| Designed by the same man who penned the Ducati Monster, Miguel Angel Galluzzi, the V-Raptor is a typically Italian design. Based around a steel-tube frame and a rebadged Suzuki TL1000R engine, it is a direct competitor to the Monster 900. The engine is much more powerful than Ducati's air-cooled 900, and Cagiva's fuel-injection and exhaust systems provide smooth power delivery. Strong, grunty power throughout the rev range makes the V-Raptor great fun on the road, catapulting it out of bends, front tyre skipping over the road surface. The obvious difference between this and the Raptor 1000 is the bodywork. A radical nosecone arches over the wide handlebars then merges back into the front of the fuel tank. |
