[ i hate americans they;re allways trying to make you have a nice day !

well guys once again some very interesting and diverse views, and some slightly biased. which brings me to the point of my reply and my choice of steed. cagiva raptor xtra. it just does everything right for me with no quirks. handling, braking,performance are all world class, the grunt and smoothness of the T L engine is exceptional for me in my experience. the reputation for reliabity is as the records show.. [ used by four manufacturers in nine models ] and the look is appealing to most,, not much custom work could be done. I recently did a tour with a mixed group. 2 ev californians. 1 mandello rosso, 1 mk 3 le mans, 1 748 ducati.. and they all covered the trip 1300 ks with no problems, and kept a smile on all our faces.. this to me is the most important thing! [ ride em, dont hide em ] ciao GAZZA..
