The 2011 Star Stryker comes in three different color schemes including Raven,complete with a host of blacked-out components.

Star Motorcycles joins the mid-size custom cruiser market with the introduction of its 2011 Stryker, injecting its latest bike with plenty of rake and a low-slung saddle to accompany its 1304cc V-Twin. Enjoy our gallery then be sure to read our 2011 Star Stryker First Ride article.

The Star Stryker has a low-slung seat that places riders down, in and ready to ride.

Our test of the 2011 Star Stryker began in beautiful downtown Austin, Texas.

With a 26.4-inch seat height, the Stryker's seat is the lowest in the Star line.

The Stryker feels light and has a zippy engine for a 1300.

The factory-custom styling of the Stryker looks right at home cruising the boulevard at night.

With a four-gallon tank and Yamaha's estimated 40 mpg, the Stryker has about a 160-mile range, enough for riders to head out on their favorite rural road comfortably.

The Stryker sources a 1304cc, 60-degree V-Twin utilizing an OHC arrangement and four-valves per cylinder.

Star kept the bars of the Stryker tidy with a single instrument gauge.

You know you're in Texas when...

We took the Stryker for a 125-mile run through the Texas Hill Country to gather our first ride impressions.

The tail section of the Stryker is no-nonsense.

A detachable windscreen, passenger backrest and highway bars are but a few of the 60 accessories already available for the Stryker.

The Stryker is planted in sweepers but the 40-degrees of rake is evident when conducting low-speed manuevers.

The Stryker's engine comes straight from the V Star 1300, but has a different airbox, mufflers and mapping.

The 2011 Star Stryker has comfortable ergos that encourage riders to get out of town.

Forward-mounted controls give riders room to stretch out their legs and allows for a fairly generous lean angle as well.

A pair of right thumb switches (Select and Reset) above the starter button allow you to access the minimalist LCD for speedometer, two tripmeters a clock and a fuel gauge.

A single-pin crankshaft and dual counterbalancers keep the Stryker loping right along with nominal vibes.

Star claims it re-designed the dual mufflers of the 2-1-2 arrangement used on the 2011 Stryker.
