You may know that the TL1000 motor was fitted into an lighteight MV chassis, styled by Galluzzi (Our Monster man)) and marketed by Cagiva as the Raptor. OK, so the Suzi motor was softened a bit for the purpose but it makes a very fine bike, especially when the suspension is tweaked. One sits next to the S4R in the garage and I'm looking forward to comparing the two theoretically-similar bikes!

Roll on Spring...
