With its low slung stature, black accents and smart features, the Star Motorcycles Raider is an attractive cruiser that is ready to reward you with a unique riding experience each time you jump on its saddle.

At the heart of the motorcycle sits a 113-Cubic-Inch (1854cc), air-cooled V-twin OHV, engine with 4 valves per cylinder. The engine’s power is kept under control by a 5-speed, multiplate transmission with wet clutch.

The motorcycle’s backbone is represented by a light all-aluminum cast frame which is paired with a light, Controlled-Fill, aluminum swingarm.

The Star Motorcycles Raider rides on custom 5-spoke wheels which are complemented by 120/70-21-inch bias tire up front, and a wide, 210/40-18 radial out back.

As far as prices are concerned, the 2015 Star Motorcycles Raider can be yours for no less than $14,990 (Available From October 2014).

Overview

Instant Attitude Adjustment.

If you really want totally custom but would rather ride than wrench, have a look at the 2015 Yamaha 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 world's best bike builders.

2015 Star Motorcycles Raider Key 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 Star Motorcycle—makes it possible to achieve that custom raked-out 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.

2015 Star Motorcycles Raider Features and Benefits:

Engine:

• 113-cubic-inch (1854cc) air-cooled, OHV with 4 valves per cylinder, pushrod 48-degree V-twin pumps out max torque at just 2500 rpm and max power at 4500 rpm for powerful, relaxed cruising.

• Four pushrod-activated valves and two spark plugs per cylinder provide optimum combustion efficiency along with classically beautiful engine architecture.

• Ceramic-composite plated cylinders for superior heat dissipation with forged pistons cooled by oil jets. Provides outstanding reliability and longer engine life.

• 9.5:1 compression ratio and aggressive cam timing increase power output across the board.

• Computer-controlled, twin-bore fuel injection monitors multiple engine parameters to calculate perfect mixture under all conditions; wide-angle 12-hole fuel injectors provide excellent atomization.

• A 3.5-liter airbox is hidden in the area below the fuel tank for great performance and clean styling.

• Two-into-one-into-two exhaust with Exhaust Ultimate Power valve (EXUP®) inside boosts torque in the 2500-3500-rpm range.

• Special custom-machining of the cooling fin edges gives a jewel-like appearance to the engine as light hits it from different angles.

Chassis/Suspension:

• All-aluminum cast frame is light, rigid and tuned for light, athletic handling. A light, Controlled-Fill, aluminum swingarm casting complements the bike’s lithe style.

• Low, sculpted seat holds the rider in place, and pullback bars reach back to enforce a casual, urban cruising style.

• 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.

Specifications

Quotes:

"You are looking at a special generation of custom cruisers. A breed that stands apart. Check out the incredible attention to detail. From front to back, the Raider is loaded with "custom" inspired parts. Stretched out fork, fat rear tire, low seat and an aggressive, slammed riding position. The Raider features more black parts than the S version. The Raider not only looks good… it offers an incredible riding experience too." -- Total Motorcycle
