hello there !

i'm new to this forum and just got myself a 2nd hand Raptor 1000. i'm from Malaysia and Raptor's are a rare sight in this part of the world. It's a shame though becoz this bike is fantastic.
This is the 1st superbike i've owned and i'm blown away.
Excellent power delivery with great roll on/off acceleration.....

i use the bike more for weekend riding as i don't use it as a daily commuter.
