Yamaha Raider description

Design

Yamaha tapped the custom world for styling cues on its 2008 Star Raider including a chopped-out rake, raised handlebars, and the widest tire yet in its lineup. The chrome 2-1-2 down-swept exhausts have an EXUP valve that aims to boost torque in the 2500-3500 rpm range and includes environmentally-friendly twin catalyzers and an oxygen sensor.

Options Included

It includes many custom extras such as Power Commander fuel management system, tachometer, low windscreen, chrome and detachable passenger seat backrest.

Rider Experience

The Yamaha Raider is the closest handling experience I could find to a sport bike in the cruiser category.  With rider and passenger, it has power to spare.  Very comfortable for trips.  Makes a strong statement riding around town.  Rock solid Yamaha mechanical reliability.  Classic chopper styling.

Yamaha Sketches out the Features on the New 2010 YZ450F [Video]

Thu, 10 Sep 2009

You’ll realize how cheesy that headline is after watching the pretty rad video that Yamaha has released. Yamaha’s new motocross bike has taken a radical new approach.  The engine is backwards. Yamaha’s reason for doing this is to shift the heavy end of the motor more to the center of the motorcycle to make it more agile and responsive.  Slanting the cylinder also made for a straighter pathway for the air intake at the front of the bike.

It was delayed by a day but the Isle of Man TT’s Dainese Superbike race finally went underway Sunday. Originally scheduled to open the 2013 Isle of Man TT, the race was pushed back a day because poor weather earlier in the week prevented proper practice and qualifying.
