First Ride: 2008 Star Raider Motorcycle Review

[israfales85]

im thinking of getting a night train but this bike kinda looks like a n.t. but i know this bike is way better so time will tell

[Tophairybutt]

The tall yank needs to learn the proper way to hold a microphone when he is speaking. One should never hold the microphone directly in front of his stupid yank spitting mouth. It should be held to the side or underneath. What a jerk! The other thing is this Yamaha is probably a reliable bike, but too bad it looks similar to one of those ugly hardly davisins! If somebody were to buy one of these, it would be clear the person was a homosexual hardly davisin lover.

@busuncle23 I gathered that from your comment .. however 'lifter problem' tells me nothing .. do you specifically know what this issue is or is it 'just what you heard' ?

[synkuk]

@busuncle23 Lifter problems ???

Obviously you've something to say ......so .....

[starguard]

Is this the Japanese answer to the Harley Night Train?

[Ehrokyn]

Looks good... I'm learning how to ride on my brother's VTX 1300 and I'm planning to buy one of these motorcycles: The Suzuki Boulevard M109R, the C109R, The VTX 1300 or this Raider S. I don't know which one is better for me since I'm learning how to ride motorcycles now.. Any suggestions?? Thanks and God bless you all!

[JDBouhs]

I'm looking for a new bike and am stuck between the Raider and the Thunderbird. No HD...you just don't get enough value, HP and torque for yer money, no matter what HDDB says. Ya can't compare the Street Bob (he obviously bought) with the Raider.....the Street Bob is more like the Stryker.

[aphasia1972]

awesome bike and what a great sound with stock pipes wooow better than many HD for sure yeah i want one starraider S 1800ccm

[MixMasterApu]

Cool video and information but your audio is almost so terrible I want to watch the video on mute.

[impalaman1962]

GREAT MOTORCYCLE

[playgoog]

Looks like youtube had enough of HDDB being an ass - so much hate...dang

[MasterJediKyleKatarn]

@playgoog It looks like he got tired of trolling and closed the account. It says "account closed".

[uke1]

Be a boring world if we all drove Harleys,I like em though,but there are lots of cool bikes out there and all are FUNNN to ride.

[HarleyDavidsonDaBest]

Also this is the only username i have. All the others are closed. COWARD.

[chineseHD]

Really? you troll here too?? Even using using your same lame Vic comments? You ever ride or just troll and knock EVERY other brand other than Hardley Americanson's?? I just sold my bike and been looking at ALL brands. You must be terribly insecure riding that 'Icon"..HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

[HarleyDavidsonDaBest]

Lisa is from california who lost her job from a phone company i heard from being rude to customers True story.

[HarleyDavidsonDaBest]

It was a honda vt1800 wow.

[uracyclops]

harley broken down on the side of the road @ 3:40

[HarleyDavidsonDaBest]

Google..( yamaha raider bad lifters)

LMAO!!!

[Ehrokyn]

@uracyclops Jajajaajajaja lmao!!!

[HarleyDavidsonDaBest]

Why does anyone desire a yamaha raider bike that sounds like a moped, looks like melted chewing gum, is REALLY uncomfortable to ride (though Buffy will never admit it), is made of 2-liter pop bottles, and usually painted queer colors?

REAL men rides Harley Davidson and Are legends. All chicks love a little shakin' in the nether regions!

[faahQu]

Disregard anything HDDB says. All he does is go around to all of the metric bike vids and posts his ignorant comments. He believes in paying $20,000+ for a bunch of scrap metel on two wheels that says harley davidson.

[HarleyDavidsonDaBest]

I only paid $12,500 out the door. STUPID!!

[HarleyDavidsonDaBest]

Metal not Metel - This is why you like foreign shit that rust!! because you are stupid!!

[faahQu]

Yes you got me there. I spelled metal wrong. Thats very first grade of you to point that out. I feel like such an ass now. You just embarrassed the hell out of me by calling me stupid.

[hydroboy35th]

I like the honda FURY better!

[Ironwind1972]

Both are good looking bikes, but the fury only has 56 RWHP. I'm 6'5, so I need a bigger more powerful bike like the raider.

[JesterNM22]

You go ahead and get that plastic honda, i'll stick with the raider and eat the fury for lunch at 1/2 throttle lol. The honda is a weak, poor built bike. shaft drive on a chopper? what evea! There is absolutly NO comparo. in the 2. Go read Cycle world's comparison, they picked the raider hands down no question. So would I lol

[fatony26]

so to me it looks like a modern replacement for the virago

[langston1aladdin]

is it 2 or 3 years in a row, beat out the HD also!!!!!! No 1 rated crusier...... over honda, HD, Victory, etc.

[solinito]

It is a beautiful morcycle but i do not know why the cost of the accesories for ALL Yamahas is more expensive than H:D . i have both motorcycles and i don´t understand. I´am from Mexico an here the prices are to expensive than USA but stil HD i cheaper.

[merlin1093]

o man this location is right by my parents house. ( Live oak CYN.) cooks corner to R.S.M. short 10 min ride, but a good one. lots of movies filmed there too.

[Ratridez]

I wonder if Yamaha fixed that overheating problem for 2009 ?

[JACKSONAXER]

Got my 2009 ordered up , cant wait to cruise!

[1903HarleyDavidson]

Little exspensive for a yamaha but, i would choose this over the victory fag bike.

[wavingmoon]

Got my '09 Raider, nothing bad to say about this bike!

[Jaybird289]

Do you guys ever say anything bad about a bike?

[HDAHOLIC]

$13,750 for plastic - And get this it weighs over 700lbs how?

[ITbiker2020]

go fuck your anus, shit head fuck

[fifiboulette1]

i have a roadstar no plastic...

[brizzols07]

hopefully my bike in a year or two.
