YAMAHA Raider SCL (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2014, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha Raider SCL (Star Custom Line), a custom cruiser limited production motorcycle that debuted in 2012, manufactured in only 500 units.

The 2014 SCL model was in its third year of production and featured the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as previous models without any significant modifications, except for color changes.

In the aesthetic department, the bike was fitted with standard features, such as a round headlight, a pulled-back handlebar, a tank-mounted instrument panel, a two-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system mounted on the right side, and lightweight five-spoke aluminum wheels.

In addition, the bike packed several premium features, including a stainless steel mesh on the throttle cables, clutch, and brake lines, custom-made five-spoke wheels co-developed by Star and Performance Machine, a chromed pulley and belt guard, a genuine two-up leather seat with an SCL logo, and an exclusive metal SCL logo on the top of the fuel tank.

The 2014 Yamaha Raider SCL had its heartbeat set by a 1,854cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine managed by a fuel injection system, boasting 100 hp with maximum strength at 4,250 rpm and 168 Nm (124 lb-ft) torque at 2,500 rpm.

The power produced by the engine was handled by a five-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch and sent to the rear wheel through a low-maintenance final belt drive.
