    Newbee and lookin'

    Hi guys,

    Just moved back to Perth after 12 yrs in USA - yep wish I'd bought a bike or two with me but customs, etc looked like a real pain to navigate.

    Looking for a naked bike - thinking of Buell, Cagiva Raptor, Aprilia, or similar. Want something different thats unusual and looks different. Wanting to get into the used market after talking with a Aprilia Mana 850 owner that put 1100 kms on his bike in 8 wks then had to sell. After paying $15,300 the best offer he got from dealers in Melbourne was $7500! Oouch!

    Anybody got any ideas / leads?

    TIA

    Thanks guys for the warm welcome and the suggestions. I looked at a buell CR in the US - they are amazing. Too much for me

    Funny thing happened today. I'm working in the yard, hear a bike coming down the street (I live in a cul-de-sac and don't get too many bikes...). I wait for it to come by.... It's a Cagiva Raptor!

    Rider turns around at the end of the street, I waive him down to admire bike and chat. Yep, he bought it about 4 wks back thro an PSB online classified. Very nice. He's going back to Taiwan in 6 mths so we swapped phone #'s.

    I hope he calls me next week.... I can't wait
