Hi All,
Just bought a 2001 Cagiva V-Raptor and am really enjoying it. Always fancied one of these, great styling almost like a Katana with a TL1000 engine, two of my favourite bikes, can't be bad. It handles superbly and the engine is fantastic, it has a Power Commander fitted.
I also ride a Yamaha 1200 Super Tenere for long haul stuff and a Bonneville T100 for those rare sunny days in Northumberland.
Cheers
Alan

NOTE; bikes do not have air brakes,lofting the front wheel will have an effect on a bikes braking efficiency.
