How long owned ?

I have had mine just 2 short months. Bought it on the 28/02/07. Was raining all day, still had a good time on it!

Hopeing this year to get the tail tidy fitted (german one), put on some decent zorts, have the wheels powder coated silver, fit TRE, Power Comander, Race air filter and get the seat redo with 20mm extra foam.

Lets hope all this pans out, but i guess it will be this time next year and i will still have the same list.

Had mine about 2 months as well ,and what a two months it`s been.Just about got the hang of going through the box on the back wheel and now i`m starting to steer it on the back wheel,but only a little.These bikes are just so easy to hoist up

Nearly two years,have had Ducati's,Guzzi's and BMW but will never sell my Rap,timeless design,could be launched on the market today and still look as modern and exciting as it did seven years ago,I sit and admire it,I go to bed and think about it,I'm sure I have cronic Raptoradictisitis.

Had mine about 21 months, added some bits, pointy indicators and pointy mirrors, some loud zorsts(Mmmm, they sound nice!!) and the belly pan. And taken some bits away, well the bit of plastic from the airbox
I'm lovin it!!
Had a test ride the other day on a Buell XBR12, just to confirm what an ace bike the Raptor is. The Rap is well sorted and looks good, the Buell well it looks good, uses some trick technology, but there the story ended for me.
Don't think I'll change it, I'd buy another!!

I've got 3 Buells, one of them is a XB. You should have tried a real Buell, not one of the 'nearly bikes'.

Oh, and I've had my Xtra 31/2 years. It's fine now I've got a rear shock that works
