Hello from Germany

[Trailbikeryder]

I live in Germany and I am 42. I ride a Skyteam V-Raptor 250. I have been riding it since september 2012. I also have a Vulcan 800 which I have been riding for 16 years. Before that I had a GPZ 500 and a XS 400. In between I also had a Honda Zoomer 50 (honda ruckus 50) and Suzuki Bandit 650.
I bought my Skyteam at a dealer here in Gemany. I have put more than 2000 Km on it now. Even though it has almost no power vs. the other bikes I have or had, it's the one that brings the most fun riding..
Maybe other people in this Forum have a V-Raptor 125/250?

Greets, Eric

Welcome. I know we have at least one other V-Raptor owner here. Someplace in Eastern Europe.

Welcome!

Krasi_BG from Sofia, Bulgaria owns one. I like those bikes, and I wish we had them here.

The V-Raptor is based on the Suzuki Van Van, but with a 230cc Honda clone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_RV_125_VanVan

V-Raptor looks like a TW200 Yamaha...
But Suzuki did make a RV200 in the later years , which is like the TW200 Yamaha & V-Raptor..Only ever seen pics of them..never imported out here..

As a TW200 owner, I can tell you that the V-Raptor is similar, but not a clone. The V-Raptor bears a striking resemblance to the Van Van 125.

Hello, Trailbikeryder and welcome. As Weld pointed I too have a Skyteam V-Raptor 250. And I'm also quite happy with it so far, though the mileage is not much (yet).

There is also a French owner around here, but he hasn't posted in a while I think.

Well thank you for the warm welcome. Originally I was looking for a TW200 which I saw in one of the "Bourne" films. Then I came over the Skyteam, which I am very happy with. The snow here started to melt. Hope it gets warmer soon here, so I can ride again.

I will try to post some pictures in the Pictures/video section. I also made several review and info videos on the Raptor.
Some Forums don't want Links to be posted.

Is it ok to post youtube links?
