The Cagiva Raptor 650 is an intriguing entry in the middleweight motorcycle market. Its 90-degree V-twin engine, derived from the Suzuki SV650, boasts DOHC configuration and 4 valves per cylinder for a rich, throaty exhaust note.
A key aspect of the Raptor’s appeal lies in its handling dynamics. Weighing in significantly lighter than its TL1000-powered sibling, this bike is more agile and responsive to steering inputs, while its twin 298mm front disc brakes provide ample stopping power.
While it may not match the raw power of its larger counterpart, the Raptor 650 makes up for it with its nimble handling and more manageable ergonomics.
