hi all

[padsta]

new here obviously,on the brink of buying a brand new raptor 1000.
jumping up from a suzuki 600,not v twin
just wondering how they are for reliability,handling and how often do they need servicing?
are they reasonable on parts and service costs?
also can you buy the bbelly fairings to add on from the uk?
and do they accept twin headlamp cons ok?
thanks in advance
pad

Do it, Do it, Do it. Reliability is great, engine parts are easy to get, body bits not so. If your 600 was a gsxr you'll probably wanna fix the boat like handling if you into hookin in to things on a regular basis. Servicing like any other jap bike really. Welcome
