Yamaha Raider description

Design

Yamaha tapped the custom world for styling cues on its 2008 Star Raider including a chopped-out rake, raised handlebars, and the widest tire yet in its lineup. The chrome 2-1-2 down-swept exhausts have an EXUP valve that aims to boost torque in the 2500-3500 rpm range and includes environmentally-friendly twin catalyzers and an oxygen sensor.

Options Included

It includes many custom extras such as Power Commander fuel management system, tachometer, low windscreen, chrome and detachable passenger seat backrest.

Rider Experience

The Yamaha Raider is the closest handling experience I could find to a sport bike in the cruiser category.  With rider and passenger, it has power to spare.  Very comfortable for trips.  Makes a strong statement riding around town.  Rock solid Yamaha mechanical reliability.  Classic chopper styling.

Marco Melandri captured his third win of the season, the Ducati 1199 Panigale scored its first podium while Sylvain Guintoli regained the championship lead despite dislocating his collarbone days before the race. But the big news at Moscow Raceway of course was the tragic death of Andrea Antonelli in the World Supersport race.
