Pictures Of The Raptor

Ok so I enjoy showing off the raptor. I thought it a good idea to add some of the images taken of the bike recently. So here they are. You will notice that I have added my little saying "Life's Short Pray Hard". I had the same written on a previous Bandit 1200 that I owned, and wanted it back on this bike, because it represents how crazy the bike really is. Oh, and I had to add a picture of the rear wheel. Yep as you can see it's all being used..... Have also added a silver mesh to the radiator as a guard. The mirrors are off the Benelli TNT and they look great. Will have to take some more images soon in that I have made some more changes to the bike.

November 11 2007 Melbourne Italian Motorcycle Show

Well here again, time for the Italian motorcycle show based in Melbourne Australia. This time the two Xtra Raptors were on display once more, and again we were moved to the "Others" section of the Italian bikes...... Not impressed... But hey at least we had loads of people coming and taking pictures with the bikes. It's just so out there. Very cool. Hope you like the included images. Note these were taken early in the morning. Take a close look at those rear tyres. You will notice that the rubber has been used to the very edge on both bikes. Hey, you pay for a tyre so why not use the whole thing....

My Xtra Raptor - Cagiva Motorcycle

Here are some of the pictures of my bike. As you can see, lots of carbon fibre. The design of this bike is very much a love hate relationship. Initially I hated the look of this bike, and didn't take much notice of it's unique design at first. Now it has grown on me. The best aspect of this machine is the fact that only 1000 were made. Exotica is the term I use.

The bike has been fitted with a Staitune *Techlusion) computer to enhance performance. A set of Staitune aftermarket exhausts, a scott oiler and a Ventura rack. The front light has been changed to a more effective powerful globe.





























I would have to say that its design gives the bike something special. It's tough street fighter stance mixed with all the Xtra Raptor goodies. I can't promote this bike enogh. Just Fantastic. Hope you like the pictures.

Images from the Italian Bike Show

All the below images were taken by Terry. They are all from the Italian Bike show held in Melbourne Australia November 12th 2006. A great time to take down the X Raptor and show off something a little different. As usual most people don't know what to think, when they see the X Raptor. A real love hate relationship I guess.

I as you can already guess, love the bike. Different and still wild. I believe that it's one of the first true street fighter bikes, that comes standard.
