Please dont shoot me, whats a Cagiva Raptor 1000 03 like
A bloke around the corner from me has one he is thinking of selling. I dont know much about them except they have the TL1000 lump. Is the bike any good and worth a look?

They're great bikes - I had one. Definatelt worth a look anyways They handle and go really well One thing to look out for is the back brake - they are notoriously rubbish and the discs can crack on them. Let us know how you get on

That's a shame you couldn't test ride it They really are fun bikes to ride. I'd say it was the most fun bike I've had. Still remember my test ride before I bought mine - had a grin a mile wide

Had a go on a V raptor when they were introduced (our training school was based in a Cagiva Dealer). I was smitten, but have never been able to afford one. They seem to handle well, they have lots of grunt, but dont know what the Italian quality will be like.

Mister C - I drove the local cagiva dealer mad by always drooling over them and never being able to afford one at the time Then one came up at the right time and it was bye-bye SV and didn't regret it one bit. |

TL lump with wonderful handling.
MMMM I can seee it calling me in the shed again ...I have the spare key....mwahahahah, but alas can't find the spare disc lock one! Andy...the pillion seat is like a plank of wood, very uncomfortable. However, I think if Matt had been less of a stingy bugger and had a gel pad put in the rear at the same time as the pilot, then it would be perfect. When you bought them new you got a choice of extra seat cowl or grabrail, Matts had the grabrail.
