"113 CUBIC INCHES OF RAW ATTITUDE" - www.starmotorcycles.com
Many Roads Still Ahead - Ken's 2008, Paris, KY For a complete archive of the bikes we've displayed on the front page, click here. Yamaha called it the first "modern performance custom"; the Raider from Star Motorcycles/Yamaha broke new ground in styling, performance, power and handling upon its introduction in 2008. During an unprecedented 10-year model run, the Raider exhilarated its owners, defeated all competition, and inspired a fierce and loyal following, winning awards and accolades along the way. 2018 is the first year in a decade that there is no Raider model in the Yamaha line-up. While most motorcycle models run on for 4, 6, or even 8 years, the Raider held on for 10, with minimal changes along the way; it's longevity a testament to it's design, engineering, and incredible performance, the core of which is the amazing XV1900 113 C.I.D. powerplant. That 1900cc heart continues to beat, in somewhat altered form, in the new Yamaha Transcontinental Touring bikes, the Voyager and Eluder. Perhaps due to the changing trends towards touring- and bagger-type motorcycles, these full-dress rigs are a far cry from the lean, custom hot-rod machine that the Raider exemplifies, so the Raider remains a very unique bike, even in pre-owned form. While the Raider is no longer a "new" model, 10 years of production and ownership mean that there are thousands of Raiders and Raider-enthusiasts out there. Original and 2nd (and 3rd) owners continue to get the most out of this motorcycle. From the beginning, the Raider has proven to be a phenomenal customization platform, and modified and personalized examples continue to be loved the world over. As long as there are Raiders on the road, and owners that want to ride them, Raider Performance will aim to help them get the most out of this incredible machine and serve as a community for all Raider owners and riders. Share your obsession in the numerous online Raider-dedicated forums and on Facebook®.
