“Who’s the guy that drives by our house everyday on a different bike, same green-yellow outfit, with loud exhaust and talks to himself”?
Mister Rogers. No one can be Mister Nice Guy 24/7.
raider owner here...you're description of what it's like to ride is accurate, good job.
same here love it!
Taking delivery on my black 2017 Raider in two weeks. Can't wait roll out on it!
Thank you for the words of wisdom!
Update: Had my first season on my Raider and about to start my second. This bike is INSANE. It is a beast and I love it. Most of the time I just cruise on it but when I had to romp on it to pass two semi's, it pulled hard. At the back of the 2nd trailer, at 60 mph, I am up to 100 mph before I hit the landing gear. Specs say it tops out at 125 mph and usually when you approach that you will feel it back off. But it pulls just as hard at 100 mph.
I set mine up with a fairing and saddlebags which are all quick release. So I can go touring as well. The only negative I have is the seat get's you a little saddle soar on long trips so I am replacing it. My wife and I were stopped at a light and a guy and his girl rolled up next to us on a Sport Glide. She gave us the "nod" and we gave it back in return, but the guy was pissed. Lol...when the light turned green he throttled it so hard he almost broke her back. I guess he was a Harley Snob. But I am finding those guys are going the way of the dinosaur. We went to HD because my wife wanted to look at the Sportster and we had just looked at the Bolt R Spec for herself. And guys in the HD parking lot were really cool and we are talking and nobody was acting out of pocket. Raider is a classic and glad I nabbed one.
You still own it? My next bike is going to be a raider, im buying one in August. I'll have my R6 for track/canyons, FJR for touring, and Raider for cruising
@@Stripping_Bolts OH yeah I still have it. There is only one bike that I would even consider replacing it with and that is the Star Venture Transcontinental. That is only because my wife and have been taking longer trips. But I couldn't be more stoked over a bike with the Raider.
I rode a raider after riding my 2011 wide glide with tins of mods. This raider would eat my HD. It made my dyna feel like a pile of shit. I sold the dyna i was so disguted in it. The raider aint no 202hp v max but itll rip the arms off ya. All aluminium frame makes it handle and feel stiff so much better then a steel frame. Awesome awesome bike.
Hey all. I just want to add I tested a Breakout and own a Raider. Physically the Raider is bigger than the Breakout. The Breakout feels small when you ride it. That feeling of "sitting in" the Raider is way more apparent than on the Breakout where you feel a little more on top of the bike. 6' and over will feel more fitted on the Raider vs the Breakout. To put it in perspective, the Raider is the same length as a Goldwing (the king of comfort) and the Breakout is 8" shorter.
I bought an Raider 3 months ago ....I absolutely LOVE this machine.. Yes, it is a heavy bike...but once you get used to it....its awesome...!! Nothing but torque..!!!
It has a low center of gravity so it doesn't feel heavy. I got 1
love my raider and love the fact that it can light the tire up all the way through first gear when your feeling like it but then when you just wanna cruise it has the grunt and gearing to get down the road with no effort at all.
I ride w/ friends that have the 103 & 107 M8. Light after light the M8 could not keep up w/ my Roadliner. You are absolutely right SRKCYCLES when you call this 1854 cc / 113 cubic inch a BEAST ! That it is ! Roll -ons are UNREAL !!

Very nice,I've been riding sport bikes all my life, was thinking of the new VMax more relaxed riding position. Would love your input on one.
Raider will always sound better than a VTX, regardless of pipe configuration. A good exhaust note plays a BIG part in the overall 'experience' IMO
Well my vtx has cobra pipes on it, and sounds amazing, better than this radar, so don't know what you're talking about
@@johnllewellyn7085 I love the sound of the VTX 1300, with the right exhaust. If yours is the 1800, which exhaust do you have? I love the VTX. The single pin and dual pin makes such a difference in the sound.
@@johnllewellyn7085 The 1800 VTX is a better bike than the Raider, in terms of price and performance. The Raider is very fun to ride, though; it's unusually fun to ride.
@@joelalexander5338 The Raider is a lighter and more powerful bike, I'm not sure how the VTX would be outperforming it.
Love these engines!!!!!!!!and as always blessings your way buddy great content
I like the windshield, too. Seems about the right size for a muscle bike. Or for any bike. I'm looking to reduce my windshield on my bike and this one seems great. (Nice bike, too!)
HISean great videos watch em alltime would be able to me what windshelid that silver raider had on it thank you jim
What an awesome bike. Deft lots of torque. Reminds me of the stryker I once had.
The stryker is basically the same bike just 1300 ccs vs the 1854cc
'I've been a Yamaha man since the 60's and nobody does rake and body design like it. I need this bike for my new riding life.
Big up the post-it note, it stayed on for some time !! 🤣
I miss my 09 raider these bikes are a beast.
Love my 2012 nebulous purple raider. Absolute beast!
Love your vid 😊👌
The Yamaha Raider is a beast!!! ☺😎😁 What an awesome bike!!!
If you think that's a beast you haven't ride a Vmax
Love my 2009 that I just bought. Very comfortable and so easy on curves.
Fan of performance cruiser frames....(this one is in its own category MONSTER PERFORMANCE CRUISER Frame) ... this one is on my to get list soon...a left knee injury on a 5 ft 11 body..makes this bike with Forward extensions d ideal choice.. ..God willing i will ride again on one of these. ..GREAT VIDEo n MUCH thanks for informing us..
I'm going to check those tank straps out.
lol, the first Breakout is Harleys Rocker-C. Nice bike and keep up the videos. Also, WOW that exhaust is huge!
Not even similar at all the rocker c is completely different and far weaker
Please review the kawasaki mean streak you have in stock!!!!
Yamaha's muscle bike is the VMAX.
yeah but i dont have one lol
dheller777 He had one. He had the 2005 V-max and was going to take it on the highway but it sold fast.
dheller777 amen
V-MAX is a bad ass ride
Star's top muscle bike... but don't think for one moment that the Raider won't be in your very near rear view my friend, just turn your head around and you'll be surprised to see how close I am to you!
Not sure where to post this, I am new to your channel, but I have a question. I'm looking to get into bikes and I was wondering if you did or are planning to do a ride review on a BMW 310R?
+Zachary Brand I have not yet
Absolutely correct !! This is why the breakout exist.
"absonotly" new word. . . I like it.
Vmax, Mt01, Warrior are muscle bikes.
I owned a '12VMAX and '08MT01 and a '13XV1900....they never sold the Raider here in Australia...man I wish I could have one.
I was thinking about another VTX, but this thing, I think, would probably be more fun to ride, which says a lot.
It's a blast. Rode CBR 600's, GSXR 750's, FZ1 's, R1's and many others. The Raider is by far the most fun I've ridden. It's comfortable, smooth, reliable and the torque is insane. I love mine. Once you ride one, you're hooked. My buddies that have ridden mine pull up to my house after they ride it and have a grin from ear to ear. My buddies ride Harleys, Victorys and Indians and they all say the same thing. "This thing is a rocket" or, " This thing is freaking fast." The first time I punched it, it put me on the passenger pillion. And I'm 6'5, 235 lbs.
I have a Raider and it is an absolute blast to ride.
Nice bike I need to get a bike.
nice sound.
MY EXACT BIKE! (but with the stock pipes!) THIS IS AN AWESOME RIDE!!!! and can RIDE with any other bike on the road!!!! I threw on some Viking bags (to be able to pack a few small things for those short road trips) that look good with it... I'm going to put a fairing, full front fender, chin scoop and lights on it eventually. I'm considering a change to the stock wheels with chrome or black and drag handlebars... Anybody got any other suggestions or ideas? I welcome any and all help! Ride SMART, RIDE SAFE and most importantly just RIDE!
The Harley KILLER
Mac Is Back Would this bear a VRod? I own a Harley and a Victory but I like all bikes.
Baird's Bikes Videos I don't if it would be a V-Rod or not. People forget that this is a cruise bike believe it or not. I have the Roadliner S and it has the same engine and it is real fast. Vrod is more of a sportbike where the Yamahas are more of a cruise bike but for a cruise bike there really fast.
Mac Is Back I know the V Max would smoke a V Rod ☺. I remember in 1985 when the V-max first came out. I was a huge fan. I've always been a fan of Yamaha before liking any other bike. I've always been a big fan of the Road Star.
Baird's Bikes Videos The raider wont even beat a 107 harley. The V Rod would absolutely obliterate the Raider in a drag race.
Science Militia1 The Raider won't beat a 107 harley??? Tell that to all the 107 Harleys I smoked! Now a Vrod is a different story!
Those windshields don't do anything and they have a real expensive issue the tires spin on takeoff and it becomes addictive your driving my bike right down to the windshield and mirrors I love that rear end kicking out sideways on take off but definitely gonna need to keep a 240 tire for a back up
Yamaha's muscle bike is the Vmax and has been since the 80's.
Peeon the3rdrail times are changing lol
Thanks for giving us the words of wisdom. Nice bike keep the vvids coming 😀
1700 roadstar owner... however that bike your on is SICK!!!!!!
Keep Safe!
Seeing a lot of homage to Harley Davidson bikes. Does sound good though
I have always liked these bikes. I would still like to own one but I probably won't since I have a roadmaster.
sold 2 days after on youtube?
Sean loves all bikes!!!
Good report. You ever going to market your own beard oil ?
Got the name, got the colors, silver and black, and got the attitude. Now paint the Oakland.... Las Vegas Raiders logo on the tank.
Over all seems a rather striking machine.
What are you asking for that bike?
I wish we got this in Australia
I want one of these so bad
4:01 alllllllllll smiles.
I wonder how the 114 cubic inch Milwaukee eight feels like? Hey Sean did you get a chance to test ride Milwaukee eight 114 cubic inch?
Its like a 20cc difference and the raiders 113 still has more hp and about the same torque
What bike would be best for someone who’s only 5”4 and a first time rider?
Honda grom
Not this lol maybe a Honda rebel small light not much power
Wonder how it would compare to the VRod? Or a Victory Judge which is pretty quick too. I know I own a Harley but my heart is still connected to Yamaha.
Baird's Bikes Videos The 1900cc yamaha breakout makes 100hp at the crankshaft... So its about 89 rear wheel hp. Would get destroyed by a V Rod. The yamaha raider is comorable to any bone stock Harley 107 in terms of power. But, the raider has fake oushrod tubes. HD uses real old school pushrods with roller lifters. HD has a WAY better aftermarket. HD has WAY WAY WAY better resale. As soon as a Raider leaves the dealer lot, its market value drops to less than $5k.
Science Militia1 I still like all bikes. My main bike I ride is a Road King Classic. I still think all bikes is cool.
If it were not a double cardinal sin I would pull a raider engine and install it on my 2014 ultra classic in a heartbeat. Or should I just pull the fairing and saddlebags off of the ultra and install them on a raider?
It has been done.
@@sciencemilitia1853 yea no they dont drop to 5k. And no the raider takes the 107s all day long
@@keyster4391 duuude the old vmax kicks the raiders ass in the 1/4 mile, the new one is on a whole other level
Yeah. I need one of these. And it needs a turbo XD
I'm currently on a fury....looking to possibly move into a raider. Is it a harsh transition?
What make you want to leave the fury for the raider. I’m thinking about buying one of them
Did you switch?
I see you stole that guys one glove and got another :)
@Srkcycles, If you were to sell the Harley give away bike, how much would you sell it for?
I was wondering that myself! Give us a chance to buy it and give away something else
The Raider is a nice looking bike. One thing that I don't understand about HD styling is their refusal to 'lift' their tanks up from their parallel to the ground orientation. People end up buying 'lift' kits to raise the fronts of the tanks on their HDs up a few degrees.. Japanese manufacturers have been providing this lifted tank style since the 80s, surely they got the idea from chopper magazines and photos.. Yamaha continues this in the Raider.. Why have HD not had the nerve to do this yet ? For the record, I love my Softail.. when I want the lifted tank experience then I ride the Honda Fury... A bike that HD would never dare to make..
Because its another thing harley makes you pay extra for
Lifted tanks look ugly as hell.
Nice bike. Despite the CC's, I doubt it has nearly the powerband of an R6 let alone an R1. Id buy a Raider in a heartbeat.
I have this exact bike and my wife rides an R6... Now she's faster off the line, but can't lose me. It can hang (keep up with MOST (not all) sport bikes). But at 1900cc and 113ci you'll still see me VERY near by in your rear view mirrors! ;-)
@@coyacampbell5361 She's faster off the line in the R6? You doin something wrong, mang.
I want this bike
Should have been named the "SLAYDER" LOL
If I ever sell my kawasaki 1700 that does 90 in third out of six gears,.. this bike will be on the short list.
6:08 Bro! You are waking up the dead...
had a wide glide 103 and a 103 street glide??? rode a Yamaha raider one day and the harelys went on craigslist the next day!!! The HD are over price john deeres!!!!!!!!!!!
Just bought my raider a month ago all my neighbors and riding buddy's are on street glides and road kings love them too! But twice the bike for a third of the money you really are just paying for a Name!..And my buddy on his street glide now wants to dump a ton of money into it because he can't keep up,lol..
I'll buy it
if these were in West Australia id get one from tgese guys
It's prob a good thing that I don't have the money to buy one, bcuz if I did, I'd likely be on marketplace right now shopping for this bike! 😂
So it is a nice bike, performs great and all, but that will day nothing without a reference point... So, a nice comparisson video between Raider and HD Breakout?
The breakout would get spanked
@@seanbutler2291 yeah, maybe it would be a looser in a drag race.
But what about comfort, lean angle, looks, exhaust sound, after marjet parts, overall sensations during the ride...?
I think HD makes overpriced Bikes, but still great bikes and Yamaha has never been able to make their crusiers to stand out and be "the harley killer" for the market. Only the Vmax got that kind of atention and no other bike has been a real success for my perspective. Maybe a comparisson would say why
@@69sound81 the breakout i believe has less lean angle and shittier maneuverability, altho iv heard the 2018 has been imprived big time, the breakout is a more agressive sitting position like < that position whereas the raider is more upright
Hello bro. I have a height of 184 centimeters. Will it be convenient for me to sit on this bike?
Саня Беспредельщик yes! Is one of the biggest, about 1.80cm of wheelbase.
I mean. I have high growth. Will it be convenient for me to ride this motorcycle?
Саня Беспредельщик yes, I'm 1,91cm tall and this bike fits me great!
Thank you.
Looks mean
Yamaha comes from Hamamatsu. At least the pianos, don't know about the piano spin off like the motorcycles.
by far the most beastly PUSHROD ! AIR COOLED , motorcycle, there is no competition , especially when it comes to dollars per horsepower if you spend the same money on the raider as you would a v'rod (15,000 dollars more) the Raider would be faster than any harley dollar for dollar,
15k more? V rod only costs 17k.
5.000 . oops
Just looked for a ‘17 raider for sale and they are just under and over 15k, I only paid just a touch over 16k for my V Rod. I am not knocking on Yamaha, I own a 2018 WR250R and love it.
I bought my Raider in Feb 09 , drove it home in between snow flurries lol 28 degrees !
Un vendeur qui évalue une moto bien il vont toute bien
anybody ever cam one of these monsters yet?
👍👌😎
Why is the Harley Davidson M8 engine seem like a copy of this Yamaha Star 113
3:50
Raider is a 1900...not a 1300.
Having trouble with the gears much their skippy..?!
I will one day own a raider.... #Droolstatus
I have one because my buddy had one. He put a fairing on his and hard saddlebags. His is beyond a beast
Yamaha cruisers are the best!! I ride a Yamaha virago1100 and I also wear a panda helmet 🐼!! If you want to check to support come on over have a few laughs.
Yamaha is a Japanese company so I'm pretty sure they make their bikes in Japan.
Ross Malagarie not necessarily a lot of Honda’s production is stateside. Because our hourly wages are cheaper than Japan. Also shipping costs get reduced.
Hummmmmm, I thought Yamaha's "Muscle bike" was the " V MAX" I am 🤯 confused?
Jose Cuevas they both are them bikes have a huge amount of torque and that's what I think make a muscle bike
Muscle cruiser, 2 different segments. Yamaha pretty much won the power/torque war. They just keep getting more crazy
My Kawasaki meansterke is a Muscle bike and I love it
@@keyster4391 that vmax rider must have been really shitty, cuz a stock original model will run low 11s high 10s with a good rider the new model does low 10s and some high 9s, the raider does low 12s high 11s if ur a really good rider, the meanstreak does high 12s low 13s
Correction the raider is a cruiser not a muscle bike , the only muscle bike is a vmax 1200 , 1700 85 threw 2018
You could have an entire TH-cam channel dedicated to how long the Words of Wisdom stay stuck to the tank.
Pretty sure the sticky note flew off after that hill where he tried to pull the front tire up 😂
5 Speed with huge V twin... mine got shit MPG, warrior 102 was a much better bike (faster). had both miss the warrior, don't miss the raider.
Don't know about the Warrior, but I will say that's my only complaint with my Raider... I'm working on trying to improve my MPG. Aside from selling it, do you have any ideas? BTW what were you getting (MPG wise?)
fowlerman1993 yes I miss the Warrior 2 but I got one almost sold it but I kept it I'm glad I did since they don't make them no more that is a bad bike like to see them make again
I had an 06 warrior I traded for my 09 raider. I had the warrior hopped up with churchkey vback intakes and track only computers and it was really about the same as the raider. Only my raider gets better gas mileage and is a smoother ride on the interstate. I would like to have both but I will take the Raider over the warrior.
Coya Campbell you don't buy a 113 CI bike to get good mileage. Though I average 42mpg. I've gotten as little as 36 and as much as 48. It all depends on how much stopping you do.
Yea stock to stock the raider is faster soo i dont know what your talking about, and you dont get a 67 pontiac gto Muscle car and expect good gas mileage like a camry, its a MUSCLE bike not a touring or commuting bike, power takes fuel.
HAHAHA, Abso-not-ly
It's absolutely beautiful.. I'll keep my wide glide tho... 😉
Yamahaul
"..As long as you don't go to jail..". That's the only words of wisdom this guy has ever said.
I wish Yamaha was still producing The Raider.
Hey Sean. Could you do me a personal favor? I appreciate the words of wisdom. I have a bit of a problem with the sticky note blowing away on every test ride, which is pretty much littering. I'd like to think that someone walking down the road will pick it up, and maybe it will change their life for the better. The realist in me believes that it will just end up as another piece of litter on the side of the road. Please, read the scripture, and then put it in your pocket to dispose of after the ride. Please consider this, and thank you.
Lol
or here is an idea... just keep your religion to yourself... no need for paper at all.

Not too impressed with the speed.
OH HE didn't come close to opening it up (probably because of all the cagers that were lurking)! I've had my in excess of 99mph and at 275lbs... I'm being pulled off this bad boy! HOLD ON TIGHT!!!
It looks nice, but it just doesn't vibrate or sound like a Harley. Does Japan inc. just not understand why people buy Harleys? They could build a Harley spec motor if they wanted to. There is no magic in the Harley motor, it's wonderful feel and sound come from it's mechanical specs, and everybody knows what they are. Any manufacturer could build an engine that felt and sounded exactly like a Harley. I ride a Harley for those two reasons alone, not for the name on the tank, or the made in America thing (most of it isn't) or the lifestyle (I ride alone most of the time) Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Honda, just build a bike that feels and sounds like a Harley, and I just might buy it. I wouldn't even care if it didn't look anything like a Harley.
Gerald I mean no disrespect (I promise) but if you want it to be sound, smell and taste like a Harley then stick to buying a Harley! Because they are not Harley's LOLOLOL
2:06 You gotta be kidding me if you think thats unique styling. Thats literally a Dyna clone. And its the exact same acceleration as a M8 Dyna. Fuckin thing even has a SOHC engine with FAKE pushrod tubes... Lol.. asians XD.
I liveth to rideth and rideth to liveth
Amen to the Lord , my soul I giveth
For sure not a bad bike - more like a copy cat trying to be a HD.
Ken is it possible HD is a copy cat of Indian? Or are Indian and HD copy cats of Hercules? Funny how a history lesson can squash an insult quick.
Copy cat trying to be a Harley? Not! Harley started making the breakout after the RAIDER was already out.
You will be okay I am sure of it. They all been trying to copy the best and that is the truth.
Not giving any insult just keep to the facts and you will be okay I am sure.
Ken best or most popular?
