Raider
MSRP $13,780
Yamaha taps 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 'Liner line.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. While it keeps the EPA happy, it does cost the bike a little in its growl.

My 2009 Star Raider Raven is kick-ass. I have removed the passegenger seat and replaced it with a gothic chromed out luggage rack, lowered it 2 inches, removed the factory beavertail assembly and replaced it with an intergrated LED tail ight and turn signal assembly, installed cobra swept exhaust and installed a fat 240 on the rear. The best view is from the rear and that's fine because the 113 cubic inch v-twin will leave most watching me leave you behind, I take on all comers. This is a great bike and I highly recommend purchasing one. In fact when I visit the Harely shop people check my ride out over others. More mods to come.....see ya!!!

THIS BIKE IS BAD TO THE BONE. IT HAS MORE POWER THAN WAHT IS NEEDED. THE LOOKS HAVE NECKS TURN EVERYWHERE YOU GO. I HAVE 08 CANDY RED WITH ALOT OF CHROME AND ALOT OF CHANGE. THE OEM WHEELS HAVE BEEN CHROME THE EXHUAST HAS BEEN CHANGED. AMD GETTING READY TO PUT A 240 ON THE REAR
