Harley Dyna vs Yamaha Raider! I Drag Raced a Subscriber! Test Riding Yamaha Raider 1900 Used

[@POPPASHANGO]

Love my Raider... But who really cares about which is fastest. Both are badass bikes

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Yeah, the drag race is purely click bait. We all know there are too many variables. And like you say, it doesn't matter at the end of the day. Unless I'm the one who engineered and built the bike, I can't really take credit for its performance. Lol.

[@nathandeleeuw281]

I have a raider myself and i love watching your raider videos. Not many people own this bike and watching a drag race against the harley really got me smiling :)

[@celticguy6405]

You should check out the private raider group on facebook if you haven't yet!

[@JonsMotoGarage]

I'm still bitter that I lost. Hahahaha!

[@dbest1aVlogs]

Both beautiful bikes. See that’s the joy of riding... I own a Yamaha, but love the Harley’s also, especially the dynas. I’ve never spun a Raider maybe one day. I’ve enjoyed the heck out a dyna lowrider S ... loved it. Ride your Love, and Love your Ride.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

I couldn't of said it any better myself! Thanks for watching, broth! Ride safe!

[@Sn0wb0ardBum]

dude it's a raider, of course he had you! He was scared to give it all it's got. both pretty bikes btw.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Check out the rematch vid that dropped recently! Spoiler: the raider killed it! Thanks for watching!

[@mikejordan9754]

I bought a raider bullet cowl new in 2015 and still have it today, almost traded it on a Harley deluxe but couldnt, now I have both. 👍

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Dang, that's a dynamic duo right there! The Raider and Deluxe! Nice! That's probably one of the hardest raiders to come by as well. Thanks for watching, brotha! Ride safe!

[@treeguyable]

Found a 2008 vtx 1800, 5000 miles, way cheap ,like new, fall of 2018, then like a month later, found a 2013 raider, 3500 miles, like new, way cheap, how could I resist either. Now my 92 vmax is just sitting there, not running.These 2 newer bikes are sweet cruisers, just bounce back and forth between them. Chomping at the bit to get my vmax going again. 3 bikes to juggle , love it.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Dang! That's the ultimate muscle bike lineup! The vtx 1800 is hard to come by these days. It'd be cool if they brought them back.

[@treeguyable]

@Petko Lilov I am pretty sure the Raider is, but they accellerate a bit different, some days I ride both back to back, hard to tell. Unless you need to squeeze every half second down, I would go with looks, mileage, value, dang , hard to split the decision, love both vtxs, and the Raider.I have since got an R1, so the big thumpers are just cruisers, that still happen to be very fast ones!

[@R3N1R3N]

the Raider with a Barnett high performance clutch setup, and a cobra tuner and 2-1 cobra exhaust will leave most M8 Harleys in the dust, even those 114ci The only downside of the Raider is it only has 5 gears.

[@justoneperson]

I'm on my way. Don't go anywhere till I get there.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Hahaha...I'll get the bikes warmed up.

[@Jay_Hall]

Ultimate cruiser, the VMAX, nothing like it.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

I'm still on the hunt for a vmax! They're hard to come by, but I hear the wait will be worth it when I finally get my hands on one. Thanks for watching and commenting! Ride safe!

[@chauffeurmarco]

Jay Hall yeah, it’s a bomb, I give you that, but in my book it’s not a real cruiser. It’s more built as a sport engine than the V-Twin typical cruiser. This bike can go over 100km/h on the fist gear. That is not to me a cruiser. It doesn’t even look like a cruiser.

[@Twincam808]

Raider is a beast hands down.

[@jaclyno5224]

So THAT'S what you do when people come to check out your bikes.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

I swear it was his idea.

[@fallen1805]

Does the vtx have more lower end torque than the raider ?

[@xidegel4494]

Jon, say man. Are you from the Valley, from the Rio Grange Valley, South Texas ? Or somewhere in California ?

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Arizona Phoenix metro area. We call it the valley here as well. Thanks for checking the vid!

[@RandysRides]

One of those small, smoked glass windshields would look great on that Raider...and a solo seat. :)

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Yeah, the solo seat and lowered in the rear. Makes it look like a completely different bike.

[@chauffeurmarco]

Randy's Rides are you out of you’re freaking mind? Putting a windshield to a custom chopper style bike would kill the sharpe look. You don’t do that kind of mistake here.

[@mathis21]

I purchased a 2014 Raider a few weeks ago and I wouldn't trade it for anything! It's F.A.S.T and comfortable. Is that a stock exhaust on yours?

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Yeah, stock exhaust. I don't dig the look so much, but it doesn't sound half bad for being stock. Congrats on the raider purchase! I've always been a huge fan of them and felt like they're underappreciated...until someone rides it. Hahaha. Ride safe!

[@3613jeremy]

What's everyone's thoughts on the raider vs the vtx 1800 power thanks

[@JonsMotoGarage]

It's been a few years since I jumped on a vtx 1800. My impression was always that they seem a lot torquier/twitchy. Not sure how to describe it exactly. Like I mentioned in the video, the raider seems a bit more tame. Still tons of power, but not as harsh when you get on it. So, it all comes down to personal preference. Hopefully someone else can chime in who had more insights. Thanks for checking the vid!

[@Atigers94]

I'm the one that just bought that Raider. And personally I feel like the vtx was quicker off the line but I haven't truly got down on the Raider yet. The Raider definitely rides smoother than my vtx though in my opinion

[@JonsMotoGarage]

@@Atigers94 My thoughts exactly.

[@treeguyable]

I own both, and I swear, some days, one seems faster than the other, back and forth, but they are both such a joy to ride.

[@StevenCabral666]

Miss my Raider, great bike!

[@Twincam808]

Steven Cabral why you sold it?

[@StevenCabral666]

@@Twincam808 Wanted a bagger for longer trips and ended up getting a 2018 Indian Chieftain Dark Horse which also has been an amazing bike so far.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Yeah, the Raider is one of a kind for sure. But that Indian Chieftain Dark Horse sounds like a blast! That's the Indian Bagger that first caught my attention. I'm a big fan!

[@dynademos]

Awesome 😎 but did he buy it?!

[@JonsMotoGarage]

Vid to come on that. Lol. We'll see...

[@markurbancowboy]

The Raider's seem fast until they come up against a HD Vrod or a Suzuki M109 Boss. These two bikes are muscle cruisers on another level.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

I hear the vmax is the true muscle bike to be reckoned with. I dig the raider more for the lines and chopper style (if that's what you're looking for). The power is a nice bonus, but you're right about the vrod and m109r - both monsters if you're looking for shear power plants. Lol. Thanks for watching and commenting! Ride safe!

[@markurbancowboy]

@@JonsMotoGarage The Vmax is a beast, but not your traditional Vtwin cruiser. It is definitely the baddest muscle bike on the planet though.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

@@markurbancowboy I hear ya. I've been looking for a vmax for months. Just a matter of time.

[@UncleRobsGarage]

@@JonsMotoGarage don't buy a Vmax if you don't like spending money for fuel I ride a M109R these days.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

I rode the m109r a few times (never really got on it). It's a bit too much for me to be quite honest. I just wanna try the vmax to at least know what it's like. Lol.

[@daveblacken9819]

What size is the Harley

[@JonsMotoGarage]

The harley has the 103 cubic inch (1690cc). The Raider is 113 cubic inch (1900cc).

[@TrippHPjunkie]

96ci I think

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Only thing quicker in stock form from Japan is the M109R, but I don't care for the sound of that machine.

[@chauffeurmarco]

Yeah, it’s me again. Sorry but the VTX1800 is a muscle bike but doesn’t have the torque that Raider has. And I’m writing before the race and I don’t care if the dyna will be the winner because it is no match with the Raider. If any dyna win it’s because the Raider’s rider is not used to race. In fact, no Harley is except maybe and I say maybe because the 114 has not even the torque to match the Raider. Only for the 0-60 of course.

[@kajjeekanalenfan72]

I’m saving to buy a Raider, but a Dyna Low Rider S is also on my list of bikes that I want, wouldn’t the 117 kit be enough to at least match the Raider?

[@chauffeurmarco]

@@kajjeekanalenfan72 if you mean the new 117 ci? Close. You have to understand something. The Raider gets 123 pound at 2500 RPM already. Harleys it only between 3000-4000 RPM. That means the Raider est the Harley before. But guy. St this big almost 2 litres, why do we need to see which one is a bit better? At 2 litres, they are more than monsters.

Andy Gascon y friend has the FJR. It’s not a cruiser. It’s a mix between a sport and touring bike. Sport motor engin are made for speed. That is why we call them sport bike and the cruisers are for cruising. There is no ultimate bike or better bike. It only depend of what you want to do with it. That’s it, that’s all. Tire to hear what is better. A sport or a cruiser. It’s like a truck vs corvette.
