What modern sports bikes have you ridden?

[DebK]

Hey DebK - they produced two models. The larger one was 1000 cc and generally called the Cagiva Raptor and its "little brother" the 650cc.
For some reason the smaller engine sized model earned the appellation "Baby Raptor".
...
Better still, organise a ride on one Admire the unique style details. ...

You will love your Italian - but he will throw you off if you don't treat him right !

Understood BestFun. Once I get my full licence I'll be trying a few models out.

How's this for the smallest of the baby Cagiva's => http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...on-9825611.htm

Sounds & looks like a fun wee alternative to my scoot.

That wee fella would require some serious commitment to get the best out of it. I reckon a 400cc four or a 600-750cc twin would be a better idea - after all we know you ain't scared of speed

But seriously I've ridden a Mito and they are fun but you have to have them on the power band all the time or it just slows down and topples on its side - hence the 7 speed gearbox.

I can't see the point in paying euro money for a Raptor when it is just the Suzzie engine
