Yamaha Raider description

The bike is in like-new condition.  I am the original owner.  The bike has always been stored in a garage and has been meticulously cared for and maintained. The bike has never been tipped over or crashed into anything. I have all the original paperwork and maintenance history.  An issue with a used bike is tire condition, motorcycle tires are expensive.  I just had new Metzeler tires installed front and rear.  


The bike includes the following "Yamaha factory" accessories made specifically for the Raider:  boulevard windscreen,  saddlebags, quick release passenger backrest, drag exhaust pipes, custom cover and a full service manual.  

I didn't like the look of the stock exhaust.  Lots of folks install the short, curved very loud pipes.  I thought the straight pipes were stronger looking.  They still rumble but they won't make you deaf.  I rode the bike for a while with the stock exhaust and noticed a pronounced difference in performance with the drag pipes.  You can feel a "pipe" effect at a higher RPM and makes the bike exciting to ride.  I thought full windshields look kinda grandpaish so I went with the boulevard windscreen.  If you are going to ride at 70 mph for anything more than an hour the windscreen is nice as it takes the air pressure off your chest.  The saddlebags are sleek and have enough room to stash stuff for a overnighter or a day trip lunch.  If you haven't ridden a Raider before you would love it.  The cruiser style puts the seat low so it is easy to reach the ground at stops.  The grips are set high and comfortable.  The forks have some rake to them which makes the bike look mean but doesn't seem to deter from handling.  I have ridden a few other cruisers but not one as solid, tight and well built as a Raider.  I know this bike is not a HD, but it drips no oil, is half the price and with 1845 cc's will crush most cruisers out there.

Per Nadaguides and Kelly Bluebook a stock 2008 Raider S is worth in the high $8000's.  Given the bikes condition and $1600 of factory accessories, I believe that $8900 price is very reasonable

I am selling the bike in order to buy a boat.

Behind the scenes in Qatar

Sat, 19 Mar 2011

Just because you have the name Jorge Lorenzo on your screen and you've won a world championship doesn't mean you'll get an easy time at scrutineering. In Qatar the technical inspection staff made the factory Yamaha mechanics remove bodywork and unbolt some electrical components in order to get a better look at the guts of the 2011 M1. Everything was in order of course but what a great opportunity for the scrutineers to exercise their power and have a poke around the most high tech Yamaha on the planet.

2014 AMA Supercross – Indianapolis Results

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

Ryan Dungey captured his first win of the 2014 AMA Supercross season in a wild main event that saw two of the top title contenders crashing on the starting straight at Indianapolis‘ Lucas Oil Stadium. Smartop MotoConcepts Suzuki rider Mike Alessi took the holeshot for the second race in a row, but the big news was incoming points leader Ryan Villopoto and Ken Roczen going down before the first turn. Roczen trailed Villopoto by nine points going into the Indianapolis round, but the KTM rookie’s hopes of overtaking the reigning champion took a blow when he went down on the straight, knocking Villopoto off in the process.
