The Cagiva V-Raptor 650 is an uncompromising street fighter that wears its engineering credentials on its sleeve, with a radical, reptilian design that’s as angular as it is attention-grabbing.
Underneath its stripped-back bodywork lies a potent engine package, borrowed from Suzuki’s renowned SV650. The 645cc L-twin motor boasts oversquare dimensions and is capable of spinning safely to 10,000rpm, producing a claimed 52kW of power.
The Mikuni BDSR39 CV carbs provide instant response and a strong, evenly spread mid-range torque, making the V-Raptor 650 an absolute blast to ride. Its riding experience is characterized by an aggressive, in-your-face attitude that’s sure to leave you grinning from ear to ear.
