Yamaha's Star Raider bike provides the power and looks of a custom bike so often see on TV these days, but at an affordable and with the piece of mind that comes from Japanese reliability.

@matrox

yamaha-star, kawasaki- vulcan, suzuki-boulevard

it;s a sub mark for bike series you idiot.

so dont have to say " can i see that yamaha XVSP003.5SQX 650". when u can say "can i see that V-Star 650" which makes it's very easy for people to look for a bike!!!

rickbar123, go for a ride on the Roadliner you will like it. By the way 43% of the parts on the HD's are from over sea's. Safe riding,,

After owning this motorcylce for a year, traveling Seattle, Moab, LA and back, and over 13,000 miles I gotta say its a fun, fun ride! Thanks for being able to put a 240 on the rear without changing rims, handles like a dream. 113cu. in., That's right Baby! My power can kick your power anyday...bring it! More Chrome is on my shopping list this season. See ya on the road!!

@jgs115 . I own a 2009 Raider S. I customized it the way I wanted it very easily myself. Looks unbelievable and also performs way better than any real custom could ever even think of in power and cornering. I'll take you on any day against your REAL custom cruiser. This bike was designed right and you should think of buying one. Maybe you'll even save 10 or 15 thousand dollars.

@krogshede

you my friend :)

becuz Yamaha is on the top of it and the fore it is a sub mark of yamaha .

you say separate brand? quvote from ur post "Yamaha announced the creation of Star Motorcycles"

[krogshede]

@KarloT7 >> In 1994 Yamaha announced the creation of Star Motorcycles, a new standalone brand name for its cruiser series of motorcycles in the American market. So it`s a separate brand,- and NOT a sub mark ..

So who`s the idiot now ? :-))

Best bike in the class. Can pick up a used one for under 10K. A few mods later, you gotta a sweet ride. 113cu on an aluminum frame!
