They were all so good with their individual characteristics. It’s almost like making love to beautiful women of different types. It was simply a beautiful experience each time.

Not too sure if I could own a bike with such a name though... "Brutale" yes, but not "Baby Raptor"
Someday we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject.

Ah, so it's just a Cagiva Raptor. Crack me on the head & call me Egg. Slowly learning to recognise bike types & flava's & learnt another tonight.
Egg, over and out for the night. Getting sleepy.

Test rode an "03 Yamaha YZF600 yesterday and thought "what a beast!" Unfortunately I couldn't imagine riding it for 2+ hours (or even 1 hour) without serious aches and pains...felt like I was in a race ride position hunching over the tank and ready to rocket to the moon! I like fast sportsbikes but they must be comfortable for commuting and long rides.

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".
Not indeed, "baby" as in bald-headed nipple gnasher !! (ooops, sorry Spank, no offence)
but baby as in smaller cc rating and absolutely as much fun.....
The story behind the development and design of the two models is very interesting and well worth reading. If I still had the links I'd provide them, but they're gone from my computer now. There are also magazine articles and such.
Perhaps SPMan would give you the contacts, if you asked him.
Better still, organise a ride on one
You will love your Italian - but he will throw you off if you don't treat him right !

It was a close run thing with the GS though.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
