YAMAHA RAIDER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Japanese cruiser bikes are the most beautiful in the world !!!!!

[Mrjake1661]

All i have got to say is 20011 victory vegas 12k.

[calexander230]

For my money, I'll buy the Raider. I wouldn't do much to it for a while until I pay it off. So to me initial value of the bike is more important than what it can end up as in the end.

Raider S in Black and lots of chrom please!

[djpowers007]

who cares about resale value? when i buy i bike i dont want to worry about selling it, i wanna ride the crap out of it. the hammer rocks!!!!!!

Im a big fan of the Raider, im American through and through, love Harley, always loved roadsters, would never consider a crotch rocket. But the Raider, sure its not American, but its the best by far, if it were a thing here or there id still go American just to have American but Raider is way more powerful, looks way better, and cheaper than its competitors, its the all around win in my oppinion.

Just not true anymore - I tried to sell my Springer and couldn't get close to 7K for it - so ...yeah - I kept it. NOTHING has value these days - too many used bikes on the market combined with the crappy economy - all the old rules are out the door

i here the harley fans wispering in my ear how much they miss the power of the metrics. i have a roadstar with the 102in and like the quality and power.i have had my eye on the raider since it came out but think ill stay with my roadstar till they come out with more custom pieces for the raider.

The three of these bikes look good and each have good points and bad, but the Harley "rocker c" or any harley for that matter, will hold better re sale value and do so even in the long run. Just one example...look at the old shovel from the 70's, they are still up in the 15's and/or there abouts. I want a bike that if i sell, i will get most of my money back, and the harley does that.

My 2008 VRSCDX night rod special will beat all these. Victory does not sell a motorcycle faster then the new 1250cc vrod. I delt with a victory dealer in so cal and they just said what ever i wanted to hear to get me to buy a victory. after all there hub bub about how much better there bikes were then HD.(price difference is not worth the resale drop). Read past reviews for 2008 power cruiser night rod still better bike all around, looks, power, resale, accessories,

[vstar6969]

HD's may not be as powerful as some of the competition or worth all the money you have to shell out for them but they are solid bikes with components made of metal, not chromed plastic like I see on most metric bikes. A well cared for Harley can last for generations and can be rebuilt over and over again. The raider is like a disposable lighter. Looks good, works great but sooner or later it runs out of butane and you have to throw it away...
