YAMAHA Stryker (2013-2014) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha Stryker was a chopper-styled motorcycle that debuted in 2011 and was similar in design to the Yamaha Raider, which took the industry by storm. The motorcycle was a reinterpretation of the iconic chopper that retained the heritage of earlier choppers.

In 2013, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha Stryker, a mid-class cruiser motorcycle in its third year of production, packing the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as previous models without any significant modifications, except for color alterations.

The 2013 motorcycle was available in three color schemes, such as Candy Red, Pearl White, and Raven, and was for sale at the time with an MSRP of $11,600.

The bike was fitted from the factory with standard features, such as a raked front fork, a round headlight with a chromed housing, a pulled-back handlebar, a teardrop-styled tank, a one-piece dual seat, a two-into-one-into-two chromed exhaust system with two silencers mounted on the right side, and five-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

Power-wise, the 2013 Yamaha Stryker had its soul brought to life by a 1,304cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine managed by an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, boasting 82 Nm (60 lb-ft) torque with maximum strength at 4,000 rpm.

The bike's skeleton was a double cradle steel frame with a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, delivering optimum suspension performance and handling.
