To an Italian style is everything, form and function follows style, it doesn't proceed it. Check out what we thought of this bike in our 2001 Cagiva Raptor First Ride.

2001 Cagiva Raptor

Tach and Guages: The tach and guages adhere to the namesake of the bike with clearly visible controls and the angular styling of a prehistoric beast.

Cagiva paid attention to all the details when building the Raptor. Everything has been well thought out and the control and levers are a good example of their attention to detail.

The Raptor is more than just performance and style. Take a peek at the chassis. It's not only stylish, but built to last as well. This chassis is as tough as nails.

If you've got a big, powerful engine, then you'd better have the brakes to slow it down. Cagiva has all the stopping power one would need. A handful of brakes brings you to a halt in a hurry.

The Raptor's styling certainly draws crowds just like a good Italian bike should.

Cagiva is known for style and if there's one thing on the Raptor that sets it apart from other stock bikes, it's the liberal use of carbon fiber throughout the bike.

Cagiva employed the mechanical wizardry of Suzuki and dropped a 105 horsepower TL Twin into this bike so the muscle would match the style. Cagiva clearly wants the best of both worlds and it's pretty obvious they achieved their goal with the Raptor.

The naked look has been taken to extremes on the Raptor. Get underneath and look at the belly, there's literally nothing between the Cagiva and a harsh world.
