Toutsuite Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Not that I'm in the market for a new bike or anything but I have noticed the Yanks get a more extensive selection of Yammy cruisers than the current measly 3 available in the Uk. Especially the Stryker: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=yamaha+stryker&hl=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=HOrPT6mGGoSf0QW0o83JCw&sqi=2&ved=0CGQQsAQ&biw=1310&bih=700 And the Raider: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=yamaha+stryker&hl=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=HOrPT6mGGoSf0QW0o83JCw&sqi=2&ved=0CGQQsAQ&biw=1310&bih=700#hl=en&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=yamaha+raider&oq=yamaha+raider&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&gs_l=img.3..0l10.198635.200848.0.202057.13.10.0.3.3.0.101.692.9j1.10.0...0.0.weHST5lF9Ho&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=cdfa8e29da0b37d3&biw=1310&bih=700 Those bikes are just porn in the form of metal man!
Noise Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Yer i think i prefer the Raider over the Stryker. But as you say if they are only in America then its gunna cost a bit to import one.
fireman fez Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 your in luck http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-RAIDER-XV1900A-CUSTOM-CRUISER-MUSCLE-BIKE-BLACK-/221043473232?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item337737bb50#ht_1921wt_1270
Ttaskmaster Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 I do like the Stryker, although I'd have to change the piddly front forks for something beefier and maybe reduce that massive rake angle, plus some other alterations... The Raider looks like Yammie's answer to Honda's (I think) attempt at that off-the-shelf Chopper shite... just far more half-assed. For example, what's the massive space above the engine for? But both look like variants of the new 1300 and 1900 Midnight Star models we have here...
