presentation of the 1000 RAPTOR 2001
The Italians have long been renowned for the quality of their chassis and design; the Japanese for the excellence of their engines. With this in mind, Cagiva's engineers attempted a marriage of reason and passion... and here's the result: the Raptor.
This offspring doesn't pull any punches. It's a sports roadster with a silhouette that's both original and aggressive - a machine in the new line of machines equipped with the mills of big sports bikes(Ducati S4, Honda X-11, MV-Agusta Brutale...). The trellis frame houses the Suzuki 1000 TLS's highly successful twin. This extraordinarily supple, lively, vibration-free twin climbs the revs with gusto. It gives the Raptor great performance and acceleration. The rigorous chassis allows you to exploit the full potential of this bubbly motorcycle. Equipped as standard with sport tires, the machine immediately gets you into the swing of things with striking efficiency. Corner changes are made with ease, the machine being both light and agile. A pleasure to ride.
Perfection is out of this world, but the Raptor's shortcomings are disappointing for an Italian. Although the brakes are original Brembo, they would be more appreciable with better bite and more power. As for the finish, an effort needs to be made, especially on this machine, which is frankly polished in terms of design.

The fact remains that it's getting harder to find parts. But the price-pleasure ratio of this bike is unbeatable. It offers the opportunity to make modifications at a very contained price. Rating : 4/5 Respond to rocket
