well according to specs I've just looked at, it says 805 mm seat height compared to SV 800mm. Well I think its lower than the SV, but its a completely different riding position too.

Be nice to your new Italian friend/fiend and dump those H***a CBF look-a-likey silencers and get some twin boom-boom sticks on there.

Only had a seat on one , Kitkats (that there is an X tho?) and my thoughts were low, light and license goodbye. It also had the concussion of mortars if you were close by. Nice.

Say hello to big twin slow motion monos, you will not be able to help yersel.

Kitkats is the naked Raptor

Mine is a V Raptor

The Xtra is like mine, but everything on it is carbon fibre. Its like a carbon colour paint too. Dark and sinsiter looking!
I wanted one, but more rare than mine, as there were only 1000 worldwide.
