Re:Yamaha Raider 4 Years, 7 Months ago  
I seen one Saturday at fort smith and I say wow!!
also, Its a very nice looking bike well put together
machine. Its looks better than the rocker to me. I sold my m109r so it looks like my next cruiser will be a raider-s.

Darren, I kinda like them myself, I'll just have to see one and see if it's as nice as I'm hearing. Don't think I could swing another payment right now, but I can always dream. BB

I too saw one at the Biketoberest manufacturer tents. By the time I got there, all demo rides were full. Maybe I'm just resisting change, but I like my R* Silverado better. Of course, a 20+ mile test ride could alter that opinion. But, as for looks, I'll go old school.

I went and looked at the Raider and sat on it. It does seem to be a lighter bike than the Roadstar. I think it looks better in person than in the photos I've seen. But still is not my style of bike.

I had an opportunity to see this bike for the first time this weekend. While not my style of bike, I was impressed. It's definitely a sharp looking bike. If the ride is as good as its looks, it should be a good seller.

Welcome Darren. The FI is good. Overall if I were looking at a new bike I'd give it definite consideration especially if the motor is as bulletproof as the other R*'s.
