My Skyteam V-Raptor 250 from Germany
Hi, here are some pictures.
This one was taken on the first day I had the bike. In the background you see the German "Autobahn". I can drive as fast as I want with there with my Skyteam!! Then I decided to change the looks of the bike... Then once again I decided to change again!! I am a big fan of flames.... I made the design my self to fit the tank size exactly. |

Cool bike and great pictures!
It reminds me of the Honda Fat Cats of the mid 80's, IIRC.

Unfortunately it is not allowed to ride on most dirt roads in Germany. I live in area where there is lots of forrests, but there are high fines if you get caught riding there. The gravel roads where it is allowed are kept secrect by the riders that know the area. If it would become public, riders from everywhere would come and eventually it would get blocked for motor vehicles. Thats why you won't find any trail infos in German forums.

Kansas gravel roads are county maintained. We don't have alot of paved roads. Majority of the people who live outside of city limits live on a gravel road. They are graded and traveled by regular automobiles. Just normal life in Kansas.
We can ride ATVs on county roads without any registration.

I hope it never comes to that in the US but there is a 'Green Movement' underway to close off many public lands to public use. :evil:

Unfortunately, being in the EU means that there are attempts to restrict these and other things here, and be "like in Europe". |

Your Skyteam V-Raptor is a beautiful motorcycle! Thanks for posting the nice photographs from Germany.

I am a big fan of this particular Skyteam, although they are not available in the US. :? However, when I mentioned this on Skyteam's Facebook page on a thread, the guy who monitors Skyteam's page said they are, in fact, going through certification for the US :!:

I uploaded some new videos on youtube.
One vid is about the new folding foot pegs I put on. The other vid you see me riding around. |
