Raptor updates for 05

Cagiva`s Raptor 650 is updated for 2005 – and the firm promises more of them will be available in the UK.

Only 50 came in last year due to supply problems. This year the Suzuki SV650-powered bike gets a wind-deflector around the clocks, bars set lower and further back, and a silver-painted frame and wheels.

Expect to pay around 5000 pounds. The 1000cc version will also get the cowl around the clocks.

More in MCN – out on Wednesday, September 15.
