aluntirlan »

Hi, I'm Alun and I've just bought a standard 2003 Raptor 1000 in red. This is my second Raptor (I had a grey one when they first came out), my third Cagiva (I once had a Navigator) and my fifth Italian bike (I've also owned a Ducati 748 and an Aprilia RS250).

I'm looking forward to a summer of riding, if it ever stops raining here in Wales!

Cheers - Alun

Thanks folks!

Shedmonkey - The Navi was a good, comfy bike let down by shocking brakes. Mine had the front calipers overhauled and they were still iffy. The engine felt different to the way it feels in a raptor too.

Still, a great winter bike or a cheap tourer.

Anyone want crisps with their drink?
