Cagiva V-Raptor

2001

I have been so impressed with the original Raptor that when this V-Raptor and an Xtra-Raptor come up for sale in 2025 I got them both.

Unlike the first V-Raptor, which had been modified to take higher bars and a rack etc., this one is in standard spec. Only the Bellypan and Screen added as extras, plus it had only covered 5000 miles from new.

Excepting changing the Tyres, Oil & Filter and needing new Forks Seals then not much had been done to this one as yet.

Picture above taken by previous keeper, the ones lower down without the seat pod taken by me when I was out for a blast.

These were designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi, same chap that designed the original Ducati Monsters.

They are unlike anything else at the time.

Created at a time when Cagiva, Ducati & MV Agusta were all part of the same company. The bike is badged Cagiva, frame is basged MV Agustsa and most of components are Ducati based.
