2001 Cagiva Raptor 650 Review

Paul Johnston takes a look at a great alternative to a superbike - Cagiva Raptor 650, which is just as much fun to ride but far less expensive. Paul goes through it's many positives as well as pointing out some of it's drawbacks, to help you decide whether or not this is the bike for you.

By the way, even though the show is older: The new 650 with fuel injection also had an oil cooler.

The 650 has a black faced rev counter,the 1000 a white one.

I used to have one of these when I lived in Italy. Amazing bike. Was also my first bike after only owning 50cc scooters. Bad decision on my part. I was only 19. Crashed it fast...
