Built around Cagiva's naked motorcycle platform, the 2004 Cagiva V-Raptor 1000 features a 996 cc (60.8 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 105.5 HP (77 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 90.3 Nm (66.6 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 105.9 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the V-Raptor 1000 measures 197 kg (434 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.54 HP/kg (1.87 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 15.2-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
