Greetings from new owner in Stockholm, Sweden

Post by jorgenen »

Hello everyone!

Just bought a silver 2001 V-Raptor here in Sweden. Got it from the original owner, who's only put a slightly surreal 7000 km on it in the course of those years. Slightly modified back-end, and "antennas" removed (but in a box). Otherwise completely original, down to the two (!) mint condition Cagiva keyrings ;) Yes, I'm very happy thus far.

The only thing I'm vaguely considering doing is looking at options for a raised seat, or other ways of accommodating my 195 cm frame slightly better. Not a big deal though, I won't be touring and I love so many other things about the bike that I'll happily live with feeling a little bit oversized at times.

Oh, and I'm taking orders for those beers now, of course!

Welcome aboard, very nice and clean looking bike there. Hope you'll feel at home here we do seem to have a few Scandinavians which is good fun. :cold:

Seems a lot of the tall folks quite like adding rear triangles to jack up the back end, search on here for triangles and I think you should find some ideas. :happyhappy:

Oh yes, and I'll have a mega-stein of pear cider, please, I'm bloody knackered after a tough few days so a large stiff drink should see me about ready for bed. :drunk:
