YAMAHA Stryker (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2014, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha Stryker. This chopper-styled motorcycle debuted in 2011 and was similar in design to the Yamaha Raider, which took the industry by storm.

The 2014 Stryker model was in its fourth year of production following the same recipe as the first model. It featured the exact visual, technical, and performance specifications without any significant modifications, except color alterations.

In the aesthetic department, the motorcycle had standard features, such as a raked-out front fork, a round headlight, a wide, pulled-back handlebar, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a one-piece dual seat, a dual chromed exhaust system, and five-spoke lightweight wheels.

The bike was built around a double cradle steel frame supporting a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, handling the bike's suspension and offering an optimum riding experience.

As for the braking power, the bike was fitted with a 310 mm brake disc, both front and rear, tied to hydraulic calipers, delivering optimum braking performance.

The 2014 Yamaha Stryker had installed a 1,304cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine underneath its fuel tank, with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 82 Nm (60 lb-ft) torque with maximum strength at 4,000 rpm.

The engine's power was converted into motion 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.
