YAMAHA Raider Bullet Cowl (2015-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha Raider was a custom cruiser motorcycle that debuted in 2008. Compared to the XV1900A, the Raider version packed a raked-out fork, a lower seating position, a wider rear tire (210 mm), a black-finished engine, and several custom features.

In addition to the base, S, and SCL versions, Yamaha made available the Bullet Cowl version, which, as its name suggests, packed a bullet cowl that offered a tougher look and excellent wind protection.

In the visual department, the bike was similar to other versions, packing standard features, such as a round headlight, a pulled-back handlebar, a two-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system with two silencers on the right side, and lightweight five-spoke aluminum wheels.

In 2015, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha Raider Bullet Cowl, a custom cruiser motorcycle that packed the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as the base and S versions but with an additional front cowl.

The bike was built around a double cradle aluminum frame with a 46 mm telescopic fork on the front, delivering 130 mm of travel, and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear with 89 mm of travel.

As for the power figures, the 2015 Yamaha Raider Bullet Cowl was powered by a 1,853cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with a fuel injection system in charge, delivering 100 hp at 4,250 rpm and 168 Nm (123 lb-ft) torque at 2,500 rpm.
