Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production started year: 2017
In 2017, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha Raider, a custom cruiser that debuted in 2008. Compared to the Yamaha XV1900A that debuted in 2006, the Raider packed several differences and custom elements.
Some differences between the XV1900A and Raider models included a raked-out fork, a lower seating position, a wider tire on the rear (210 mm), a unique black finish on the engine, and several custom elements. Also, the Raider model was manufactured in limited numbers.
Over its production period, the Raider featured the same performance, visual, and technical specifications without any significant modifications, except for color alterations and an assist and slipper clutch.
Visually, the Raider was similar to the first model, packing the same standard features, including a round headlight up front, a pulled-back handlebar, a tank-mounted instrument panel, a two-piece dual seat, five-spoke lightweight wheels, and a dual exhaust system mounted on the right side.
The bike was built on a double cradle aluminum frame with a 46 mm telescopic fork on the front, two 298 mm brake discs, and an adjustable telescopic fork with a 310 mm brake disc on the rear, delivering optimum handling and stopping performance.
At its core, the 2017 Yamaha Raider had installed a 1,853cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering 100 hp at 4,250 rpm and 168 Nm (123 lb-ft) torque at 2,500 rpm.
