- Finally I have a new bike after a 7 month break, a 2006 Cagiva Raptor 650ie. Here is the story of why I chose this motorcycle and some modification I have done to the bike so far.
Enjoy!
My wife wants this or the monster 696 for her 1st bike. She likes her bikes like she likes her men, cheap and Italian..😆
Beautiful bike, a sv with all the good stuff the stock sv lacks.
Nice ride Johno, a mate had one these! Now has a Vstrom XT650😎
Kenevan Taylor cheers, vstrom is a great motorcycle
Nice bike. Hopefully you'll have some good adventures on her. I may be doing the reverse journey as I've got my eye on a bike in Christchurch and live just north of Auckland. Shame SH1 is still closed :(
yes, it's a very long detour! Whats the bike your after?
Nice doco Mr Mackie - you have a wicked bike and how great was riding last Sunday !!! PS that black Monster Cafe Racer looks a bit tasty, wink wink :)
Lee Cavalier yes that monster is next on the video edit list 😉
Glad you have finally got a bike again as have been missing your trips around NZ as I am from the UK. Anyway enjoy your new bike and ride safe Cheers.
alan lake thanks will do
If it has the Suzuki engine, then why not just buy a Suzuki and save all the parts problems with an Italian bike. I had an SV1000 and loved it. Hope you found the gear change pedal ok (same side as your BMW) good luck with it, enjoy.
I have never heard of Cagiva so it has an sv 650 engine in it?
Getzopurple yep they owned Ducati once and mv Agusta, yes has the sv650 motor the 1000 version had the TL1000 engine same frame too
is similar engine but cagive 650ie has a diferent maps end short gear.... at the end better then sv 650
Hey, beautiful bike. I own the same 2006 model, same color. I bought the bike in 2018 when was looking for a Ducati Monster 620/695 just came across with her. No regrets at all as it's an awesome bike.
Just hard to find some original parts. (e.g the previous owner bent the gear change pedal a little bit and I still couldn't get hold of another one, non-aftermarket version.)
:)
Hope you didn't have too much trouble finding the shifter this time ; )
strangers passing in the street hahah not this time 😉
Nice one Jonathan, might see some more vids from you now.

Always been a huge fan of the raptor. Wish i could get one state side.

Oh I owe two of them now and they has demaged sliders also. 18kkm and 30kkm.

Jonathan Mackie oh Yes. I crash ed on first one and have to buy second for parts.. front, sets etc.
Still worth it :)
