As much as I like the look of the Raider that's the major reason I would not buy one. If you want to do any custom work that involves the frame it's

I have seen one in person its a nice looking bike. It always seems like the grass is greener on the other side. I still like my R* better. Dont like the fenders on the raider but the matte black frame is cool. I will just keep customizing mine. got to get some new pics of it for the clinic though. Fifty Yet  |

I have seen bikes in pictures and have not liked them, but when I see them up close I say wow what a beautiful bike. In the Raiders case I looked at the pics and did not like them. i saw it in the dealer and got the same reaction. I am sure it is a sweet ride, fast and most likely handles well, but I cannot get past the looks. The bike I like is the new harley called the Rocker. I am sure it does not perform as well as the Raider but what a beautiful bike ( at least in my opinion) Oh I forgot the rims suck don't know why they would put some ugly rims on that bike the Rocker of course.

The true worth of a man is how he treats someone when there is nothing to gain.

Saw my first Raider this morning on my way to work. Fella pulled up next to me at a traffic light, very nice looking bike. Much nicer in person, I really liked the rake of the front end and the exhaust which I thought was ugly isn't as bad in real life as in the pictures. I can see the attraction to it but I'll stick with my R*.
