Default Cagiva Raptor, Suzuki TL, Naked SV1000

I'm looking to get some more bikes. As per the title, at the moment I'm looking on Autotrader, MCN, Gumtree, ebay and a few local freeads. So any other recommendations of places to look?

Ducati spring to mind if its V-twin power you want.

Yes they are!

Raptor has a low seat height as well if you're a bit vertically challenged.

Perfect for those who aren't too. Seat height was never a priority when I got one. However, it was apparent how it's accessible to shorter of leg people it is when Bibio sat on mine and got both feet flat on the floor. As standard.

Out of the choices though I would go for the SV1000. No reason. Just my preference.

The only one's I have seen were Matt SV's and Supervox's. Both lovely bits of kit.

There may have been a reason why I mentioned that

Anyway...



The raptor is clearly better looking

The Raptor is much nicer bike, but the SV1000 waa what I can budget for at the moment. Scoobs yes, thats me. Though the Raptor is what Jax wants really. I'd get a Duke or Aprilia if I could aford them.
