There is a member on chinariders named 'maf9...' (don't remember his full name), who has one of the Spyders, and loves it. The raptor, as you show, is also a police bike, and there is a video from one of the police departments in Georgia (USA, not Eastern Europe) who ordered a few for patrol (not pursuit, :biggrin:) shown on the Pag website.
I like the bike, and think it has the "goods" but is a little pricey for a Chinese bike, IMO, although Pag is supposed to be high in the quality department. I don't think it is a rip-off, however, just a little more than I would want to spend.

These bikes are surely Regal Raptor with a different name branding?

04-29-2009, 10:58 AMI was just going to say that. In the UK they're marketed with the ancient and respected name of AJS by these people:

They're also on the market in Europe under the 'Regal Raptor' name. They are absolutely at the top of the range of Chinese 250 cruiser bikes that we have here. The paint work and chrome is very good compared to some. There have been small problems reported among the scores of RR riders in our club, but nothing serious. I rode 15,000km on my first air-cooled model and this year I bought this water-cooled version. Runs very nicely, though not really built to cruise on European motorways that have 130km/h speed limits. Much more suited to B roads.
Here's a few pics of mine:

One of our friends had a liquid cooled 250 Regal Raptor, he never covered it, even with China's acid rain the bike stayed in very good condition. I really think that if you are going to get a Chinese cruiser these are the best you can get.
I'd love to try their CB250 'style' bikes, 233-330cc? To see if their 15-17KW is really use-able on my local kart track, or if they have problems applying themselves due to poor transmission, shocks or weight balance. Or whether, if they have any issues, the bikes can be modded around these issues.
Forchetto are these Honda twin cylinder copies really 'rip-offs', or are the Honda patents are 'out of patent'?Last edited by ZMC888; 04-30-2009 at 12:00 AM.

Pete, do any of your members have the street (NAC) style bikes?
How highly do your members rate Regal Raptors? Is everyone happy with them?
Do any of your members have experience with Jap bikes of a similar size and style? How well do Regal Raptors compare with them?
Forchetto, in the UK these are sold under AJS, a respected brand, but these days there are lots of old western motorcycle brands with rights holders wanting to sell the brands names, such as Indian, Ariel etc Also some companies which have an uncertain financial future possibly Cagiva, does it mean that much if a Chinese company buys the rights to a historic brand?Without consciousness, space and time are nothing; in reality you can take any time -- whether past or future -− as your new frame of reference.

Hi,
I'll try and answer as best I can:

How highly do your members rate Regal Raptors? Is everyone happy with them?
Do any of your members have experience with Jap bikes of a similar size and style? How well do Regal Raptors compare with them?
I suppose the main gripe is lack of power. But, on the other hand, most of us change the gearing a little and get a more smooth experience riding in 5th gear. And anyway, you can't beat 30+ kilometres to the litre!!
Cheers
Pete
PS Quite a few of the members' bikes have been customized:
