Yamaha Raiders Make it your Own

Videos are NOT mine I got them from KZbin to show different styles of Costume Raiders out there!

[@davidmcchargue8427]

I've had my Raider for a few years now, is it just me, I still can't help checking out Raider vids......makes me want to grab my helmet and keys and get in the wind!!!

[@harryprater9014]

I am a Raider rider....Love'em...one of the best bikes ever built..!!!!!

[@SoundPursuit]

I have a 2008 that has over 70k miles on it. I’ve ridden it from Houston, Tx to Sturgis at least 8 times. Would love to have a newer model. It is a beast and still draws attention.

[@trinybwoy]

Your post has given me inspiration. I have an 09 with 48k. I hope to ride it for many many more miles!!

[@troyjenkins2198]

maybe I'll see you there in 2022. I'll be on my 2014 SCL.

[@joelsuarez4251]

Yup a I am at 70K 2013 Raider. Need to start looking for a replacement.

[@undrehankins8693]

Whenever I need my Raider visual fix, this is always the video I come back to!!! THIS IS THE BEST RAIDER VIDEO IVE SEEN!!!

[@dvlman714]

I ride an Indian Darkhorse but, damn, I love the looks of the Raider, a beast!

[@joelsuarez4251]

Dark horse is a beautiful bike and awesome power plant.

Nice video bro! love the Citizen Cope track too..

I just got a Yamaha Stryker, and I love it so I can only imagine how friggen' amazing the Raider is to ride. I absolutely love the profile of the Raider. It's perfection on two wheels.

[@ronaldroberts8515]

I luv the raider as I have a 2015 with cobra swept pipes and a couple other modifications.

[@gertvandenheever5302]

I've had bikes, seen bikes, and watched many a report on bikes in my life, but this bike remains my all time high choice of a motor bike. Unfortunately, they are very scarce here in South Africa.

[@w.w.1348]

My favorite Raider vid!

[@johntorres7448]

I like the music and the Bikes

[@newoldvideos989]

I just bought a 2014 Raider S with 1435 miles on it.. :) Upgraded from a XVS 1100 Classic

[@joez247]

Thanks Joel for the Raider memories.

[@kevinhocker8507]

This video made me want the Yamaha Raider. It's the coolest bike. If I was the Yamaha corporation I'd use this video to bring back the Raider.....Great Job on the Video...the best

[@apophispnw5717]

I love my raider

[@mrlarrybobjr]

Great video! Except the purple one and the green one. Personal opinion of course. I seen a lot of great ideas. Good music also.

[@straycat1674]

That purple one has just sold me. Let me know what color I want as well, just midnight purple.

Wish we could get the Raider in Oz - getting a Warrior but prefer the chopper look of these beasts

[@joelsuarez4251]

People are selling them left and right for less than 7k grab one before they start to go up in price as Japan is not building anymore muscle cruisers!

[@davepatterson91]

Absolutely incredible bike. I have owned 10 bikes previous to this and nothing compares to this bike. We have a dog named raider so now my wife has a Raider and I have a Raider so she gets to ride on it from time to time. Does anybody know what song this is? Great video.

[@sehr1515]

Love the look without the stock pipes

[@Joker_ha]

What song is this?

As a citizen cope fan from waaaayback, I'm looking at the raider now.

Good Presentation and a beautiful bike 👍😎

[@mikevajda2262]

beautiful bike....would have rather heard engine sounds instead of the music

[@shnarklevonbarkle110]

Your video production skills are improving exponentially. Given the definition of attacking within an enemy's territory, that term "Costume Raider" is an interesting and ironic turn of phrase. However, I've also noticed that the bikes as well as the biker culture over in Japan is taking the lead as a trend setter. As someone who grew up riding and wrenching on American motorcycles, I think this is a good thing. There are videos of guys riding on their custom choppers over in Japan and they're all so friendly. They're all smiling and waving. it's a refreshing change from the "bad boy" image that has become so prevalent among the "1%ers". I've been scouring the internet for days trying to find some of those videos of those Japanese women on those Raiders. They appear to be rigged up to make a lot of video content. How did you find them, and are there any links to their videos?

[@joelsuarez4251]

Hey thanks i have one of the guys from there as a friend in facebook i will share their You-tube link.

I think the Yamaha Raider was built in the USA which if true would raise the question, which is the best bike ever to be built in America.The Raider or the Goldwing.

[@joelsuarez4251]

Yes the Star Company was built for the North America market. All others where under Yamaha.

What's the song?

I love my raider but customizing it is killing me there's very few choices then anything that I want for the bike is a HD designed product and has to be modified to fit if it's even possible and don't get me started on the price of aftermarket raider parts vs HD parts for example a basic sissy bar for raider is 150 bucks but if you want the same version with quick disconnect they jump to almost 300.00 vs HD sissy bars start at 50 bucks and a completely custom designed sissy bar can be had for 300 on up basically anything I have found for the raider has a HD version that's talk the price but I do love the look and torque just the expense of making it mine

[@joelsuarez4251]

When it comes to your own customizing you most created it your self, just need a creative mind, the raider has beautiful lines all ready, really does not needs much, there is a company call low and mean and with their products you can change the look of you Raider. My personal Raider really is stock but yet i get chase down the road and ask what is it that i am riding!

Because some people married brand name, and they want an American made bike, but they drive a Toyota Because they know better.. lol 😆

​​​@@joelsuarez4251è lo stesso problema pretesto , purtroppo devo trovarla al di fuori dell'Italia, altre marche hanno risolto con modifiche successive stage 1, 2 e 3, cosa poteva limitare la Yamaha, l'ingegneria di questi motori sono stupefacenti motori che girano sui 4000giri , non necessitano di radiatori o altri funzionari per evitare il surriscaldamento, un vero peccato .....un grande sbaglio della Yamaha, smettere la produzione di questa bestia 💯
