Raptor Chapter

Hello everyone!

Just bought a silver 2001 V-Raptor here in Sweden. Got it from the original owner, who's only put a slightly surreal 7000 km on it in the course of those years. Slightly modified back-end, and "antennas" removed (but in a box). Otherwise completely original, down to the two (!) mint condition Cagiva keyrings Yes, I'm very happy thus far.

The only thing I'm vaguely considering doing is looking at options for a raised seat, or other ways of accommodating my 195 cm frame slightly better. Not a big deal though, I won't be touring and I love so many other things about the bike that I'll happily live with feeling a little bit oversized at times.

Oh, and I'm taking orders for those beers now, of course!

Welcome to the asylum! Tequila sunrise here please xx

Attaching a bit of a crap picture. Must take some better ones...

Awesome, bars open now

Welcome and the bike looks good.
Oh and I will have a pint of lager please.

Welcome in small beer and a large brandy chaser thanks

nice bike

Welcome in a dram of the finest malt for me thanks!

Welcome aboard, very nice and clean looking bike there. Hope you'll feel at home here we do seem to have a few Scandinavians which is good fun.

Seems a lot of the tall folks quite like adding rear triangles to jack up the back end, search on here for triangles and I think you should find some ideas.

Oh yes, and I'll have a mega-stein of pear cider, please, I'm bloody knackered after a tough few days so a large stiff drink should see me about ready for bed.
