2012 Yamaha Raider, 2012 Yamaha Raider
Style, performance, attitude. If you want totally custom but would rather ride than wrench, have a look at the Raider by Star Motorcycles. It truly is the ultimate marriage of cruiser styling and total performance. Its 113-cubic-inch fuel-injected V-twin engine takes a back seat to no V-twin when it comes to power and reliability. And the rest of the chopper-inspired Raider is pure Star quality, designed and engineered by the worlds best bike builders.


Features

The Raider was inspired by the custom chopper movement, but since it s a Star, it had to also handle, stop and go.
A 6-degree yoke angle the first ever on a street-legal Star Motorcycle makes it possible to achieve that custom look as well as neutral handling and straight-line cruisability: 33-degree rake plus 6 degrees yoke angle gives total rake of 39 degrees and 102mm of trail.
Custom 5-spoke wheels carry a 120/70-21-inch bias tire up front, and a wide, 210/40-18 radial out back the tallest and widest ever on a Star.
Estimated 42 mpg* means this cruiser can go the distance between fill-ups.
Left-thumb operated high-beam switch, and right-thumb activated accessory driving light switch for great visibility.
Jewel-like fit and finish, and Star quality paint, chrome and attention to detail are evident all over the Raider.
Cool, tank-mounted instrumentation complements the custom look, and contains analog speedometer and fuel gauge, along with twin digital tripmeters, odometer and self-diagnostics.
Bright multireflector headlight, LED taillight and amber turn signals behind clear lenses give a custom look.
02 sensor and three-way catalyst reduce emissions.
