I had a 2014 Stryker in blue and really liked the bike and planned on keeping the bike to the end of my riding days until I started seeing this raider at a dealer near me and couldn't help myself and traded Stryker in for the big brother. If I didn't do that I would still own her. Yamaha makes great bikes although they stop making these cruisers and others as I suppose they just didn't sell the way they wanted to.
Are you saying 1304cc isn't 80ci? Because 1304cc is 79.574962306400ci... How about we just round that to 80ci. Or are you saying the engine is too small? I rode this bike and the power actually surprised me. Take your 103 out and let's see who wins. This Stryker may surprise you.
did 30000 on my first one not one problem , went to gsx 750 , fjr 1300 then a raider but i just came back to this 2011 great bike it's not a sportie just a really nice bike to chill and light to light fun
No body is trying to b like Harley..this is better than a fix or repair monthly honk of shaking shit ass Harley I said it..to each it's own if you like to vibrate so bad that you're voice tremble, or if like a bike that always leaks oil around the engine or if you want too pay for a name by all means follow the in crowd get a charlie ferguson..I prefer looks and reliability..
I don't know what kind of Harley's you've been riding but mine has been very reliable and does not leak oil like you're implying. Your statement is way off! And, "NO", I'm not a die hard Harley fan...if it leaked oil and was very unreliable then I would say so.
seriously? even today hd is way behind the the times mechanically. hd have good paint and look nice but that is all. i own a 09 nightster and at 50,000 miles already needs top end rebuilt. my 84 honda 900 sport with 180,000 still running well. should have never bought the harley but thought by now they would be better.
Dammit Yamaha, why dont these bikes ever show up here in the Philippines? We need more cruiser options ad we only gotthe vulcan 900 and the bolt. Only Harley Davidson offers more options and I aint spending money on guaranteed future repairs for those overpriced pieces of junk.
I think y'all r over reacting when it comes to the girl....she not even selling sex ....she simply reading the facts..do y'all rather have a pot belly grey hair old geezer reading the same facts...That's some biased bullshit...smdh...good review nice bike...
8 year old comment lol but still as someone who's been on a few s&s 113's i can say that 80ci isn't a joke. Sure you can't flip the bike out from under you but its enough power without making you shit everytime you goose it

Maybe somebody at the mothership there might be able to convince Yamaha Australia to bring these wonderful machines down here..
Sent this pile of awesome to europe now!

nightrod looks great. wish that there first liquid cooled engine was built by them instead of porche though.

Stryker? I don't even know her but am smitten by that Yamaha kitten. 💝
Everyone wants to be like HD!!! ... Funny stuff!
I don't have nothing that looks like this bike give me a break Holly's nothing but money and a name and the name was lost a long time ago
YAMAHA BRING THIS TO AUSTRALIA. IM SICK OF NOT BEING ABLE TO BUY ANY OF YOUR BEST BIKES

Yo sweetheart. No matter how HOT you are, you should NEVER EVER EVER stand in front of the bike. This ain't about you, its about the BIKE.
She should not be a star rep. Funny how the company that builds them doesn't understand V STARS GREATNESS. They probably all ride trikes.

😆
80 cubic inch? Seriously USA..
Yup, you can have the girl, there a dime a dozen on any street corner, I'll take the bike.
Tim Soroski but but...I would like both.
If HD made this bike, it will cost 20 or 30 G's. HD doesn't make a style like this.
Shame on Yamaha
80 cubic inch? what a joke
