Raider S
MSRP $14,590
If you want totally custom but would rather ride than wrench, have a look at the Star Raider S. The 113 cubic inch fuel infected V twin engine that powers it takes a back seat to no V twin when it comes to power and reliability. The rest of the chopper inspired Raider S is pure Star, designed and engineered by the worlds best bike builder. Raider S adds chrome accents.

Review
This is the best cruiser, the price makes it even better. It doesn't handle like a sport bike which is why I gave it four stars on that category, but it's a cruiser and it handles exceptionally well for a cruiser. The engine is the best thing about this bike, come on, 113 cubic inches of amazing power. Reliability is why I chose this bike over the Harley. I love Harleys but unfortunately they are falling behind on price and quality. Also, compare the brakes, dual front disc stops this bike like a sport bike. I could have bought any bike and I chose to buy this Raider S, no regrets.

Owned 3 months, 4th bike in big cruiser, so far all thumbs up for price, $12890 out the door with 2 miles on the clock. Handles very well, engine has loads of power from low, mid range and then some more if needed...Big engine likes that high test fuel, sure do like that stretched out feel & power with great handling she has and just keeps keeps me smiling while crusing on down the road...Love it!
